Sartorian's
overall profitability is a function of revenue and expenses relating to all of Sartorian's products.
Since the memo provides no evidence that Sartorian will continue to be profitable in other
respects, I simply cannot take the vice president's argument seriously.
In sum, the argument is unpersuasive as it stands. To bolster it the vice president must
provide assurances that the new supplier will be a reliable and affordable alpaca supplier, and
that consumers will be able and willing to pay whatever prices Sartorian requires in order to
mm a profit from selling its alpaca coats. To better assess the argument I would need to know
whether consumers are demanding alpaca coats anymore, and if so whether new competitors
entering the alpaca coat market would thwart Sartorian's efforts to profit from any pent-up
demand for these coats. I would also need detailed financial projections for Sartorian, to
determine the likelihood that it will continue to be profitable overall, aside from its predicted
160
profitability from alpaca coat sales.
Argument 20
The following appeared in a memo from the president of a company that builds and sells new
homes in Steel City.
"Over the past five years, the population of Steel City has increased by more than 20 percent,
and family incomes in Steel City have risen much faster than the national average. Nationwide,
sales of houses priced above $150,000 have increased more than have sales of lower-priced
houses. Such data indicate that we should make changes in our business to increase
company profits. First, we should build fewer low-priced houses than we did last year and
focus instead on building houses designed to sell at above $150,000. Second, we should hire
additional workers so that we can build a larger total number of houses than we did last year."
In this memo the president of a new-home construction firm in Steel City concludes that the
firm can increase its profits by focusing on building expensive homes, priced above $150,000,
rather than lower-priced homes, and by hiring additional workers to increase the number of
homes the firm can build. To support this recommendation the president cites the fact that
Steel City's population has increased by more than 20% over the last five years and that family
income in Steel City is rising much faster than the nationwide average. The president also
points out that nationwide sales of homes priced above $150,000 are rising faster than sales of
lower-priced homes. In several respects, this evidence provides little credible support for the
president's recommendation.
