I'm not sure if it's the same as an SBA division, but both sources give
out SBA loans. The Chesapeake Business Finance Corp. only gives out SBA
504 loans. Chevy Chase Bank has options that "include the full range of
SBA (7a) loans, including SBA Express program for loans of $350,000 or
less and SBA 504 program."

Applying the Three Principles

On Tuesday I went to Target to return a pair of sneakers. There I met Christopher at the Customer Support area. I smiled and said hello, making sure to use his name. He smiled back and we chatter for a few moments about the good weather that day. Christopher was very pleasant and my return of the sneakers went smoothly. To be honest though, I'm not sure that I really gained anything from this interaction. The service was good, but no better than I would have expected in any case.

My second attempt was with a serving lady at the UMBC Jow Jing that serves Chinese food. When I came up to the counter I said, "Hello, Joyce. How are you today?" Joyce said nothing and just looked expectantly at me so I went ahead to order my meal.

Enterprise Value

Enterprise value = (No. outstanding shares) x (Cost of indiv. share)

Apple:

• Outstanding shares: 54,215,332
• Share cost: $22
• Enterprise value: 54,215,332 x $22 = $1,192,735,104

Microsoft:

• Outstanding shares: 3,095,000
• Share cost: $22
• Enterprise value: 3,095,000 x $22 = $68,090,000
