Beano's Ice Cream Shop
特里·史密斯准备购买比诺冰淇淋特许经营权，因资金有限需寻找合伙人，现正评估巴尼·哈里斯提出的合伙方案，面临接受、还价或另寻合伙人的选择。
Terry Smith has spent the last six months preparing to purchase a Beano's Ice Cream franchise. Because his personal assets were limited, Smith needed a partner who could finance the purchase. After Smith found a prospective partner, Barney Harris, they negotiated a purchase price with Beano's. Then, Harris gave Smith a partnership proposal. As the case opens, Smith is evaluating the partnership proposal. His three choices are: to accept Barney Harris's partnership proposal, to make a counter proposal, or to try to find a new partner.
