Note!
■ You are NOT advised to buy too many items
because the breakeven point may not be reached.
Although earning profit is an objective of this
task, it is not the main objective. The main
objective is to show mastery of the concepts
discussed in math of buying and selling. Also,
you must try to avoid incurring loss.
Note!
■If there’s a need to promote the
items for reselling prior to the
activity, the groups may do so. Make
sure that all the expenses will be
accounted
