Lisa asks…
Business marketing question help?
I’m trying to answer these questions, and I got A for the first question and D for second question. Is that correct?
Karen Shapiro has been a buyer for Ocean Mist, a large cranberry processor, for several
years. Believing that she knows a great deal about cranberries, their growers, and
processors, she decides to go into business for herself. Karen wants to assume no risks
of spoilage or price fluctuations. She sees herself as simply bringing the growers and
processors together. Her new company would be a
A) sales agent.
B) commission merchant.
C) broker.
D) sales branch.
E) sales office.
Dawn is concerned that there are not enough avid quitters in Centerville to support her
Quilts Unlimited store. Her business adviser suggests that she not limit her promotion to
the Centerville population but also consider outshoppers. This approach is most likely to
work if her store is located in a
A) free-standing location.
B) traditional business district.
C) strip center.
D) community shopping center.
E) regional shopping center.

I don’t know about the first question, but the second, i think would be E (regional shopping center) because a community shopping center would be local and her business adviser suggests that she not limit her promotion to the Centerville population
Nancy asks…
My husband is “stripping” and “refinishing” an entertainment center… What all does that entail?
He found this really cool old entertainment center made of real wood (not particle board!) and it’s got a neat design, but the finish is peeling and scratched up. He got it for $8 at an estate sale, so really it’s no harm no foul if the project doesn’t work out… He knows what he’s doing but if he asks for my help, well…. Let me just say that I am useless… I’d kind of like to know what all will be going on so that if he does need help, or maybe if I just wanted to spend some extra time with him, I could hang around him while he’s working and maybe help out (and do more than just bringing him beer and holding tools)…
So could someone please tell me what needs to be done to strip and refinish a piece of furniture? Is there sanding? I’m useless when it comes to power tools or ultra heavy lifting (I can lift my share, but I don’t have his statuesque muscles), but I sure as heck can sand something… What all needs to be done, and how can I help without getting in the way?
HoustonCheapRetailSpace answers:
Hi,
A chemical stripper like Zip Strip gets brushed on, after a few minutes it will bubble the finish. You can use steel wool pads & brass wire brush to clean detailed areas. Brass will not scratch the wood but normal wire brushes will scratch. Also use a putty knife to scrape the gunk off. You may need a 2nd application to get residual areas of finish off. After thats done, wipe the whole piece with lacquer thinner to neutralize any stripper in the wood. At this point you can either stain/poly or just poly the wood. 3 coats are required.
Hope this helps.
Thomas asks…
Question about papillon markings?
I am looking to get a little papillon puppy to add to the family. The pap we have now is a tri color, beautiful markings. He has black around his eyes with the orange color over his eyes, in ears, and also on cheeks. he has a white strip down the center of his forehead. This is a very typical look. I found a papillon that I think is soo cute but I was curious about her markings. She is also a tri color but her face is completly covered. Do these make unattractive adults? Is this normal??
Here is a link: http://www.puppyfind.com/view_photo/?breed_id=80&list_id=40353l152l&img_id=5em811ru9my&back=%2Ffor_sale%2F%3Fbreed_id%3D80%26country%3D%26state%3D%26page%3D11%26order_by%3Dbirth_date%26back%3D%252Fsearch%252F%253Fsubmit%253D1%2526str%253Dpapillon%2526page%253D1&sid=46d6b118a1515fe267b769e86abb2dac
Thanks for any information you can give!

A white blaze on the face is preferred, but its not considered a fault. Its a very cute puppy, and i have never seen a pap with no white on its face…very unusual. I’m sure it will make a cute adult.

I do not live in Florida but have friends there . I live in the South West and the people in my state also made a mistake and elected a self serving Republican Gov.
HoustonCheapRetailSpace answers:
Because he spent around 80 million of his own money on his campaign and he needs a return on his investment. Not to mention he was CEO of the most corrupt health care companies in US history. He made record profits by scamming sick people. Now he is putting his skills to use scamming Florida’s sick economy. He is the ideal Republican.
Paul asks…
Just rezoned my property to C-2 Commerical. Got a question!?
What is the average your property value goes up once this happens? I live along a strip of 5 homes…Each of which is roughly about 1 acre. I have a Meijer being bulit across the street along with a so called “Town Center” with other shops as well. All of my neighbors have jumped on the oppurtunity to rezone. I am in a good way ( i think) because the neighbors on either side of me are already going through an agent and have their homes up for sale as Commercial Property. I guess i have another question in addition to the the very beginning regarding the estimated value of my home now that it is Commercial. Do i have a good bargaining chip seeing as how i am smack dab in the middle? i would think that a prospective buyer would be looking for a 3-4 acre lot as opposed to two 1 acre lots surrounding a house (MINE). Anyone with any thoughts? Just want to be sure i am going to get as close to top dollar as possible. Thanks!
HoustonCheapRetailSpace answers:
There is no average.
There is the idea of ‘highest and best use’. What could be built there? What would it take to build the structures? Subtract all the costs and that starts to provide an idea of what the land could be worth.
Note that a developer is taking a risk when they build. Hence they need to make a profit and be compensated for all the risks they might be taking.
Expect that you need to leave enough profit on the table for the next guy if you want someone to buy the property. Before or after constructions if you choose to do the project yourself.
It is not about ‘top’ dollar as much as making a reasonable profit while moving forward. In the extreme you could do the whole project yourself and take all the risks. That will provide the largest profit but the greatest risk.
