The company always maintains ending finished goods inventory equal to 25% of the next month’s unit sales. What is the estimated unit sales for August?**Multiple Choice Options:**- 22,868 units- 15,900 units- 17,868 units- 20,900 units **Explanation:**To solve this problem, you will need to use the information given about inventory management. The company maintains ending inventory equivalent to 25% of the next month’s sales, which implies a relationship between July's production and August's sales forecast. To find the estimated unit sales for August, you can use the formula:\[ \text{Ending Inventory for July} = (\text{August Sales}) \times 0.25 \]Plug in the known values and solve for August’s estimated sales.

Beginning inventory for July = July sales x 25% = 26600 units x 25% = 6650 units
