Your firm has been asked to determine the highest and best use of a center city lot. You will determine how tall a building to erect on the site using incremental analysis techniques. All relevant data is given in the problem. Once again, we expect this to be a one page summary with separate paragraphs addressing the four points listed above. This is not a letter. It is the first page of a report, so make it brief and to the point. Your name goes on the back not the front.

These assignments are to be one page in length and should convey the following information. Each paragraph accomplishes a specific task as follows :

1.) Orient the reader to what you have done and why

2.) Describe the approach to the problem

3.) Give results of your analysis ( not the analysis )

4.) Draw conclusions and recommend action
