PART FOUR
Unigroup
Unigroup, the hotel chain, has recently announced that it will close its headquarters in London as part of its attempt to reduce costs ahead of its break-up. The group, currently fighting off a takeover bid from Rockford Investments, is keen to show shareholders it can save ￡100m as part of its defense. It is also selling hotels in London and several more in the US. Unigroup has started a program there for making staff redundant and is considering further job cuts across Europe. Unigroup spent Friday putting forward its arguments to shareholders. It is understood that the shareholders have asked the company to postpone the meeting at which they will vote on Rockford's offer. This will also give Rockford the chance to reconsider the package it is offering, parts of which were criticized by its own shareholders. Rockford has maintained that Unigroup shareholders have given it a friendly reception, but refused to comment on its bid, currently worth 648p per share. The battle increased last Friday when Unigroup management complained to the Takeover Board about negative comments a Rockford representative had made about the company at a press conference earlier that day. Rockford later apologized for what its representative had said.

PART FIVE Prices determine how resources are to be used. They are also the means by which products and services that are in limited supply are rationed among buyers. The price system of the United States is a very complex network composed of the prices of all the products bought and sold in the economy as well as those of a myriad of services, including labor, professional transportation, and public utility services. The interrelationships of all these prices make up the "system" of prices. The price of any particular product or service is linked to a broad, complicated system of prices in which everything seems to depend more or less upon everything else. If one were to ask randomly selected individuals to define "price", many would reply that price is an amount of money paid by the buyer to the seller of a product of service or, in other words, that price is the money value of a product of service as agreed upon in a market transaction. This definition is,of course,valid as far as it goes. For a complete understanding of a price in any particular transaction, much more than the amount of money involved must be known. Both the buyer and the seller should be familiar with not only the money amount, but with the amount and quality of the product or service to be exchanged, the time and place at which the exchange will take place and payment will be made, the form of money to be used, the credit terms and discounts that supply to the transaction, guarantees on the product or service, delivery terms, return privileges, and other factors. In other words, both buyer and seller should be fully aware of all the factors that comprise the total "package" being exchanged for the asked—for the amount of money in order that they may evaluate a given price.
