Answer:

26500.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Sales of January, February and March.

Beginning inventory is 12000.

Company´s ratio of inventory to future sales is 45%.

Formula; unit to be produced=
(\textrm{ next month budgeted sales + present months sales budget- beginning inventory})

First step: finding February´s budgeted sales

Next months (February) budgets sales=
(45)/(100) * 30000= 13500.

Now, putting values in the formula to find unit to be produced.

Unit to be produced in January= (
(13500 + 25000 - 12000)= (38500 - 12000)

Unit to be produced in the month of January is 26500.
