Stubs-R-Us is a local event ticket broker. Last year, the company sold 830,000 tickets with an average commission of $8. Because of the general economic climate, Stubs expects ticket volume to decline by 25 percent. In addition, employees at a local insurance company headquarters accounted for 5 percent of Stubs' volume. The headquarters relocated to another state and all the employees closed their accounts.
