    The correct answer is A.

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    A company estimates its sales at 200,000 units in the first quarter and that sales will increase by 20,000 units each quarter over the year.

    They have, and desire, a 25% ending inventory of finished goods.

    Production required for the third quarter:

    Sales = 200,000 + 40,000 = 240,000

    Ending inventory desired = 260,000*0.25 = 65,000

    Beginning inventory = (240,000*0.25) = (60,000)

    Total = 245,000
