Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The production budget is calculated based on the sales budget, the desired beginning inventory, and the desired ending inventory. It outlines the number of units that a company needs to produce in order to meet the expected demand and maintain the desired inventory levels. The production budget does not detail the required direct labor hours (choice A) or the required raw materials purchases (choice B), although these factors may be taken into account when calculating the production budget. The production budget summarizes the costs of producing the required units for the budget period, but this is not its primary function (choice D).
