    240,750 units

    Explanation:

    For computing the production level, first we have to determine the required inventory at the end of the year which is shown below:

    Required inventory = Estimated sales : total number of months in a year

    = 237,000 units : 12 months

    = 19,750 units

    Now the total units would be

    = 237,000 units + 19,750 units

    = 256,750 units

    And the inventory at the beginning of the period is $16,000 units

    So, the production level would be

    = 256,750 units - 16,000 units

    = 240,750 units
