Explanation / Answer

Dear student, only one question is allowed at a time. I am answering the first question

Opening Inventory of June

= Closing Inventory of May

= 28,600 units

Closing Inventory of June

= 10% of estimated Sales of July

= 10% of 296,000 units

= 29,600 units

So, the number of units to be produced in June

= Closing Inventory for June + Sales of June – Opening Inventory of June

= 29,600 + 286,000 - 28,600

= 287,000 units

So, as per above calculations, option D is the correct option
