    The budgeted production in February is 4280 units.

    Explanation:

    The ending inventory for January would be 10% of January's budgeted sales. Thus, the ending inventory will be = 4200 * 0.1 = 420 units

    The budgeted production in February will be enough to meet the desired ending inventory for February and the remaining sales for the month of February after selling the opening inventory for February.

    Desired ending inventory February = 5000 * 0.1 = 500 units

    The budgeted production in February is,

    Production = Closing Inventory + Sales - Opening inventory

    Production = 500 + 4200 - 420 = 4280 units
