Question

An order for 140 units of Product X has been placed. There are currently 20 units of Product X on hand. Each X requires 4 units of Component Z. There are 40 units of Z on hand. What are the net requirements for Z?

Answer 1

Answer:

Required units of Z is 440.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given 140 units of X required. Currently available number of X is 20. Each X requires 4 units of Z that is X=4Z. And there are 40 units of Z are available.

We have to find the net requirment of Z.

Since 20 units of X available and a total of 140 is required, so more

(140-20)=120 extra X is required.

Now given,

$X=4Z\implies 120X=120\times 4Z=480Z$

We have 40 units of Z available, so,

(480-40)=440

Hence, 440 units of Z required to fulfil the reqirement of a total 140 units of X.
