bought a number of devices including computer systems, a laser printer, a switch, and some software. The
system to be designed will help Mr Kacy to collect information on the daily changes on the prices of goods in
the market. At the end of every week, a simulation on the data collected by the system help My Kacy to
identify and buy the goods that will generate more profits in the next days.
