group will represent President Business.

must create a model. However, they need to wait for the micro-
managers instructions.

President Business.
 The group representing President Business will be given the
picture and instructions of the model to be created. They will
be “paid” $1,000 if they finish in 45 minutes.They must also
consider the cost of the materials and labor (included in the
sheet). For every minute after the deadline, they will be
deducted $50.
