authentic information.
Cost Cost refers to an amount which is invested to
execute different activities to gain something.
To conduct the present research, the researcher
has estimated 100 euro as total cost which is
allocated in different research activities such as
acquiring resources to collect primary and
secondary data etc. The cost incurred to
conduct this research is 100 euro. There are
numerous activities which need to be
conducted like, preparing catalogue, promotion
5

etc. for such activities cost is required in
sufficient amount.
Time It is another aspect which plays an important
role in conducting an appropriate research
work. The research has forecasted 7 weeks for
completion of research work Collection and
analysing of data requires time to execute thus
it is important for researcher to utilise time in
an optimum manner (Dittmar, 2015). To
complete the research work total ten weeks will
be required. Within this duration of time period
firm is able to complete the task effectively and
efficiently.
Quality The researcher need to focus on maintaining
quality of research work which help them in
drawing a valid conclusion at the end of
research. In present, researcher have
undertaken qualitative method under which
primary data has been collected using
questionnaire that is further filled by selected
respondents. The research work should be of
high quality so that reader is able to grab the
