Title: Competency Assessment: (CU2 M1) Functional Areas of Business
Course: SkillsCom BA 101 16.0 > Section: Credit Unit 2 Module 1

Write a formal block format business letter to Ken with some advice about starting his business. Refer to the Purdue Owl (Webpage) site for examples and proper formatting instructions.

In your letter, be sure to include a description of the five functional areas of business and describe a specific activity his restaurant will need to perform in each area.

Then think about where Ken should locate his business in terms of supply and demand. Given the nature of his business, do you think he'd be better off in a location with a lot of potential customers, but also a lot of competition, or do you think it would be better to have few potential customers in the area, but very little competition? Explain your reasoning.

Make sure you format your letter correctly using block format.

Address your letter to: Ken Sato, 575 Manducare St., Itamae OR 97555
