Answer:

Option d ($44,280) is the correct option.

Explanation:

Given:

Maintain monthly inventory,

= 30%

October production,

= 24,600 units

Rate per kg,

= $4

For September month,

The desired ending units will be:

= [tex]Maintain \ monthly \ inventory\times Production \ in \ October[/tex]

= [tex]30 \ percent\times 24600[/tex]

= [tex]7380 \ units[/tex]

The required quantity will be:

= [tex]1.5 \ kg\times Desired \ ending \ units[/tex]

= [tex]1.5 \ kg\times 7380[/tex]

= [tex]11070 \ units[/tex]

hence,

The total price will be:

= [tex]Rate \ per \ kg\times Required \ quantity[/tex]

= [tex]4\times 11070[/tex]

= [tex]44280[/tex] ($)
