b.54,000 units
c. 62,000 units
d. none of these answers is correct.

Units will need to be purchased in February are a. 52,000 units

Explanation:

Sales for January are budgeted at 50,000 units, and the company expects sales to increase 4% each month.

Sales of February are budgeted = 50,000 + 50,000 x 4% = 52,000 units

Units will need to be purchased in February = Ending inventory in February + Units Sold of February - Beginning inventory in February.

The company's policy is to keep ending inventory each month at 10,000 units.

Therefore,

Ending inventory in February = Beginning inventory in February = Ending inventory in January = 10,000 units

Units will need to be purchased in February = 10,000 + 52,000 - 10,000 = 52,000 units
