In Chapter 10, practice A-8, number 8 there is the following cue:

Avez-vous sorti assez d'exemplaires?

I am confused as to why avez-vous is used instead of Etes-vous.  Exercise 9 uses Etes-vous (Etes-vous sorti tard?).  Is this correct, and if so can you please explain the use of the verb avoir with sortir?

Merci d'avance.

My "501 French Verbs" says of the verb sortir, "this verb is conjugated with avoir when it has a direct object."  It gives the examples "Elle a sorti son mouchoir" BUT "Elle est sortie hier soir."
