    497,000 units

    Explanation:

    Total production:

    = Budgeted production + Desired ending inventory

    = (100,000 * 5) + [ (9,000 * 5) + 42,000]

    = 500,000 + (45,000 + 42,000)

    = 500,000 + 87,000

    = 587,000

    Units to be purchased:

    = Total production - Beginning inventory

    = 587,000 - [ (10,000 * 5) + 40,000]

    = 587,000 - (50,000 + 40,000)

    = 587,000 - 90,000

    = 497,000

    Therefore, the raw materials should the company plan to purchase during March is 497,000 units.
