    Total = 7,400 units

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Quarter Batteries (in units)

    1 5,000

    2 7,000

    3 8,000

    4 10,000

    Management desires an ending inventory each quarter equal to 40% of the next quarter's sales.

    To calculate the production for the second quarter, we need to use the following formula:

    Production = sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

    2nd Quarter (in units):

    Sales = 7,000

    Desired ending inventory = (8,000*0.4) = 3,200

    Beginning inventory = (7,000*0.4) = (2,800)

    Total = 7,400 units
