Terrific Toys Company manufactures and sells children's skateboards. Each skateboard requires four bearings. For September, Terrific Toys Company has budgeted skateboard sales of 530 skateboards, while 570 skateboards are scheduled to be produced. Terrific Toys Company will begin September with 220 bearings in its beginning inventory. How many bearings should Terrific Toys Company purchase for September?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To calculate the total number of bearings required for the production of 570 skateboards, we need to multiply the number of skateboards by the number of bearings per skateboard:

570 skateboards x 4 bearings per skateboard = 2,280 bearings

However, there are already 220 bearings in the beginning inventory, so we only need to purchase:

2,280 total bearings needed - 220 beginning inventory = 2,060 bearings to purchase

Therefore, the best choice is D: 2,060.
