　　the following is a memo from the business manager of valu-mart stores.

　　over 70 percent of the respondents to a recent survey reported that they are required to take more work home with them from the workplace than they were in the past. since valu-mart has not seen impressive sales in its office-supply departments in the past, we should take advantage of this work-at-home trend by increasing at all valu-mart stores the stock of home office machines such as printers, small copy machines, paper shredders, and fax machines. we will also increase stock of office supplies such as paper, pens, and staplers. with these changes, our office-supply departments will become the most profitable component of our stores.

　　the following appeared in a memo from grocery towns regional manager.

　　the new grocery town store in elm city, located near a new residential development, has a high-low pricing policy where average prices are relatively high, but deep discounts are offered on some items in weekly specials. this store has been showing increased profits every month as the nearby residential development gets closer to full capacity. it follows that people prefer a pricing policy where they can find bargains on specific items. since there is a new residential development planned in oak city, we should change the pricing policy at all of our oak city stores from our current everyday low prices policy to a high-low policy. this will increase the profits at all of our stores in oak city.
