A company's disaggregation plan calls for the aggregate production to be broken down into 40 percent product a, 40 percent product b, and 20 percent product

c. the aggregate plan calls for total production that averages 1,100 units per quarter. quarter 1 production will be 800 units, quarter 2 production will be 1,400 units, and quarter 3 production will be 1,200 units. how many units of product a will be produced in quarter 4?

Total average production per quarter = 1100 units

So, total production per year (for 4 quarters) = 1100*4 = 4400

Production, quarter 1 = 800 units

Quarter 2 = 1400 units

Quarter 3 = 1200 units

To find: Number of units of product A to be produced in quarter 4? Solution: Total production per year (for 4 quarters) = 1100*4 = 4400 units

Till now, number of units produced in 3 quarters = 800+1400+1200=3400 units

Number of units that are still to be produced = 4400-3400 = 1000 units. Production for product A = 40% 40% of 1000 = 400 units.

Number of units of product A to be produced in quarter 4 = 400 units.

The answer is "400 units".

product a = 40 percent

the aggregate plan calls for total production that averages = 1,100 units per quarter

quarter 1 production will be 800 units

quarter 2 production will be 1,400 units

and quarter 3 production will be 1,200 units

let x is the production that is in quarter 4, then

800+1400+1200+x / 4 = 1100

3400 + x = 4400

x = 4400 - 3400

x = 1000

So, quarter 4 production will be 1000 units

and 40 percent of 1000 = 400 units
