Keggler’s Supply is a merchandiser of three different products. The  company’s February 28 inventories are footwear, 19,500 units; sports  equipment, 78,500 units; and apparel, 49,500 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 28% of the  expected unit sales for the following month. Expected sales in units for  March, April, May, and June follow.
