Option (b) is correct

First we will calculate total units to be produced during the year as per below:

Units to be produced = Units required for sale + Units required in ending inventory - Units required in beginning inventory

Units to be produced = 560000 + 71000 - 21000

Units to be produced = 610000

For 610000 units, raw material needed = 610000 * 2 = 1220000 grams

Next, we will calculate the raw material to be purchased during the year as per below:

Raw material to be purchased = Raw material needed during the year + Ending raw material - Beginning raw material

Raw material to be purchased = 1220000 + 41000 - 51000

Raw material to be purchased = 1210000 grams
