Answer:
b. Budgeted unit sales - beginning merchandise inventory + desired merchandise ending inventory.
Explanation:
Since, the total purchases in units means the number of units that the company needs to buy after maintaining the necessary closing inventory to meet the budgeted sales. The total units required should therefore be equal to the total of the budgeted sales units and the units for the closing of inventory.
Also, if the opening inventory exists out of the total units required, then that number of merchandise does not need to be purchased as it already exists.
Therefore to reach the required purchase unit we need to add budgeted unit sales and desired merchandise ending inventory and deduct the beginning merchandise inventory.

Solution as mentioned below:
First of all we need to calculate value of the preferred stock by dividing the annual dividend per share from the market required rate.

Explanation:
Assuming the face value of $100 for all bonds (without loss of generality)
If the two year coupon bond is repackaged as a one year zero coupon bond paying $12 after one year and another two year bond paying $112 after 2 years, the price of the two zero coupon bonds are given as
Price of one year Zero coupon bond = 12/1.05 = $11.43 (one year ZCB has YTM of 5%)
Price of two year Zero coupon bond = 112/1.06^2 = $99.68 (two year ZCB has YTM of 6%)
So, one can sell the repackaged bonds at a price = $11.43+ $99.68 = $111.11 or 111.11% of face value
