The industry association estimates that 40% of mowers are repaired by similar service companies and that the average owner spends $150 per mower on maintenance each year. The census and local chamber of commerce data indicate that there are 35,000 mowers in the county. Seven other competitors exist within a 25 mile radius of the proposed business location. Based on a consumer survey, Mr. Fixits owners believe that they can capture 8% of the market in the first year of operation.

Based on this data, address the following requirements:
