b) Dates: Each cell in this row shows the date when the activity in that column is completed. Pay attention to the sequence of activities. Remember that you need to think about the corresponding activity at your business partner as you calculate the dates. This will help you calculate the dates more easily. Use the numbering sequence included in the Process Calendar when calculating your dates. This means you start with Activity (1) dated 5/14 and then you move to Activity (2) and calculate the date for that activity and so on. The 2019 Calendar is provided for your convenience.

This mail will reach its destination on Friday, January 4 2019. Shipments take 2 workdays to reach their destination by ground transportation. For example, let's assume that the shipment is sent on Tuesday, January 1= 2019. This shipment will reach its destination on Thursday, January 3x 2019.
