Calculation of Budgeted Production for next month:

Budgeted Production can be calculated using the following formula:

Budgeted Production = Budgeted Sales + Budgeted ending inventory - Budgeted Beginning Inventory

We are given that:

Budgeted Sales = 4800 units

Budgeted ending inventory = 10 percent of unit sales for each month = 4800*10% = 480 units

Budgeted Beginning Inventory = 300 Units

Now we can calculate:

Budgeted Production = Budgeted Sales + Budgeted ending inventory - Budgeted Beginning Inventory

= 4800+480-300

=4,980 Units

So, the firm should produce 4,980 units for the coming month.
