Answer 1

Answer: 27,200 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The ending inventory is calculated as;

Desired Ending Inventory = Beginning Inventory + Inventory produced - Sales in the quarter

(40,000 * 20%) = 3,600 + Inventory produced - 22,800

Inventory produced = 8,000 - 3,600 + 22,800

Inventory Produced = 27,200 units
