Consider the following description of an enterprise.
An auction Web site has items for sale that are provided by sellers. Each item has an opening price, a description, and ending time. Customers submit bids. The highest earliest bid submitted before the ending time is the winning bid and the item is sold to the bidder. Each seller must pay 5% of the winning bid. The auction company wants to be able to analyze the sales behavior of its customers and sellers and so must keep track of all bids and sales.
