Quantity 20,000 * cost/unit $5 = $100,000 variable costs
Fixed costs $450,000
Total costs $550,000

Jack is preparing the production budget for Candy Cane Corporation (CCC). Jack determines that the production department generally holds 20% of the following month's budgeted sales in ending inventory each month. From the sales and marketing department, Jack learned that budgeted unit sales for the next 3 months are: January; 1,000 units, February; 1,500 units, and March; 2,500 units.

= Needed items 2,000 units
- Beg inventory 20% Feb sales (300)
= Production Feb 1,700
