Suppose you've been hired to create a business plan for the Student Union, which wants to create a student-run coffee shop that's open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Survey results, however, suggest there'll be virtually no demand 2-6 a.m. daily. How would you address this issue in your business plan? O Discuss survey results in your market analysis and offer alternative options O Create a business plan based on what the Student Union's request (ie, 24/7) O Don't address this issue because survey results could be wrong O Don't address this issue because demand will pick up with advertising

Q1:A/ The Office Supplies Company offers two types of pens, the first type has high specifications, while the second type has normal specifications. The expected profit from selling each unit of the first type is half a dollar, and from selling each unit of the second type is a quarter of a dollar.
