Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the number of units Melcher expects to sell in January, we need to use the following formula:

Units to be sold = Units produced + Beginning finished-goods inventory - Desired ending finished-goods inventory

For January, we have:

Units to be sold = Units produced + Beginning finished-goods inventory - Desired ending finished-goods inventory
Units to be sold = 9,400 + 3,000 - 2,500
Units to be sold = 9,900

Therefore, Melcher expects to sell 9,900 units in January. The answer is (D).
