    The total cost of Jurislon to be purchased in August is: $7,293,260

    Explanation:

    We will calculate the kilograms needed to fulfil the sales and the desired ending inventory.

    Then we will subtract the beginning balance, to know how many kilograms do we need to purchase for the requirement.

    Last we multiply by the unit cost to get the cost in dollars

    August 23,400 units x 10.5 = 245,700

    ending 20% september

    20% x 22,100 x 10.5 = 46,410

    Total requirement 292,110

    beginning (11,600)

    total purchase in kilograms 280,510

    280,510 x $26 = $7,293,260 total cost for August
