    Production = 24,000 units

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    The company policy is to have 20% of the next month's sales in inventory at the end of each month.

    Sales:

    September = 20,000

    October = 40,000

    To determine the number of units to be produced, we need to use the following formula:

    Production = sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

    Production = 20,000 + (40,000*0.2) - (20,000*0.2)

    Production = 24,000 units
