Solution

To solve this problem, we first need to determine what the desired ending inventory for the second quarter will be. This is given as 10% of the next quarter's sales, which are projected to be 550 units.

Step 1: Calculate the desired ending inventory for the second quarter 10% of 550 units = 0.10 * 550 = 55 units

Next, we need to determine how many units need to be produced in the second quarter. This will be the sum of the units expected to be sold in the second quarter and the desired ending inventory, minus the units already in beginning inventory.

Step 2: Calculate the total units needed in the second quarter Total units needed = Units to be sold + Desired ending inventory - Beginning inventory Total units needed = 500 units + 55 units - 46 units = 509 units

Therefore, 509 units will need to be produced in the second quarter.
