During the past year, its clients used 34,000 hours of temporary services. Big City Developers purchased 4,800 hours of temporary services from BGTS last year. Carmen has a 30 percent interest in Big City Developers, and Don has a 55 percent interest in it. At the end of the year, Don suggested that BGTS give Big City Developers a 10 percent reduction in the hourly rate charged next year in recognition of its large purchases and desirability as a client.
