April May June July Sales (units) 500 580 540 620 The company wants to end each month with ending finished goods inventory equal to 25% of next month’s forecasted sales. Finished goods inventory on April 1 is 190 units. Prepare a production budget for the months of April, May, and June.

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sales:

April= 500

May= 580

June= 540

July= 620

Finished goods inventory on April 1 is 190 units

Desired ending inventory= 25% next month sales.

To calculate the production for each month, we need to use the following formula:

Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

April:

Sales= 500

Desire ending inventory= (580*0.25)= 145

Beginning inventory= (190)

Total production= 455 units

May:

Sales= 580

Desire ending inventory= (540*0.25)= 135

Beginning inventory= (145)

Total production= 570 units

June:

Sales= 540

Desire ending inventory= (620*0.25)= 155

Beginning inventory= (135)

Total production= 560 units
