Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the bill of materials, each end item requires:
- 2 units of A
- 3 units of B
- 1 unit of C
- 2 units of D

Therefore, to produce 7 end items, we need:
- 2 x 7 = 14 units of A
- 3 x 7 = 21 units of B
- 1 x 7 = 7 units of C
- 2 x 7 = 14 units of D

However, we already have 10 units of D in inventory, so we only need to produce an additional 24 units of D (i.e., 14 - 10) to satisfy the dependent demand for the 7 end items. The answer is therefore (B) 30.
