    Production = 805 units

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Chef Plus projects sales of 650 10-inch skillets per month.

    Beginning inventory = 40 units

    Desired ending inventory = 30% of the next months' sales.

    To calculate the production for July, we need to use the following formula:

    Production = sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

    Production = 650 + (650*0.3) - 40

    Production = 805 units
