Jim Martin owns a men's clothing store in Philadelphia. He was recently offered the position of store manager at Anthony's, a large retail chain store in the area. Working at Anthony's, Jim would earn an annual salary of $50,000. Jim knows that he could sell the net assets of his business for $115,000, but is uncertain whether to sell the business and manage Anthony's or continue operating his own store.
