Option (B) is correct.

Explanation:

Sales in July = 10,000 units

Sales in August = 10,000 + 10% of 10,000

= 10,000 + 1,000

= 11,000 units

Sales in September = 11,000 + 10% of 11,000

= 11,000 + 1,100

= 12,100 units

Total units will be sold:

= July sales + August sales + September sales

= 10,000 + 11,000 + 12,100

= 33,100 units

Purchase for the quarter ended September 30:

= Total units will be sold - Ending inventory of June + Ending inventory of September

= 33,100 - 1,100 + 950

= 32,950 units
