Hi Logician,
In the sentence you are referring to only 'affordable' makes sense. It means the price of the package has to be appropriate to the company's budget. Please, don't confuse 'actual' with 'current' or 'up-to-date'.

'financial actuals package' does not make any sense in English. _________________ Cheers m' dears! |

As you are an authority of English let me ask you a preliminary question. What’s the restriction of the word Actuals? Please don’t consult a dictionary but ask a finance people? Then we will see with other questions. |

Would you care to rephrase your question so that it makes sense in English? You seem to be using your own made-up language. _________________ Cheers m' dears! |
