Federal Express is a company that specializes in rapid overnight delivery of high-priority
packages. The first company of its type, Federal Express was founded by the youthful Fred Smith in
1971, when he was only 28 years old. Smith had actually developed the idea for the rapid delivery

service in a term paper for an economics class when he was a student at Yale University. The term
paper reputedly received a less-than stellar grade because of the infeasibility of the project that Smith
had outline. The model that Smith proposed had never been tried; it was a model that was efficient to
operate but at the same time was very difficult to institute.
Smith achieved efficiency in his model by designing a system that was separate from the
passenger system and could, therefore, focus on how to deliver packages most efficiently. His strategy
was to own his own planes so that the could create his own schedules and to ship all packages through
the hub city of Memphis, a set-up which resembles the spokes on the wheel of a bicycle. With this
combination of his own planes and hub set-up, he could get packages anywhere in the United States
overnight.
What made Smith’s idea difficult to institute was the fact that the entire system had to be created
before the company could begin operations. He needed a fleet of aircraft to collect packages from
airports every night and deliver them to Memphis, where they were immediately sorted and flown out to
their new destinations; he needed a fleet of trucks to deliver packages to and from the various airports:
he needed facilities and trained staff all in place to handle the operation. Smith had a $4 million
inheritance from his father, and he managed to raise an additional $91 million dollars from venture
capitalists to get the company operating.
When Federal Express began service in 1973 in 25 cities, the company was not an immediate
success did come within a relatively short period of time. The company lost $29 million in the first 26
months of operations. However, the tide was to turn relatively quickly. By late 1976, Federal Express
was carrying an average of 19,000 packages per night and had made a profit of $3.6 million.
54. The most appropriate title for this passage is:
a. The Problems and Frustrations of a Business Student.
b. The Importance of Business Studies.
c. The Capitalization of Federal Express.
d. The Implementation of a Successful Business.
55. What is stated in the passage about Smith’s term paper?
a. Smith submitted it through a delivery service.
b. It was written by a student of Smith’s.
c. Its grade was mediocre.

d. The professor though it had great potential.
