b. 65,000 units

Explanation:

The computation of the budgeted production in April month is shown below:

= Sale units + ending inventory units - beginning inventory units

where,

Sale units is 60,000 units

Ending inventory units = 75,000 units * 40% = 30,000 units

Beginning inventory units = 25,000 units

Now put these units to the above formula

So, the units would equal to

= 60,000 units + 30,000 units - 25,000 units

= 65,000 units
