Presently there will be 18 A's, in accumulation there will be 43 B's, this can create 43 : 3 = 14.3 A's.

Moreover the 50 C's might create 50 : 2 = 25 A's.

Thus 35 D's might create 35 A's.

Now B is a restriction.

Consequently a determined of 14.3 A's might be prepared with the existing stocks in hand.

Therefore the entire A's that might be distributed at the beginning of following week is 18 + 14.3 = 32.3
