injury to the remainder;

          (ii) Cannot reasonably be prevented by a relocation
of the business or by taking steps and adopting procedures that
a reasonably prudent person would take and adopt in preserving
the goodwill;

          (iii) Will not be included in relocation payments
under W.S. 16-7-101 through 16-7-121; and
          (iv) Will not be duplicated in the compensation

consists of the benefits that accrue to a business as a result

and any other circumstances resulting in probable retention of
old or acquisition of new patronage.
