Topic: The following was written as a part of an application for a small business loan by a group of developers in the city of Monroe.

"A jazz music club in Monroe would be a tremendously profitable enterprise. Currently, the nearest jazz club is 65 miles away; thus, our proposed club, the C Note, would have the local market all to itself. Plus, jazz is extremely popular in Monroe: over 100,000 people attended Monroe's jazz festival last summer, several well-known jazz musicians live in Monroe, and the highest-rated radio program in Monroe is 'Jazz Nightly,' which airs every weeknight. Finally, a nationwide study indicates that the typical jazz fan spends close to $1,000 per year on jazz entertainment. It is clear that the C Note cannot help but make money."

Answer:

The city is named Monroe in Connecticut, the United States with a population of about 20000 approx. As per the census of 2020. The city has the only jazz music club in the city, and it is the only operating club all over the city.

The author claims that a new jazz music club in Monroe city would be an enormously benefitted and profitable enterprise. It is more profitable because of the only music club available in the city and currently, the nearest jazz club is 65 miles away (104.6 kilometers) from the city. So, the offer of a new jazz club in Monroe, Connecticut, US would have the local market all to itself. In Monroe, jazz is really very exceptionally famous over the city. More than 100,000 people have visited Monroe city and attended the jazz festival last summer, there were as many as well-known jazz musicians available live in the festival, and the most famous radio show named ‘jazz nightly’ streaming in the festival, at last, the show normally streams every weeknight at 7:00 pm. The Study conducted nationwide and it estimates that an average jazz fan spends around $1000 (I.e., Around ₹72849)

A new jazz music club will have a great opportunity in the city there is no other club in a radius of 65 miles. The people of Monroe are fond of jazz music and they will surely spend a lot, so there is a good opportunity for the new club.

Also,check:

First thing is that the new club named ‘C note’ would have marketed for itself in the city, but the author did not think about the reason why there was no other club present in Monroe. There is a possibility of closure of clubs due to lesser number of customers. It's possible that previously someone had opened the club but due to less outcome or fewer customers, due to that he was not able to earn enough to retain his business over there. There is also the possibility of low prices, better customer satisfaction at the club which is 65 miles away from the city. Moreover, the club has high goodwill and reputation so that it has retained its customers.

Secondly, the author made a hasty generalization. He simply equated the very fact that because over 100000 people attended Monroe’s festival and therefore the high-rated radio program is “Jazz Nightly”, C Note will automatically make more money. The author has nowhere mentioned the proportion of the native people that attended Monroe’s festival last summer. There is a possibility that there were more visitors who attended the festival. There are chances that the people’s salary in Monroe is low, thus, people probably don't have money to spend within the jazz club. Even if they like jazz music, they like taking note of the radio instead of getting to a jazz club. Hence, these reasons don't guarantee the success of C Note in Monroe.

The reason that a lot of well-known jazz musicians sleep in Monroe also doesn't hold any ground. It doesn't make any relationship with the C Note. Because of its good living conditions and good lifestyle, they could be living there.

Finally, the author initiated his argument with the support of a nationwide study that indicates that an average jazz fan spends around $1,000 (I.e., Around ₹72849) per year on jazz entertainment, and on festivals, there is much more spending by customers. Even so, if a jazz Fan spends $1,000 (I.e., Around ₹72849) per year on jazz entertainment, he will spend money on going to a jazz club. He may buy jazz CDs, DVDs, and ascertain live jazz plays.

Information is not reliable and Perhaps cost is more than its income thus the organization is not profitable. In addition to this, perhaps these people come from outside just for attending the jazz festival in Monroe, after that they leave the city so that we can also say that there may be few people who like to listen to jazz music in Monroe city.

Therefore, the argument lacks thorough analysis and reliability to support the fact. The author should have investigated the particular number of people going to the jazz club. It would have strengthened his argument. The people also attended outside of the city of Monroe.

So, we can conclude that the writer fails to establish a proper relationship between opening a jazz club with the support of a nationwide study. The proofs presented are really very weak. For a stronger defense for the argument, the writer needs to establish the evidence related to the enterprise with a radio program and a nationwide study of a jazz festival in Monroe. without providing more proof the writer's reason is unconvinced.
