Mayberry's Mayor, in consultation with the trustees of Mayberry's Village Investment Fund, has decided that the fund needs to become more aggressive in its investment objectives to generate funds for village renovations like a paved road, a new school and an activity center for kids. He discussed these requirements with the plan manager, Otis, and asked him to suggest a suitable risk profile and investment instruments to achieve the objectives within a year. Barney, a businessman from a neighboring town, is trying to decide if he should invest his excess capital in setting up businesses in Mayberry or another town, Februberry. These businesses promise to generate about 35 new jobs at various levels and stimulate consumer spending in the town in which they are set up. Barney wants to be sure that the businesses are set up in areas that have high growth promise. So he calls up Otis to find out about the Mayor's plans for the next two years for Mayberry's development. Otis sets up a meeting with Barney and outlines the proposed renovation projects. Otis does his best to convince Barney that Mayberry is the right place for Barney's businesses.
