The correct answer is A.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

To guard against stockouts, the company requires that 25% of the next month's sales.

Budgeted sales of Product:

August = 50,000

September = 80,000

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

Production for August = expected sales + ending inventory - beginning inventory

Production budget:

Sales = 50,000

Ending incentory = (80,000*0.25) = 20,000

Beginning inventory = (50,000*0.25) = (12,500)

Total = 57,500 units
