Selecting a Small Business: Personal Assistant Service
If you read online news articles on a number of web sites from Yahoo! to Google, you will find a recurring theme. There are books, magazine articles, and television specials related to the problem. There are more things to do in a day than there are hours to do them. Every choice that a person makes whether it is to watch television, read a book, wash their car, or go to the gym has an opportunity cost. There is something that person has to sacrifice doing to complete the task they are working on. Some people are either so busy or so wealthy that they find the solution to this problem in hiring a full time employee as their own personal assistance. Many business people have a personal assistant provided through their company during their workday. Some people have arrangements with another person they employee, such as a nanny or maid, to do other tasks for them that fall into the realm of personal assistant. However, there are many people who do not have the need for a full time personal assistant or the money to pay for one that could use a little extra help from time to time. This may be on a one time basis, while planning a wedding or party, or something a little more regular such as every Thursday when things pile up before the weekend. With more and more families having two parents working and children having more and more activities and events to keep up with, many people would value having a little extra help from time to time.
The business that is being proposed would use this need as an opportunity. It would solve the problem of more tasks to do than there is time to do it. Since there is an opportunity cost and trade of for each choice, it would be up to potential customers whether they would rather pay someone to assist them with certain tasks or try to do it all themselves. The company will advertise itself not as a cleaning service or a babysitting company but as a lifestyle management service. The employees will be background checked, bonded, and insured. They will be available for an array of tasks to assist people including grocery shopping, clothing shopping, picking up and dropping of children from school and extracurricular activities, balancing checkbooks and paying bills, helping with small cooking or cleaning, dropping off and picking up dry cleaning, scheduling appointments, organizing and planning events, and even packing or planning to move. Any errands or tasks that fall into household management would be acceptable. There would be a per hour fee for each client and it would be up to the client how often they want help whether it is one hour per week or more or ten hours for one time only.

The price of oil has an effect on almost every aspect of life. This is because petroleum and petroleum products are linked to almost every consumable good and service through packaging, manufacturing, and transportation. This results in an ever changing supply and demand curve for these products.
Graph one shows an examples of the quantity demanded falling, as the quantity demanded fell, so did the price. The amount supplied shifted in response to this until an equilibrium was reached. The supply dropped because the demand dropped. There was no need to supply at a higher rate when decreasing production would stop the drop in price resulting in a new equilibrium.
Graph two shows that in the economy of China, the quantity supplied rose as the quantity demanded and the price shifted up. As there was a higher demand for the product, production increased to meet that demand and the price rose to help the market reach a new equilibrium.
Graph three shows the effect of an oil embargo. As the quantity supplied is lowered significantly, the price and demand drop as a result. This is a result of people demanding less at a higher price.
Graph four shows an example of the economy of Germany. This graph depicts the quantity supplied rising dramatically and the quantity demanded shifts down as a result. The price drops due to the supply being higher than the demand.
Graph five demonstrates what would happen if OPEC increases oil production. The quantity supplied shift up because of the increase in production, therefore the price drops significantly because the supply is greater than the demand until the market reaches a new equilibrium.
