    Giving the following information:

    Sales in Units: Month 1 = 15,000; Month 2 = 20,000; Month 3 = 18,000

    Production in Units: Month 1 = 16,000; Month 2 = 22,000; Month 3 = 15,000

    Production = 22,000pounds

    Ending inventory = (15,000*0.20) = 3,000 pounds

    Beginning inventory = (22,000*0.10) = 4,400 pounds (-)

    Total = 20,600 lbs
