There are no errors from line 25 to 62. This class compiles with no errors.

I am getting two errors, and I am at a loss. I would appreciate any help that someone can give me to point me in the correct direction.

Error #1 Line 10: java.lang.Number is abstract; cannot be instantiated.

Error #2 Line 12: cannot find symbol, symbol class units, location class inventory.Product (for both instances of "units").

Both errors are self explanatory. Read the error message. You can't instantiate (i.e. create an Object of) an abstract class type. Read the java tutorials about abstract classes for more information on why you can't do that. For the "Units" error message it simply can't locate any class definition for Units. So import it.
