b.  The minimum wage is raised in your area, and you must pay your employees more.  (Assume you have employees for this scenario, even if that was not part of your initial plan.)

 

c.  A firm that offers the same good or service moves into town.

 

d.  Your customers expect the price of your good or service to fall in the future.
