    The answer is E) $1050000

    Explanation:

    We have opening stock of 4000 units. We know that we require to have 6000 units stock on hand at the end of the month. Budgeted sales are 12000 units.

    If we come up with a formula Purchases + opening inventory - sales = 6000 units we can determine the amount we need to purchase to satisfy the requirement of having 6000 units on hand.

    Purchases = 6000 + 12000 - 4000

    =14000

    14000 x 75 = $1050000

    Therefore the answer is E. $1050 000
