The question is about the plan that needs to be implemented.

Demand for quarter 1 is 1300 and 200 units is in beginning stock so a production of 1100 units will be required.

In the 2nd quarter a production of 1400 units, 1500 units will be produced in the 3rd quarter and 1300 units will need to be produced in the 4th quarter in order to meet the demand.

The cost will be incurred accordingly and then the plan with the lowest cost will be selected in order to increase profitability.

The lowest cost in incurred in Plan A and therefore Plan A will be chosen and implemented.
