The Production budget is calculated by adding sales to the desired ending inventory and subtracting the beginning inventory from it. Each month's ending inventory is next month's beginning inventory.

The Ending Inventory is calculated by taking 30% of the next months' sales.

Ending Inventory  for April =  4900*30%=1470

Ending Inventory  for May =  7000*30%=2100

Ending Inventory  for April =  2800*30%=840
