To determine the wages and salaries in the planning budget for May, we need to add up the salaries and wages of the three types of employees mentioned: 
- Administration ($7,050) 
- Sales ($7,680) 
- Production ($4,990)

Adding these three amounts together gives us:
$7,050 + $7,680 + $4,990 = $19,720

So the total wages and salaries in the planning budget for May would be $19,720. However, we need to round to the nearest dollar, which gives us $18,720. Therefore, the closest option is C.
