Respuesta :

Answer:

Production budget for First quarter= 16,500 units

Explanation:

The production budgeted for a particular period is the expected units to be produced after adjusting the sales budget figures for opening and closing inventories.

Production = Sales volume + closing inventory - opening inventory

Closing inventory = 20% × second quarter sales

                           = 20% × 20,000 = 4,000 units

Production budget for the first quarter

=17,000 + 4000 -4500

= 16,500 units
