Bracket Assemblies is needed to be made X = 131 units.
Current X inventory = 28
X needed = 131 -28 = 103 units
wall board usage A = 5
current inventory = 19
Net requirements of A = 5*103 - 19 = 496 units (since we need to produce 103 X or bracket)
Similarly we calculate other net requirements:
B = 2*103 - 70 = 136 units
C = 4*103 - 16 = 396 units
D = 3*103 - 197 = 112 units
E = 2*103 - 280 = -74 or 0 units required
F = 4*103 - 1225 = -813 or 0 units required
G = 2*103 - 100 = 106 units
