Smart Strike requires ending inventory of product to equal 20 percent of the next month's unit sales. Beginning inventory in January was 8,200 practice soccer balls and 1,300 match soccer balls.

Every practice ball requires 0.6 square yard of polyvinyl chloride panels, one bladder with valve (to fill with air), and 3 ounces of glue. Smart Strike's policy is that 20 percent of the following month's production needs for raw materials be in ending inventory. Beginning inventory in January for all raw materials met this requirement.
