Answer:
Total= 3,120 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
production budget:
January= 3,000 units
February= 4,200 units
March= 5,000 units
The company wants to end each month with ending finished goods inventory equal to 10% of the next month’s sales.
Beginning inventory= 300 units.
To calculate the production for any month, we need to use the following formula:
Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

Desired ending inventory= (4,200*0.1)= 420
Beginning inventory= (300)
Total= 3,120 units

Answer: b. The duration of its liabilities must equal the duration of its assets
Explanation:
Since the company wants to structure its assets and liabilities such that its equity is unaffected by interest rate risk, then the duration of its liabilities must equal the duration of its assets.
It should be noted that when the duration of its liabilities is shorter than the duration of its assets, the duration gap is positive and when there's a rise in interest rate, the worth of assets will be affected more.
When duration of its liabilities is longer than the duration of its assets, the duration gap is negative and when there's a rise in interest rate, the worth of liabilities will be affected more.
Finally, when the duration of its liabilities is equal the duration of its assets, its equity is unaffected by interest rate risk.
