    Units to be Produced 1 quarter: 11000

    Units to be Produced 2 quarter: 14250

    Explanation:

    The first 6 months of 2017 includes first and second quater. So, we have to get 2 production budget.

    The formula to calculate production needs is:

    Units to be Produced = Expected Unit Sales + Units in Desired Ending Inventory (EI) - Units in Beginning Inventory (BI)

    First quarter

    Expected Unit Sales 10000

    EI = 3500

    BI=2500 (25% of quarter 4)

    Units to be Produced 1 quarter: 13500

    Second quarter

    Expected Unit Sales 14000

    EI = 3750

    BI = 3500 (25% of quarter 1)

    Units to be Produced 2 quarter: 14250
