    Quality Foods should manufacture 286,600 boxes of ginger chicken

    Explanation:

    May sales budget = $1,500,000

    Expected ending worth of inventory in April = 10 days worth of May Budget

    if 1,500,000 is expected in Sales, then worth of April end stock should be 10 days worth of the total May budget

    = 1,500,000/30days * 10 = $500,000

    Since 1 box = $5

    Then the number of boxes expected to be in inventory at the end of April = $500,000/$5 = 100,000 boxes

    Hence the inventory at the end of April should be 100,000 boxes

    If April Budget = $1,400,000

    Stock to be produced in April = $1,400,000/$5 = 280,000

    Hence in April, the expected number of boxes to be sold is 280,000

    If at the beginning of April we gad 93,400 boxes of ginger chicken,

    the additional to be produced to make 280,000 will be

    = 280,000 - 93400 = 186,600

    = Hence Quality Food must produce 186,000 boxes to meet up with their April sales budget.

    However, since 100,000 boxes are expected to be carried over to May in inventory, we have

    186,000 + 100,000 = 286,600 boxes of ginger chicken.
