Question #: 40
Topic #: 6

Freddie's Sandwich Shop makes sandwiches to order, using the finest locally sourced ingredients. Freddie gets his bread from Country Bakes and the fillings for his sandwiches from Belle View Farms.

However, Freddie is worried about the poor wheat harvest and the effect this might have on the cost of his bread. He has also heard that UK Systems Limited has lost a valuable contract to an overseas competitor

Okay, Freddie's got his bread and fillings covered, but what about that wheat harvest? It's got to be a major input. I'm going with A, even if it means I can't have a Wholegrain sandwich for lunch.

I'm not sure, I think it could also be B) Country Bakes and UK Systems Limited, as Country Bakes supplies the bread for the sandwiches and UK Systems Limited is now a client of Freddie's.

This question is making me hungrier than a sandwich-loving computer programmer! Anyway, I think the correct answer is A. The farms and concerns about the harvest seem like the key inputs.

I agree with Jettie, because Belle View Farms provides the fillings for Freddie's sandwiches and concerns about the poor wheat harvest would affect the cost of his bread.

Whoa, this is tricky! I'm not sure if the UK Systems Limited contract is an input or an output. But the bread and filling suppliers have to be inputs, right? I'll go with A.
