The purchases of bearings for September are 2640 bearings. Thus, option A is the correct answer.

Explanation:

To meet the production requirement of skateboards for September, the company needs 2400 bearings.

1 skateboard = 4 bearings required

600 skateboards = 4*600 = 2400 bearings required

The Purchases for the month can be determined as follows,

Purchases = Production + Closing Inventory - Opening Inventory

Purchases = 2400 + 440 - 200 = 2640 bearings
