goods. previous government efforts targeted National Board of small
Scale industries to serve as a spring board in achieving these

Claim Refusal: Can't Evict Tenant
As the owner of Prairie State Business Plaza, you must respond to the request of Myles Jordan, one of the tenants in your two-story office building. Mr. Jordan, a financial planner, implores you to evict a neighboring tenant who plays loud music throughout the day, interfering with Mr. Jordan's conversations with clients and with his concentration. The noisy tenant, Brody Bates, seems to operate an entertainment booking agency and spends long hours in his office. You know that you can't evict Mr. Bates because, as a legal commercial tenant, he is entitled to conduct his business. However, you might consider moving him to a different office. Another possibility is adding soundproofing, an expense that you would prefer to share with Mr. Bates and Mr. Jordan. You might also discuss limiting the time of day for noisemaking. When you searched the Web for information about commercial eviction, you learned that you have very few options.
Your Task. Decide what to do. Then write to Mr. Jordan denying his request, but strive to retain his goodwill. Tell him how you plan to resolve the problem. Address your letter to Mr. Myles Jordan, 2303 Prairie State Blvd., Wichita, KS 67336.

From their research, they narrow their choices to two sets, the Samsung 64-inch plasma with 1080p capability and the Sony 64-inch plasma with 1080p features. The price of the Samsung is $2,305 and the Sony will cost $2,730. They expect to keep the Samsung for 3 years; if they buy the more expensive Sony unit, they will keep the Sony for 4 years.

Richard and Linda estimate that the end-of-year entertainment benefits (i.e., not going to movies or events and watching at home) from the Samsung to be $950 and for the Sony to be $1,035. Both sets can be viewed as quality units and are equally risky purchases. They estimate their opportunity cost to be 9.2%.
