MEMORANDUM
To: Filma Williams ,school ofArchitecture
From : Ram S. Johnson ,Physical Plant Operations
Subject: Air-conditioning Installation Costs for East Hall.
Date : 4.4.94
Asyou requested in your memo of March 15, we have studied the costs of installingair conditioning for the seven offices and two studio classrooms in Eest Hall... ...example....`. .
Office and Classroom installation
Estimateswere obtained from three contractors on the costs of covering the offices andclassrooms ... ... 8... ... The work would take about three weeks.
Becausethe central unit would be installed on the roof, some noise problems might occurduring a four-or five-day period......9...... Sheet metal work to build out lestin the classes could be done on weekends , and the overtime labour costs ofabout $1,500 have been included in the estimates.
Arrangements were notmade to do the office space installation on weekends `.. ... 10.....
Additional Installation
Because a larger installation, including amore powerful central unit, would be necessary to handle the halls and stairways,an additional $6 , 000 would be required for the equipment. .....11 ...... Ifthis additional work were delayed until a later time, a new central unit wouldbe required along with changes in the pipe way......12......
Summary
The total job for the building would be about $35, 000 if done at one time. A two-stage installation would cost about $55 ,000.I can get official bids at your request.
Example: A
A As you suggested,we also sought information on the additional cost of air
conditioning inthe entrance halls and stairways.
B All these three were in the $ 20,000 to$25,000 range.
C This later installation would cost about $20,000.
DHowever, class interruption should be minimal.
E In the same way, each ofthese three would take at least one month.
F Therefore ,the total cost wasthis $6 ,000 plus another $5,000.
G Labour costs would be an additional S 5,000,bringing the total cost of the addition to $11 ,000.
H Each facultymember could expect to have workers in the office for about one day.
I Sofaculty members can continue their office work as usual.

Dear Sir orMadam :
We received your letter dated 2nd July, expressing yourdissatisfaction with the present level of your sales in Nigeria. We shall try toexplain as briefly as possible how it is that your competitors are doing so wellso that you may see why it is that we are not. We shall also suggest ways ofimproving the present situation. Our difficulties may be summarized as follows:
1. Your competitors pay for extensive advertising in newspapers andmagazines that reach every corner of Nigeria. We receive no financial help foradvertising and do not receive sufficient commission to pay for itourselves.
2. The company referred to in your letter sent a two-man team ona tour of six provinces in a specially equipped lorry containing the models theywished to publicize. Their agent had arranged displays in the towns they weredue to visit and had announced them in the local press. With such backing fromthe manufacturer ,high sales are inevitable !
3. What sells well in Europedoes not necessarily sell well elsewhere. Your competitors know this and planaccordingly. They give maximum publicity to three or four models that are sureto sell well here. We would suggest that you do the same and concentrate on the98cc Speedy, the 250cc Hunter and the 350cc Hawk.
4. In spite of theexcellent containership service between England and West Africa we are stillhaving to wait for too long for orders to be shipped. Once they have placed anorder, customers are impatient to receive it. Our present commission of 10/00does not allow us to undertake sales tours in other regions. Nigeria covers anarea of over 350 , 000 square miles and our present commission will not standthe expense of such trips.
If you are prepared to increase our commissions,contribute to our travel expenses on the longer journeys and back us withadvertising. We are convinced that we can do as well as your competitors. Welook forward to your comments.
Yours faithfully ,
Williams andCo.

Question 47
(Sample forreference)
How to improve Quality Management System with limited capitals?That is the key to
success. After careful study of IBI Inc 'our maincompetitor ,we find that they spend some money in Customer Service and Venderinspections which are vital to Quality Management. As we know, softwares aredeveloped quickly. Customers and venders know clearly what they need. Therefore,we should develop programmes based on information through Customer Service andVender inspections. Another fact with our attention is that although IBI Inc.'sPlant productivity is not high, they can sell out their new, high-qualitysoftwares quickly as they have a very good Quality Control System. Therefore, weshould adjust the capitals.

Part Three. Questions23-30.
As German broad money supply(M3)now seems set to exceed itstarget for the third year in a row, pressure on the Bundesbank is growing toignore what Bundesbank president, Mr.Hans Tieteyer, calls an "importantintermediate indicator". The Bundesbank itself has been strengthening the handof critics of monetary targeting by lowering interest rates sharply despite verystrong money supply growth in the past six months.
Abandoning M3 now as asignpost for monetary policy would be a grave mistake for at least two reasons.First, there is on convincing evidence so far that the long-run relationshipbetween money supply growth and inflation has ceased to exist. Publiclyavailable independent studies , such as those from the Kiel institute of WorldEconomics , have found some evidence for a short-term disturbance in the demandfor money in the wake of German unification. But they have failed to reject thehypothesis that the long-run demand for money has remained stable.
Second,excessive money supply growth has reflected the partial monetary financing ofgovernment debt ,which ,if continued ,could threaten the purchasing power of theD-Mark.
In recent months Bundesbank representatives and other observershave attempted to explain the rampant growth of money supply on the basis ofportfolio shifts between money and "monetary capital" which means thelonger-term liabilities of the credit institutions. It is excluded fromM3.
In reality, however, expansion of credit has been driving money supplygrowth. At the end of 1993, total bank credit amounted to about DM3, 800bn, M3money to DMI , 900bn, and monetary capital to roughly DMZ , 100bn. With bankcredit rising at an annual rate of 10. 3 per cent between the end of 1991 andthe end of 1993 ,monetary capital would have to grow substantially above thisrate to neutralize the effects of credit growth on M3.
In fact, monetarycapital grew at an annual average rate of only 7. 7 pre cent ,so the annual riseof M3 during this period was 8. 7 per cent.
If the expansion of banklending had been used to finance investment in future productive capacity ,therewould have been little reason to worry.
However, between the second half of1990 and the second half of 1993, real investment in machinery and equipment inunited Germany declined by about 4 per cent. This suggests that most of thecredit was used for housing construction and consumption.
An importantsource of the demand for bank credit was the public sector. Between the end of1989 and mid-1993 ,public debt rose by 52 per cent. By-the end of 1994 ,the risewill be more than 115 percent. The lion's share of this increase was incurred tofinance transfers to east Germany. Since the appetite of German domestic saversfor government bonds was not sufficient to absorb the `new debt, the governmentexported part of it by selling bonds abroad ,and allowed the monetization ofanother part.
