    Sir I am solving questions for finding profit under absorption costing there is a statement given the level of inventory at the beginning of the year was 1000 units and the company maintained its inventory of finished products at the same level at the end of each four quarters
    Sir what does this statement mean
    Sir is this related to closing or opening stock

    It means that the level of inventory stayed the same, and for that to happen the production units and the sales units must be the same.

    If they produce 33,000 units in the period and sell 33,950 units, then the inventory must have fallen by the difference of 950 units over the period.

    This is not using a formula but is testing understanding.
