    If it is not our Course Notes (which I do not think it is) then I cannot help you unless you type out the whole question.

    The complete question is as follows

    Opening inventory = 20,000 units. Units to be sold = 90,000
    Closing inventory to be 10,000 units.
    How many units must be bought or produced?

    A. 80,000
    B. 100,000
    C. 90,000
    D. 120,000

    sales = opening inventory + purchases – closing inventory

    90,000 = 20,000 + purchases – 10,000

    So purchases = 80,000

    please help me solve this
    A company manufactures and sells one product which requires 8 kg of raw materials in its manufacture. The budgeted data relating to the next period are as follows:

    Units
    Sales 19,000
    Opening inventory of finished goods 4,000
    Closing inventory of finished goods 3,000

    Kg
    Opening inventory of raw materials 50,000
    Closing inventory of raw materials 53,000
    What is the budgeted raw material purchases for next period?

    Production of finished goods = 19.000 + 3,000 – 4,000 = 18,000

    So raw materials needed for production = 18,000 x 8 = 144,000 kg

    Purchases of raw materials = 144,000 + 53,000 – 50,000 = 147,000 kg
