    Production budget = 5,775 units

    Explanation:

    The production budgeted for a particular period is the expected units to be produced after adjusting the sales budget figures for opening and closing inventories.

    Production budget = sales budget + closing inventory - opening inventory

    Closing inventory = 25% * Second Quarter 2 sales

    Closing Inventory = 25% * 6,600 = 1650

    Opening inventory = 25% * Year 2020 First Quarter sales

    = 25% * 5,500 = 1,375

    Production budget = 5,500 + 1650 - 1375 = 5775 units

    Production budget = 5,775 units
