Man's culinary likes and dislikes have proved to be less culturally ingrained in society than was once thought and dishes foreign to many cultures have proliferated in these cultures across the globe in the last 100 years. A company marketing packaged goods from Country X has deduced that it will be profitable to market its packaged goods of Country X's cuisine to Country Y.
The company's deduction must rely on all the following assumptions EXCEPT:
A) Country Y will accept packaged goods.
B) Country Y will enjoy the specific foods of country X.
C) There is a way to transfer packaged goods from Country X to Country Y.
D) The company is the first from Country X to export packaged goods to Country Y.
E) The price the citizens of Country Y are willing to pay for the company's packaged goods exceeds the price of research, production, and shipping the company must invest to sell its goods in Country Y.
