    This gentrification began with the onset of the redevelopment of the outlying areas surrounding its borders. Wall Street bankers, now finding themselves to be in a new class of wealthy, flocked to this exclusive area. Once again, Brooklyn Heights was more financially out of reach for lower income residents than ever before. For a family who once dreamed of living close to New York City and not out in the suburbs, Brooklyn Heights was no longer an option, even for many two income families. With the onslaught of the very wealthy and the accompanying increase in property values, local “mom and pop” stores which were mainstays for the locals over the course of many years were unable to afford their rent. Big businesses, such as The Gap, Barnes and Noble and CVS moved in to cater to the masses in the surrounding newly-developed neighborhoods now containing high-rise apartment buildings and scores of new residents. This type of gentrification seems to be contradictory to the desires of the class of people who inhabit the exclusive blocks of the historical district that one knows as Brooklyn Heights (Davidson, 2012).…

    As one of a Build a Better System’s lead analysts on the Hoosier Burger project, you have spent significant time discussing the current and future needs of the restaurant with Bob and Thelma. In one of these conversations, Bob and Thelma mentioned that they were in the process of purchasing the empty lot next to Hoosier Burger. In the future, they would like to expand the business to include a drive- through, build a larger seating area in the restaurant, include more items on the Hoosier Burger menu, and provide delivery service to the customers. After several discussions and much thought, the decision was made to implement the drive-through and delivery service and wait on the activities requiring physical expansion. Implementing the drive-through service will require only minor physical alterations to the west side of the Hoosier Burger building. Many of Hoosier Burger’s…

    One of the major economic areas in north central Wisconsin is Wausau. The city is home of the most popular technical college. The love of coffee and ice cream brings the owner to open a Dunkin Donuts/Baskin Robbins near the college. Commercial space is available to build a facility, and the spot is right. The competition is a few fast food chains and two bakeries. The city has no Starbucks, but does have a Dairy Queen that is at the other side of town. The market structure is a monopolistic competition. The area has a few large assorted sellers, products are differentiated, and there is easy entry and exit. The products are differentiated by the brand name; product attributes, and has the perfect environment. The owner will look at the elasticity of demand, profit maximizing, break-even point, total revenue test, marginal cost and revenue, barriers to entry, pricing and nonpricing strategies, and product differentiation. The owner needs to take into consideration the business cycle of the current economy, how to plan during this time, the effect of credit markets, international economic conditions and the effect they can have, and other conditions that may apply.…

    Bill had mentioned that Tommy told him that buying the property made good accounting sense but he was not sure whether Tommy wanted to get out of business. So, according to me Tommy wants Dunkin' Donuts to pay a heavy price and suffer for all the "so-called" atrocities which Dunkin' Donuts has done to him such as making DSM visit his store at midnight and conduct CSG, no communication for 3 years, misuse of advertising money and rebates for own benefit and not for the franchise owners. Tommy knows that despite maintaining poor standards for Dunkin' Donuts he is achieving a steady business and Dunkin' Donuts would not want to lose the opportunity of maintaining the Randolph store. So, he wants to make…

    As of right now, I currently live in the suburbs with my mom and younger sister. In the suburban area that I live in consist of a majority of African American people, and a small group of Caucasian and Latino people. The area is a very nice neighborhood, and there is also a middle school that is around the corner where I attended as a kid. The neighborhood now is very quiet, and the other residents are very nice people as well. There is one problem in the area that no one has done anything about is the shortage of affordable housing. For example, down the street there are still some empty homes that no has moved in to and it’s been that way for quite some time now. A couple of months ago there was some thieves who came to the subdivision and…

    1) My first review is on Elsdon which is a website published by Porirua City Council. This website is part of the Council’s general information to the general public about Elsdon. They wrote this piece of literature so that people could get a general overview of Elsdon, and they wrote it for general knowledge of the area. The key information for this piece of literature is that houses in Elsdon are usually snapped up by first time buyers and new families. Porirua City Council (2012) states that the housing prices in Elsdon range from $160,000 to $280,000, the median sale price is $237,000 and the more expensive homes in Elsdon range up to $300,000. The houses being moderately inexpensive produce higher profits for home owners that are renting their properties out. Porirua City Council (2012) states that Elsdon houses are quintessentially Kiwi boxy weatherboard three bedroom houses, they are mostly similar in construction, but are all in different condition and colour. They all reflect the designs of the houses largely built in the 1950’s and 1960’s. Many have had modifications, with granny flats, garages, and sleep outs added on to the property. Porirua City Council (2012) states that the iwi’s “tightly held” homes, are generally passed down from generation to generation, or sold privately to other Ngati Toa descendants, often without the use of real estate agents. (Porirua City Council, 2012). This piece of literature was not written with quality verified information, there was no proof stating what they said was nothing more than general information and their opinion. It informs the reader of the housing prices, the housing structure and how the Iwi deal with selling their own properties.…

    Starting a new business can be complicated and confusing—even for experienced entrepreneurs and business personnel. We are still learning and working through the maze of financial requirements and the multitude of other hurdles that must be met to make a business operational is a formidable challenge, especially for those with minimal prior business experience is quite difficult. We all have had meals in a variety of restaurants. The level of service provided, location, range of menu prices, and selection all add unique dimensions to a restaurant. Restaurants typically have limited menus, serve food prepared quickly for eat-in or takeout dining, and often offer drive-up service at a relatively inexpensive price. Restaurants play an especially important role in many small communities. In addition to providing a place to obtain food service, these establishments can be a focal point to facilitate an exchange of ideas and an opportunity to build social capital. Consequently, having a restaurant on Main Street benefits both the owner and the community. Taking into consideration of…
