    Purchases = $7,200 million

    Explanation:

    Purchases are estimated using the following formula. It shows that cost of goods less beginning inventory plus ending inventory is equal to purchases.

    Cost of goods sold is the amount of finished goods that is sold to the customer

    Purchases = Cost of goods sold - Inventory at beginning + Ending inventory

    Purchases = 6,900 million - 7,500 million + 7,800 million

    Purchases = $7,200 million
