Final answer:
The question about Hardy, Inc.’s beginning inventory for September cannot be answered with the data provided. Beginning inventory is normally calculated from previous month's figures and expected sales, none of which are given in the question.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question does not provide sufficient data to determine the beginning inventory for September for Hardy, Inc. To calculate the beginning inventory, we would typically need information on the ending inventory of the previous month, sales data for the previous month, or production/purchase plans for the current month. Without such information, it is impossible to choose between the options provided (A. 940 units, B. 720 units, C. 1,640 units, D. 520 units).
When managing inventory levels, businesses typically use the previous month’s ending inventory as the next month’s beginning inventory, and adjust this figure based on expected sales and production or purchase quantities. Since the provided data is irrelevant to the problem, we are unable to answer the student's specific question about Hardy, Inc.'s beginning inventory for September.
