The major on-going problem with the city concerns the dustcreated by company trucks traveling to and from the plant outside the City. It has been stated that the paving of all the roads will cost $4.8 million. Approximately half of these are company-owned roads, and since you use them for large trucks and other heavy

Equipment, your preference is to use techniques to reduce the dust (oil spraying, water spraying, coarse gravel) instead of paving. Estimates on the City roads are $2.4 million for paving and $300,000 for maintenance (repair, plowing, and so on). The City would like you to pay all of this: since they are public roads, and used more and more by vacationers in the summer, you insist that this is impossible. The Island queen is a privately owned and operated luxury cruise ship. Their operations department is trying to add Tropical Island in their destination because they hope it will stimulate the demand.  Tropical Island is the most beautiful island among others. They already have 2000 tourists coming every year and adding tourists would be good for the economic growth. As the mayor of the city, I am responsible to deal with the captain of the Island queen. However, the city council is watching me closely because there are some terms they would like me to apply for the upcoming deal with the cruise company. Those terms are such that the cruise boat would not bring more than 300 passengers in a visit one day but three times at the time. Why is that? Too many visitors increase pollution on the island. The tropical Island has another deal with other Island and me as a mayor also has the option to deal with other cruise line. However, Island queen brings the best customers and Tropical Island is the top destination.

PVC became the main problem when Pacific re-opened negotiations in 1984 with Reliant. Unfortunately, Many of POC competitors declared that they would open VCM plants leading to increase supply of the ingredient. The increase supply of the product would bring the price down. Not only is the price going down but also the competition is increasing. All those conditions are forcing POC to lower their prices. Pacific Oil Company’s market share is threatened by the increase of competitors and retaining this customer Is really important for them.
