The computation is shown below

Particulars                      April             May               June  

Units of Jar                    82,00080,000              75,000  

Garlic in Jar                      5                   5                        5  

Total Garlic requirement 410,000400,000             375,000  

Criteria                                   10%            10%                10%  

Closing inventory                40,000      37,500
