Production budget = 835

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 budget + closing inventory - opening inventory

Inventory at the end of July = 40%*650 = 260

Opening inventory = 75

Sales budget = 650

Production budget = 650 + 260 - 75 = 835

Production budget = 835
