The correct answer is C.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The company estimated the budgeted sales for the four quarters of the current year to be:

Q1 = 200,000 bottles

Q2 = 150,000 bottles

Q3 = 250,000 bottles

Q4 = 400,000 bottles

The management feels that an ending inventory of 10% of the subsequent quarter's sales is appropriate.

Ending inventory Q2 = 250,000*0.10 = 25,000 bottles
