    Total production = 8,000 units

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Forecast sales for the year = 48,000 units

    Desired ending inventory = 3 months of sales

    Beginning inventory = 8,000 units.

    First, we need to determine the number of units sold each month:

    Units sold for a month = 48,000/12 = 4,000 units

    Now, we can determine the production for each month:

    Sales a month = 4,000

    Desired ending inventory = 4,000*3 = 12,000

    Beginning inventory = (8,000)

    Total production = 8,000 units
