Answer 1

	Jan	Feb	Mar	Total
expected unit sales	10,300	11,600	9,000	30,900
add: desired ending finished goods inventory (see note)	16,100	13,150	12,300	12,300
total units required	26,400	24,750	21,300	43,200
less: beginning finished goods unit (last month ending inventory)	(16,100)	(16,100)	(13,150)	(16,100)
required prodution units	10,300	8,650	8,150	27,100

note:

desired ending finished goods inventory for Jan = (11,600 feb sales *100%) + (9,000*50%) =>16,100.

feb = (9000*100%) +(8300*50%)=>13,150.

march =(8300*100%) + (8000*50%)

=>12,300
