As an accountant myself, I can say with certainty that C and D are the last things I'd want to be doing on a cross-functional team. Leave the hiring and pricing to the experts, that's what I say!

I'm torn between B and D. The finance person would definitely be all over the costing, but profit margin seems like more of a strategic decision. C is just plain silly - can you imagine an accountant interviewing candidates?

Haha, the accounting guy trying to recruit and train new staff? Good one! That's definitely not their job. I'm going with C and D as the unlikely activities.

I believe option A is also unlikely, as it involves sales demand which is not typically handled by accounting and finance.

I think A and B are the correct answers. The finance person would definitely be calculating the sales forecast and expected costs. C and D seem more like HR and strategy work.

The answer is clearly C and D. The accounting and finance rep shouldn't be involved in staffing and pricing decisions. That's more of a marketing and operations role.
