To calculate the production for April, we need to consider the sales for April and the desired ending inventory for April. The desired ending inventory for April is 40% of May's sales, which is 0.4 * 75,000 = 30,000 units. The beginning inventory for April is 25,000 units. Therefore, the production for April should be: Sales for April (60,000) + Desired ending inventory (30,000) - Beginning inventory (25,000) = 65,000 units.
