Answer:

B) 11,249.

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the number of electric stapler sales budgeted for Marchis shown below:

On Jan

= 10,000 units × 1.04

= 10,400 units

On feb

= 10,400 units × 1.04

= 10,816 units

On march

= 10,816 units × 1.04

= 11,248.64 units

Hence, the correct option is B. 11,249

therefore all other options are wrong

We simply multiplied the unit sales with the growth rate
