Scenario: You are a project manager tasked with securing a new software license for your team. Two companies offer the same software, but at different prices:
Task:
Company A: * Annual discount = $5000 * 10/100 = $500 * Actual cost = $5000 - $500 = $4500 Company B: * Actual cost = $4500 (no additional discounts, but free trial period). Analysis: Both companies offer the same price after discounts. However, Company B offers a free 3-month trial period, which allows you to test the software before committing to a full year. This free trial period could be valuable in evaluating the software's suitability and functionality for your team's needs. Recommendation: Company B's offer is more favorable, as the free trial period provides a risk-free opportunity to evaluate the software before making a full-year commitment.
