Explanation:

In the given question:

Production in quarter 1

= sales in quarter 1 + 30% sales of quarter 2 - opening

= 50,000 + 30% 60,000 - 4,000

= 50,000 + 18,000 - 4,000 = 64,000

Production in quarter 2

= Sales in quarter 2 + 30% sales in quarter 3 - opening

= 60,000 + 30% 40,000 - 18,000

= 60,000 + 12,000 - 18,000 = 54,000

Production in quarter 3

= Sales in quarter 3 + 30% sales in quarter 4 - opening

= 40,000 + 30% 90,000 - 12,000

= 40,000 + 27,000 - 12,000 = 55,000

Production in quarter 4

= Sales in quarter 4 - opening inventory

= 90,000 - 27,000 = 63,000
