    Answer: Option (C) is correct.

    Explanation:

    Given that,

    Sales units for July = 5,000

    Sales units for august = 5,700

    Sales units for September = 5,560

    Desired ending inventory for august = 25% of sales in September

    = 25% * 5,560

    = 1390 Units

    Desired ending inventory for July = 25% of sales in august

    = 25% * 5,700

    = 1425 Units

    The Desired ending inventory for July is beginning inventory for august.

    Therefore,

    Beginning inventory for august = 1425 Units

    So,

    Budgeted production units for August:

    = Sales units for august + Desired ending inventory for august - Beginning inventory for august

    = (5,700 + 1390 - 1425) units

    = 5665 units
