Caitlin Armstrong · Answer 1

B) 200,000 preferred shares and 100,000 common shares

Explanation:

Each package includes 2 preferred stocks and the possibility of buying a common stock at a very cheap price, so we can assume that investors will purchase the common stock.

If 100,000 packages are sold:

100,000 x 2 preferred stocks per package = 200,000 preferred stocks 100,000 x 1 common stock per package = 100,000 common stocks
