Answer:

A delegation.

 

Explanation:

Delegation is the process by which a person transfers the performance of certain duties to other parties. Delegation is usually done to increase efficiency.

For example, if a supervisor has 3 urgent tasks to be performed, he can delegate 2 of them to other staff while focusing on 1 of the tasks. This will ensure deadlines are met and work is well done.

In the given instance Edmond delegates to Ferdie because of a conflicting schedules. This will ensure the closing of the sale is done while Edmond meets other obligations.
