Answer:

Production for Quarter 3 = $220500

so correct option is 220,500

Explanation:

given data

estimate sale 1st quarter = 180,000 units

sale increase = 18,000 units each quarter

ending inventory  = 25%

solution

we get here Quarter 2 Sales that is get as

Quarter 2 sale = 180000 + 18000

Quarter 2 sale = 198000  units

and

now we get Quarter 3 Sales that will be as

Quarter 3 Sales = 198000 + 18000

Quarter 3 Sales = 216000  units

so now  Production for Quarter 3  is as

Production for Quarter 3 = Sales + Closing Inventory - Opening Inventory ..................(1)

put here value and we get

Production for Quarter 3 = 216000 + 25% of  216000 - 25 % of 198000

Production for Quarter 3  = 216,000 + 54,000 - 49,500

Production for Quarter 3 = $220500

so correct option is 220,500
