Problems

K$.$ B$.$ Toys Inc. expects to maintain the same inventories at the end of $2023$ as at the beginning of the year. The total of all production costs for the year is therefore assumed to be equal to the cost of goods sold. The various department heads were asked to submit estimates of the costs for their departments during the year. A summary report of these estimates is as follows:

It is expected that $20,575$ units will be sold at a price of $$167$ a unit. Maximum sales within the relevant range are $27,000$ units.
