    Production = 1,240 units

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Sales:

    February = 1,250

    March = 1,200

    Desired ending finished goods inventory is equal to 20 percent of the next month's sales.

    To determine the production required for February, we need to use the following formula:

    Production = sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

    Production = 1,250 + (1,200*0.2) - (1,250*0.2)

    Production = 1,240 units
