Ben London owns and operates Fantastic Footage, a film-editing company in Los Angeles that does contract work mostly for production companies in Hollywood. Not long ago, a local landscaping business completed nearly $8,500 worth of work around London's offices. While the initial bid seemed a little high for the amount of work that was actually done, there is no question that the work completed was of high quality, and London finally feels comfortable inviting potential clients to meet him at his office to discuss possible deals. However, because of an apparent oversight, the landscaping contractor never submitted a bill. It's been more than 15 months since the completion of the project, and London has come to conclude that the contractor somehow lost track of the project. He is thinking about calling the company to ask for a final invoice so that he can settle up, but business has been really slow over the last year or so, and it hasn't been easy to pay all of the bills as it is.…

The Sleepy Edge is a 40-unit, no-frills operation in the less scenic part of a major Queensland resort town. The owner, Mr. Smith, firmly believes that there is a need for his style of low-cost family accommodation amid the luxury and beauty of the area. His rooms are large, family-style rooms (there is no television, for example). Although there is plenty of room for future expansion, the grounds are fairly bare with a bit of landscaping, but mostly grass. Mr. Smith can serve breakfast to the rooms and provides tea-making facilities. There are now a lot of good restaurants and take-aways in the area. Mr.. Smith’s prices are less than half of what similar motels charge and only a fraction of what the big five-star properties are charging. And, really, he isn’t all that far away from the beach, shops and other attractions. The problem is occupancy. He has some regulars who come every holiday period (and have been doing so for the four years he has owned the property). Overall, occupancy…
