Chapter 4

GROUP A

Corporate Operation officer allocated $80,000 in the budget for computers

COO expects confirm or change of proposed budget in two days from Department Manager

Due to the employee job descriptions the computer systems required imposes the purchase of 23 new computers

Only 19 can be upgraded to satisfy computer specifications

Due to Moore’s Law computers continue to become faster and cheaper

Computer Companies sell inexpensive standard packages with higher requirements than established

Thus, the Proposed Budget of $80,000 is sufficient
