Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To determine how many units of Product X must be purchased from the supplier, we need to first calculate the total units required during the month of August.

Total Units Required = Units to be sold + Desired ending inventory - Beginning inventory 
Total Units Required = 28,000 + 9,000 - 6,000 
Total Units Required = 31,000

Therefore, Stut Corporation must purchase 31,000 - 6,000 = 25,000 units of Product X from the supplier during the month of August.

The correct answer is C, 31,000.
