Mittal and Singh Ltd.specializes in creating and manufacturing board games for young adults. Each game has a unique game board to accompany the other pieces of the game. The company is at the final development stage of a new game called "Inverted World" based on a recent fictional book and subsequent film of the same name. Since it is important that the game be on the shelves quickly to capitalize on the advertising and promotion done by the movie studio for the film, the manager of Mittal and Singh is considering an offer from another game manufacturer to supply the game boards for $11.00 per board. This is a common practice in the game industry as the life of gamesis very short and there is a need to act quickly to get the product to market before demand shifts.
