    Midterm Project, Part III Assignment Instructions: You will use two items to complete Part III. First, go back and review the company that you created for the Module 2 Discussion Board (ATTACHED MIDTERM PART 1). Think strategically about the company, its products and services related to cost.

Once you have completed these two activities, respond to the following questions, in the space provided below. You should use source materials and citations / references (in APA format) to help support your answers. Generally, 2-5 sources (or more) should be used. Remember to double your answers as well.
