 QUESTION 6: ENTREPRENEURSHIP

 6.1    Read the case study below and answer the questions that follow.

        Angie’s grandmother taught her the basics of sewing when she was in Grade
        8. Over the past few years, she has sewn some garments using basic
        patterns. When the coronavirus outbreak started in South Africa, she decided
        to make herself a face mask. She did some research on the internet and
        created two designs. The one design is where the elastic is worn over the
        ears and for the other design the elastic goes behind the head. She had old
        pillow slips to use for the fabric that could be cut up and they were a good
        quality tight weave cotton. She tested the masks out to check that the fit was
        comfortable, and that the fabric was breathable. Her friend asked her to make
        her a mask for her. Soon she realised with the rising pandemic that there
        was a need for masks. By selling masks it would help contribute towards the
        family income. She was confident in herself and promoted her masks on
        social media. She was overwhelmed with people wanting to place orders.

        She wanted her masks to be reusable, washable, limit the spread of COVID-
        19 as well as protect people from dust and help those who suffer from
        sinuses. She must cover her production costs, but the sale price must be
        affordable. Once the old pillow slips were recycled into masks, she would
        use some of her profit to buy good quality cotton. She decided to help her
