The marketing department expects that the sales volume would increase by 105,560 units.At the end of 2021, Coronado has 32,480 units of inventory on hand. If Plan A is accepted, the 2022 ending inventory should be 28,420 units. If Plan B is accepted, the ending inventory should be equal to 48,720 units. Each unit produced will cost $1.5 in direct labor, $1.3 in direct materials, and $1.2 in variable overhead. The fixed overhead for 2022 should be $1,538,740.
