    43,000 units

    Explanation:

    The calculation of purchased units is shown below:-

    Units to be Purchased (September) = Sales + (Ending Inventory for September) - (Opening Inventory for September)

    = 38,000 + (25% * 58,000) - (25% * 38,000)

    = 38,000 + 14,500 - 9,500

    = 52,500 - 9,500

    = 43,000 units

    Therefore for computing the units to be purchased in September we simply applied the above formula.

    43,000 units

    Explanation:

    Given that,

    Projected sales in August = 48,000

    Projected sales in September = 38,000

    Projected sales in October = 58,000

    Ending inventory is the 25% of the next month's sales.

    The units purchased in the month of September includes the amount of sales in this month and the amount of ending inventory for this month but the amount of beginning inventory excludes from this calculation of purchases.

    Ending inventory for September:

    = 25% of the next month's sales

    = 0.25 * Sales in October

    = 0.25 * 58,000

    = 14,500

    Here, the opening inventory for September is the amount of ending inventory for August.

    Opening inventory for September:

    = 0.25 * Sales in September

    = 0.25 * 38,000

    = 9,500

    Units to be purchased:

    = Sales in September + Ending inventory for September - Opening inventory for September

    = 38,000 units + 14,500 - 9,500

    = 43,000 units
