Jaidyn Dudley · Answer 1

The total dollar amount of ending inventory would be budgeted for April is $702,00

Explanation:

The computation of the total dollar amount of ending inventory is shown below:

= May sales in units * given percentage * buying price

= 5,200 units * 15% * $90

= $70,200

Since, in the question, it is given that the ending inventory units shall be computed by considering the 15% of next month sales. So, we do the same thing. We ignore selling price.
