Question

Cassandra was planning a new product launch. She knew that the art department was ready to work on the promotional pieces now, but they couldn't start until the marketing strategy group established the price point and the purchasing department obtained the paper needed to design the promotional piece. Establishing price points would take about a week and was dependent on manufacturing getting the costs to the marketing strategy group. This was expected a week from today. The purchasing group indicated the paper could be obtained locally the same day it was requested. Assuming things go as planned and based on this information, which of the following tasks could be as much as a week late without jeopardizing the deadline for the entire project?A. the art department taking a month-long vacation
B. marketing strategy's determination of the price point
C. manufacturing's determination of the costs
D. obtaining the paper

Answer 1

Answer: The correct answer is "D. obtaining the paper".

Explanation: Obtaining the paper could take a week without jeopardizing the deadlines set for the project since manufacturing must first take the costs to the marketing strategy group so that it could set the price.
