William Wright worked as a manager for a small bakery called Hot Crossed Buns in Blue Bell, PA.A pandemic caused the bakery to close temporarily for business based on a state government order.However, the bakery was notified that it could reopen in 10 days if all employees used a face mask.William was told by the owner of the bakery to purchase face masks for employees so the bakery could reopen.The owner specifically told William to purchase the items at the best price available since the closure of the bakery was causing the business to lose a lot of money.

William found available cloth face masks that could be supplied in time for the reopening at two manufacturers for $3.00 per mask.William than got a call from his sister, Wendy, who told him her employer, Custom Clothing, that typically made shirts for the little league, had transitioned to manufacturing protective gear for businesses. Wendy told William, Custom Clothing would sell him the required number of masks for $2.50 per mask since he waslocal, and William could pick up the masks from the factory(there was no shipping costs).The masks would be the same quality as the masks from the other suppliers.

Wendy also said if William wanted, she could mark the invoice for $2.75 per mask.In that way, Hot Crossed Buns would save money, but she and her brother could split the difference in price between the $2.50 per mask (real cost) and the $2.75 per mask invoiced cost.That is, Wendy and William can make a bit of money "on the side."

Answer the following questions about this scenario based on the information:
