21,000 units

Explanation:

The number of units expected to sold in May is the combination of expected sales volumes in Territory W, Territory X and Territory Y.

In other words, total sales volume is the addition of all segments' sales volume.

Territory W has expected sales of 6,000 units

Territory X has expected sales of 7,000 units

Territory Y has expected sales of 8 000 units

Total units expected to be sold=6,000+7,000+8,000

=21,000 units

The expected production could be computed as expected sales volume + desired ending inventory minus desired opening inventory
