4. Be sure to support your answer. (Your excel sheet should be attached as additional support)

5. PART 2: SPECIAL-ORDER PRICING FOR A SNOWIE EVENT

   Assume that Main Street Kent, an organization that hosts outdoor events in downtown Kent, approaches you about bringing your Snowie kiosk to the Octoberfest in Kent for one day in October. Main Street Kent will provide the cups for the event that are branded with the Kent Octoberfest logo, so you will not have any cup costs for this event. Main Street Kent will also not be charging you a registration fee for this event. Main Street Kent will allow you to advertise your business in its mailings for two months at no cost and asks you to cut your Snowie price for this one event to US$3.00 in exchange for the free advertising. You have no other event scheduled for this one day in October, and you would work the event by yourself (you will not pay an employee for this one-day event). You anticipate that you will sell 200 Snowies on this one day at Octoberfest. Do you accept Main Street Kents special price offer? Why or why not? Support your answer.
