Some companies pay record royalties on a percentage (8% to 16%) of the suggested list retail price (SLRP) less a packaging cost, generally 15% to 25% of the SLRP. Others base royalties on the wholesale price to distributors. For a CD with an SLRP of $16.98, a common packaging deduction of 25% is $4.25 and the amount paid to the artist will be calculated as a percentage of $12.73. Thus, at a 10% royalty, artists will receive $1.27; at a 14% royalty rate, $1.78. Record labels pay composers and publishers mechanical royalties.

I believe that it is an opportune time to start a business like Chagadama Christian Bookstore since the retail services industry in Maryland is currently worth $350 million; in Salisbury, the industry is estimated to be worth $20 million.

So as to ensure the success of the new location and the business I will hire a marketing manager who will be in charge of all the marketing of the two locations.
Abstract Regional trucking company has the opportunity to increase their business with a new customer if they have the capacity to run 120 trailers. Currently they have only 100 trailers and would need to purchase or lease an additional 20 trailers.
