Question

The Sam Company manufactures tools. In 2018, they manufactured 21,000 tools but sold 20,000 tools. In 2018, their change in inventory was:

Select one:
A. 1000 tools
B. -1000 tools
C. -3000 tools

Answer 1

A. 1000 tools

Step-by-step explanation:

Sam Company manufactured 21,000 machines.

Sam Company sold 20,000 tools.

The changes in inventory = Manufactured items - Sold items

The changes in inventory = 21,000 tools - 20,000 tools.

The changes in inventory = 1,000 tools.

Since there are no beginning inventories, we cannot add it with the manufactured items. Therefore, we just deducted the sales volume from production.
