// The following appeared in a memo from the new vice president of Sartorian, a

company that manufactures men's clothing.

"Five years ago, at a time when we had difficulties in obtaining reliable supplies
of high quality wool fabric, we discontinued production of our alpaca overcoat. Now
that we have a new fabric supplier, we should resume production. This coat should
sell very well: since we have not offered an alpaca overcoat for five years and
since our major competitor no longer makes an alpaca overcoat, there will be pent-
up customer demand. Also, since the price of most types of clothing has increased
in each of the past five years, customers should be willing to pay significantly
higher prices for alpaca overcoats than they did five years ago, and our company
profits will increase."

Write a response in which you discuss what specific evidence is needed to evaluate
the argument and explain how the evidence would weaken or strengthen the
argument.//

The author of the argument concludes that company's profit will increase by
resuming the production of overcoat,which was stopped from last five
years.According to the author their major competitor no longer makes an alpaca
overcoat,and there will be pent up ustomer demand and the price of most types of
clothing has increased in past 5 years,customers will pay significantly higher
prices for alpaca ovecoats and it will help them to increse company's profit.At
first glance argument looks logical,however,in order to fully evaluate this
argument we need additional evidence.The argument could end up being weaker than it
seems,or it might be actually quite valid.In order to determine that we need to
know more evidence to analyze this.

First piece of evidence we need to know is how much research on this study has
conducted by this new vice president of sartorian company,because it can be
possible that this new vice president did not know the actual reasons of
discontinuing production what actual difficulties they was faced to get supplies
of high quality wool fabric and from which region or city the suppliers belongs
from.It is possible that before five years there is fashion of wearing alpaca
overcoat and might be reduced that trend of wearing coat in public so it can be
possible that for this reason sartorian company that manufactures mens clothing
discontinued production of this overcoat.

Another piece of evidence we need to know about new fabric supplier,whether this
new fabric supplier provide wool fabric that is in high quality or not because in
given argument the author states that company discontinued production of overcoat
because of difficulties in obtaining high quality woolen,it might be possible that
company is looking for only high quality woolen fabric and thats why it necessary
to know about the quality of this woolen fabric from new supplier.

In addition,the author states that this coat will sell very well because company
have not offered an alpaca overcoat for five years and since company's major
competitor no longer makes an alpaca overcoat,there will be incresing demand from
customers for this coat.it can be possible that their major competitior uses
another fabric that is attracting more customers and they reduced the use of woolen
fabric to make this overcoat,or Fashion nowadays changes over the time so it might
be possible that the fashion of wearing woolen fabric coat has been reduced in
these last 5 years thats why they are concentrating on other fabric which currently
goes on trending.If author fails to give this evidence then his argument that
states sell of alpaca overcoat will increased will be weaken
