    Production Budget

    The production budget is calculated by using the following formula.

    Units

    Sales 650

    +Desired Ending Inventory (30 % of 650) 195

    Less Opening Inventory 25

    Production Budget 820

    The desired ending inventory is calculated by finding the 30 % of 650 units which is given in the question.

    Desired Ending Inventory = 30 % of Sales = 30 % of 650 = 195

    Also the opening inventory is given for July = 25 units
