    The correct answer is C.

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Beginning inventory = 20,000

    Production:

    Quarter 1 = 200,000

    Quarter 2 = 150,000

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

    To calculate the production budget for the first quarter, we need to use the following formula:

    Production budget = sales for the period + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

    Production budget:

    Sales = 200,000

    Desired ending inventory = (150,000*0.1) = 15,000

    Beginning inventory = (20,000)

    Production = 195,000 units
