You are to assume the role of the owner of City Plowing, a small business that provides snow removal services. A new employee wants you to explain why non-contract pricing increases after a blizzard or ice storm.
City Plowing provides residents and businesses in the community with snow removal services. You have three large trucks equipped with snowplows that can move large loads of snow and mechanisms to drop salt and sand on icy roads and slick driveways to prevent buildup.
The new employee has asked why City Plowing’s rates increase to almost double during and immediately following a blizzard or ice storm for customers not on contract.
