Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To determine the number of Zbox to be manufactured in September, we need to take into account the production requirements and inventory levels.

First, let's calculate the total material required:
2 pounds of aluminum * 200,000 units = 400,000 pounds of aluminum
5 pounds of steel * 200,000 units = 1,000,000 pounds of steel

Next, let's determine the total inventory needed:
Beginning inventory + Desired ending inventory + Units to be manufactured = Total inventory
Substituting the given values:
11,000 + 6,000 + Units to be manufactured = 200,000
Units to be manufactured = 183,000

Therefore, the answer is B) 189,000.
