In assessing the plan’s chances of achieving its aim, it would be most useful to know which of the following?

Whether the advertisements will be created by the manufacturer's current advertising agency

Whether the automaker will be able to cut costs sufficientlyto maintain profit margins even when the discounts are in effect

Whether the automaker's competitors are likely to respond by offering deep discounts on their own products
