    Option B, 793,750 is the correct option

    Explanation:

    October November December

    Production (210,000,175,000,110,000) * 5 1,050,000 875,000 550,000

    Opening inventory - (218,750) (137,500)

    Closing inventory (25% of next production) 218,750 137,500 -

    November purchases of raw material 793,750

    October closing inventory = 25%*875,000

    November closing inventory=25%**550,000

    = 137,500.00

    The quantity of raw materials to be purchased in November is 793,750

    The rationale is that opening inventory of raw materials is already in stock hence should be deducted from planned production volume
