Torso Company manufactures a single product and has a JIT policy that ending inventory must equal 25% of the next month's sales. It estimates that April's ending inventory will consist of 45,600 units. May and June sales are estimated to be 275,000 and 290,000 units, respectively. Torso assigns variable overhead at a rate of $4.10 per unit of production. Fixed overhead equals $450,000 per month. Compute the number of units to be produced and use this amount to compute the total budgeted overhead that would appear on the factory overhead budget for the month of May.
