    Explanation:

    As we know thestock policy of the firm is the ending inventory for each month should be the 30 % of the next month's sales

    In the case of february, following this policy:

    Starting inventory: is the same of ending inventory of the previous month: 0,3*2,000 (February's sales) units = 600 units. Ending inventory = 0,3*2,200 (March's sales) units = 660 units

    Also, Ending Inventory (EI) is the result of the sum of Starting Inventory (SI) and February Purchases (P) minus February Sales (S)

    EI = SI+P-S

    We want to know P (units Purchased), so:

    P = EI-SI+S = 660-600+2,000=2060 units
