Dixie is a product of the Digby company. Digby's sales forecast for Dixie is 506 units. Digby wants to have an extra 10% of units on hand above and beyond their forecast in case sales are better than expected. (They would risk the possibility of excess inventory carrying charges rather than risk lost profits on a stock out.) Taking current inventory into account, what will Dixie's Production After Adjustment have to be in order to have a 10% reserve of units available for sale?

    556.6 or 557 units

    Explanation:

    Given that,

    Digby's sales forecast for Dixie = 506 units

    Digby wants to have an extra units on hand above and beyond their forecast = 10%

    Production units = Sales * (1 + Reserve Percentage)

    = 506 * (1 + 10%)

    = 506 * 110%

    = 556.6 or 557 units

    Therefore, the Dixie's will produce 557 units in order to have a 10% reserve of units available for sale.
