I'm going with B, just like the rest of the gang. Although, I do wonder if the company's recognition of bespoke furniture being more expensive than mass-produced stuff is worth a mention too. Hmm...

This is a tricky one, but I reckon B is the way to go. The company's goals, marketing strategy, and financial planning are the key elements of the MOST analysis.

Ha! I bet Beverly, the CEO, is just testing to see if Paula was actually paying attention in the workshop. Of course, the answer is B.

I'm not sure about this one. The 3D printing technology in d seems like it could be relevant, but I agree that a, b and c are the core elements of the MOST analysis.

But don't you think including d for the 3D printing technology could give them a competitive edge?

Hmm, I think the correct answer is B. The MOST analysis should focus on the company's objectives, plans for marketing and the financial considerations, which are covered in a, b and c.

I think the note about awaiting the final draft of the annual accounts before considering investing in a new range of high-tech chairs should also be included in the analysis. It shows a cautious approach to financial decisions.

I agree with you, Daniela. The note about adopting new 3D printing technologies to gain an advantage in quoting for designs is also important for the analysis.

I think the notes about aiming to supply 10% of the local market and investing in local radio advertising should definitely go into the MOST analysis.
