Keggler's Supply is a merchandiser of three different products. The company's February 28 inventories are footwear, 21,500 units; sports equipment, 78,000 units; and apparel, 48,500 units. Management believes each of these inventories is too high. As a result, a new policy dictates that ending inventory in any month should equal 30% of the expected unit sales for the following month. Expected sales in units for March, April, May, and June follow.
