Solution

To calculate the number of units to be produced, we need to consider the sales, beginning inventory, and targeted ending inventory.

First, we need to calculate the total units needed for the year. This is the sum of the projected sales and the targeted ending inventory.

20,000 units (sales) + 5,000 units (targeted ending inventory) = 25,000 units

Then, we subtract the beginning inventory from the total units needed to find out how many units need to be produced.

25,000 units (total units needed) - 1,000 units (beginning inventory) = 24,000 units

So, the company should produce 24,000 units.

Therefore, the correct answer is d. 24,000.
