In additional to this, many car dealerships has the accurate documents and history of their vehicles, therefore it is far more reliable to purchase car from a car dealership. Recently, Rezek’s (2012) article states that over the past three to four years, the Australian used car businesses have experienced vital changes with its trading trends. The price of a vehicle is to a large extent determined by supply and demand. Whilst this information is true for the price of a vehicle, the profit of vehicles is to some extent determined by the buying. With the arrival of private sellers, both buying and selling has extremely become more challenging (Rezek, 2012).

This is because it provides greater opportunities to increase its customer base and promote its product. It can provide a cost effective form of marketing and means to access more customers.

When looking at different countries and industries, the employees can range from 50 in Australia till 500 employees. Other factors that determine whether a business is small or not are net profits, assets or sales. There are many benefits of owning a small business but then again there are disadvantages as well. The business can be initiated with a small initial capital and can be advertised in any manner. The person is her or her own boss and there are no
With such a small population density compared to the size of the country, Australia has always had a heavy reliance on the automotive industry to connect people and places. It’s clear that Australians are passionate about their automobiles with over 60 brands readily available for purchase, which is a lot more than in the United States. While most live in and around the capital cities and have abundant access to public transport, people still value owning their own vehicle for work and leisure purposes and its benefits are greatly increased in rural areas where it is the only form of
We live in a world where the society is run by men and where men have more power than women because of the system of “Patriarchy” where men were the domain and the leader of the family. A system where males hold first in power and position through roles of leadership and the idea of men represented the world’s most populated and centered people in the world. During the time, women would be maids or servants and women would have to obey and listen to men’s orders. This caused the stereotypical life of women having the image of being “weak” while men being “strong”. In my opinion, I feel that this should change because the image that is causing a barrier around us because of who we are and how we look. While reading the Memoirs of Geisha, I feel

Small business with a higher revenue will be taxed more, and this will go back into the community in funds for schools, emergency departments and such.
Small businesses are mighty minnows, reflecting the competitive spirit that a market economy needs for efficiency; they provide an outlet for entrepreneurial talents, a wider range of consumer goods and services, a check to monopoly inefficiency a source of innovation, and a seedbed for new industries; they allow an economy to be more adaptable to structural change through continuous initiatives embodying new technologies, skills, processes, or products (Ibielski 1997, p. 1).
Small businesses are independently owned, for profit businesses which employees no more than 500 employees and are not dominant in its competitive area. Small Businesses are critical for the US economy because more than 99 percent of businesses in the US fall under the small business category (Farrell, Hirt & Farrell, 2009). This is clearly why small businesses are important for the US economy because of its percentage make up for the business industry.

Therefore, if people are buying new vehicles they are likely disposing of their old vehicles. Whether it is selling the car for a fraction of the original cost or selling the car for scraps, the consumer wants to make some sort of profit. Enter AutoTrader, one of Canada’s first online websites that allows consumers to swap, sell and buy used vehicles. AutoTrader is the only large multinational company that satisfies this niche market. SHOP.CA has already built a strong brand name and the development of an automotive department should be very successful. Used vehicles can generate massive profits with the sale of few units so it would only take a few sales for the automotive department to be considered a success and make a lasting impact on the company. SHOP.CA is slowly but surely expanding their departments to attract new consumers so developing an automotive department can be expected in the near
Thanks in part to microeconomic reforms in the 1980s, Australia has experienced two decades of continuous growth, low unemployment, controlled inflation, very low public debt, and a strong and stable financial system (Washington, DC: Central Intelligence Agency, 2013-2014).

“The man who seeks revenge digs two graves.” Ken Kesey wrote this quote in his book Sometimes a Great Notion. This quote embodies the result of Laertes revenge. Laertes was the son of Polonius, who died by Hamlets hand. He was told this by Claudius and started his quest. By setting out to kill Hamlet, he sealed his own fate. Revenge is quite literally a killer, however, it affects both parties of revenge. Revenge is strenuous, it is all consuming. In the case of Laertes, he was so consumed by his hatred that he did not realise he was being used by Claudius. Only in proximity and death did he snap out of his rage. Laertes's form of justice is in a rage-filled death for Hamlet, he completes his quest but dies, his last moments give him time to reflect and expose claudius; these events impact the ending of the play and the outcome of the characters.
The importance of small and Micro Enterprises (SMEs) in the economy of any country cannot be overlooked. In fact for nearly 15 years, most researchers dealing with economic planning have highlighted the significance of these enterprises stating that they are a key player in realizing any country’s economic goals. As such, governments as well as other organizations with interest in development are laying plans and strategies to promote the establishment of Small and Micro Enterprises. This is seen as a move to ensure that there is full participation of SMEs in the country’s economy. The Small and Micro Enterprises have been known to contribute to a large extend as a source of innovation, entrepreneurial skills as well as source of employment. For example, statistics in 25countries of the European Union show that 99% of the jobs provided to its citizens come from the micro, small and medium-sized enterprises. Rowe (2008) points out that the British economy relies heavily on the participation of SMEs. On the other hand, 99% of the UK’s economy is composed of small and micro enterprises.
Ground water is the biggest source of drinking water available to human population around the world and is rapidly being polluted because of industrialization and increasing demands of agriculture around the world. A set of simple experiments were done to find out what kind of changes do some of these contaminants cause in ground water. Samples of tap water and bottled water were also analyzed for safety. Chemicals like oil, vinegar and soap cause turbidity, odor and color change in water samples. Tap water is much safer to drink than bottled water because it contains less contamination than bottles water.
