    A) 308

    Explanation:

    The Ending inventory is calculated by deduction the sold unit from the sum of production for the year and beginning inventory for the year.

    We calculate the production for the period using ending inventory formula.

    Ending Inventory = Beginning Inventory + Production for the period - Sale in the period

    As we know the ending inventory of prior month is the opening inventory of current month and ending inventory is 15% of next period sale.

    Beginning Inventory = 320 x 15% = 48 units

    Ending inventory = 240 x 15% = 36 units

    Sale in April = 320 units

    placing Value in the formula

    36 units = 48 units + production in April - 320 units

    36 units = production in April - 272 units

    Production in April = 272 units + 36 units = 308 units
