Assignment 2- "Doody Calls Y’all" Total Possible Points: 100 Mel and Sean decided to form a business to clean up dog poop from yards on a monthly subscription basis. They called their business “Doody Calls.” They agreed to split the costs and profits 50/50. Sean transferred her van to the business, and they repainted it with the business name on all sides. The cost of all other start up equipment was shared evenly by Sean and Mel. They had no written agreement governing their business arrangement. The business took off and soon they had more customers than the two could handle. They approached Joe, an old high school friend, and in lieu of wages, he agreed to handle one third of the Doody Calls customers in exchange for 10% of the profits. Joe had no responsibility to contribute to the costs of the business should expenses exceed revenues. While scooping poop, Sean accidentally let loose a customer’s rare pedigree dog and it was never recovered. The customer demanded that Sean reimburse him for the value of the dog, $3,000. Sean paid the customer immediately to avoid legal action, and then submitted the cost for inclusion in the business’ monthly calculation of costs at the end of the month. Mel objected, she said it was Sean’s fault that the dog was lost, not hers, and that therefore Sean should bear the cost alone. Mel and Sean each received an equal share of the profits at the end of each month. While Mel was doing as much poop pick-up as Sean, she was also handling all of the bookkeeping and business correspondence. Mel asked Sean to pay her an additional administration fee based on the number of hours she performed such additional duties. Sean did not agree to Mel’s request. Mel is now disillusioned with being in business with Sean and considers calling it quits. She comes to you to find out how the business assets would be split up if she ended the business. She specifically wants half the value of all of the business assets remaining after the business is closed, plus an additional payment to make up for the extra administrative duties she has performed. Finding the Answers to the Questions: Most of the information you need to answer these questions is in your book in Unit 3. There may be a few questions that you might have to the internet for, but not many. There is one question that is from a chapter in unit 3, but it isn’t found within the pages of Chapters 17 & 18, so it is up to you to figure out where in unit 3 the information is. Remember, this assignment takes the place of a research paper. 1. What form of business enterprise is Doody Calls Service and what is the relationship of Mel, Sean, and Joe to that business? 2. How should the cost of the lost dog be handled in order to comply with Alaska law? 3. What advice will you give Mel with respect to her rights to half of the business’ remaining assets and extra compensation should the business be terminated? 4. Re-read the prompt and assume Mel hired Sean and Joe instead. Additionally, no profit sharing occurs with Joe or Sean, nor any expenses placed upon either party. Instead, Mel handled all of the bookkeeping and financial responsibilities in addition to picking up poop (although she generally left most of the poop responsibilities with customers to Sean). What type of business would this be? Take time to explain your answers addressing the following bulleted points:  List the business type you believe exists       between Mel, Sean, and Joe, and explain your legal justification for it       being this type of business as if you were a lawyer. (Explain what role       Mel has, what role Sean has, and what Role Joe would have in this       business type) Hint: If you are thinking Question 4 business type is a       sole proprietorship situation, please think again. Question 5 addresses       sole proprietorship. It doesn't make sense that you would be asked about       sole proprietorships on two consecutive questions. Explain how this business type is       generally formed Explain the additional ways this       business type may be enforced and the criteria for the enforcement and       how this would apply to Doody Calls? Explain what document is       used to form this type of business if any, and who would file it? (Mel,       Sean, or Joe). Explain all of the duties of all the       various parties within this type of Business (use your book to find out       based upon the hint I gave- all of these questions are directly from the       chapter of the book addressing this business type, all you have to do is       figure out which business type it is, and these bulleted questions will       be easy to answer): -Explain who fits what       party role for Doody Calls.  Mel Sean Joe Explain what authorities the parties       have in this type of Business if: Sean orally agrees to pick up poop for       Doody Calls Joe decides to help with 10% of Doody       Calls’ business to accomplish the objectives of the business. The owner of the rare pedigree dog       comes to Mel asking for reimbursement of her dog. The owner of the rare pedigree dog       comes to Mel asking for reimbursement of her dog and Mel denies she has       authority to do anything about her lost dog. Sean had been at an owner’s home eating       chocolate while he picked up poop, and their dog ingested the       chocolate. Immediately, Sean took the dog to a nearby emergency vet       without informing Mel. Would this be permissible for Sean to do in       his role within this business type? After Sean took the chocolate eating       dog to the emergency vet, the cost to pump the dog’s stomach to keep it       from dying from the chocolate it ingested was $10,000. Would this       unauthorized act of Sean’s be permissible? (Explain the concept that       permits or does not permit Sean’s Actions) Walk me through the Contractual       Liabilities in existence within this type of business venture and the       various concepts within. Walk me through the Torts and Crimes       Liabilities in existence within this type of business venture and the       various concepts within. Explain how this type of business       Terminated through Acts of the Parties How could Mel cause this type of       business to terminate? How could Sean cause this type of       business to terminate? How could Joe cause this type of       business to terminate? What are the specific requirements for       Notice of Termination and responsibilities of the parties within the       business? How is this type of business Terminated       through Operation of law in the various scenarios (thoroughly explain       each of your answers- this is straight from your book under the       termination heading for this business type): -Mel’s memory goes, she       begins to see ghosts and she loses her memory from Alzheimer’s. -A law is passed in the       state where Doody Calls is located making it a requirement that all dog       owners be responsible for picking up their own dog’s poop to avoid       attracting polar bears. -Inflated gas prices during       a month’s long snowstorm make it super expensive to travel to the same       amount of homes for the cost of services Doody Calls provides. The price       they must start charging is not a price any of Doody Calls clients will       agree to pay going forwards. As a result of inflated gas       prices, Doody Calls’ financial status deteriorates to the point where       they can no longer operate. If Mel lived in Ukraine and       Sean lived in Russia and they worked together to do business for Doody       Calls in both countries before Russia began their war with Ukraine. 5. What if Mel had decided to start Doody Calls solely on her own? (define what this type of business venture is and what it entails). Thoroughly explain what the advantages and disadvantages of that type of business organization are: *Business Type Defined- *Explain Formation- (including any documents used and place it is filed) *Explain the Advantages & Disadvantages- 6.

[Bonus Question—SKIP TO QUESTION 10 IF YOU DO NOT WANT THE BONUS POINTS—worth up to 15 Points Suppose Mel and Sean’s Doody Calls partnership really takes off and becomes big, would you turn it into a corporation?  (Do not consider the prospect of potential earning power of Doody Calls in your answer). Instead, use the following steps to formulate your answer: Look at Chapter 18 and determine why       you would or would not choose a corporation if you were Doody Calls then       write a concluding sentence explaining why you would choose a       corporation. Then, use the IRAC method explained in       Chapter 1 page 11 of your textbook to analyze the advantages and       disadvantages of the following factors to make your decision: definition       of a corporation, corporation formation, cost and procedures involved in       forming a corporation, corporate personnel, shareholders, taxes, how you       would classify your corporation, corporate financing, corporate powers,       corporate liability, directors, officers, and shareholders’ roles, etc. 10.

Description Jury 1 B - E (first letter of last name) DUE at 11pm The Case of the Customer Who Died to Soon Facts:  On October 26, a Ruby Country Life Insurance agent went to the house of Penny and Chip Singh. He persuaded the Singhs to buy a life insurance policy and accepted a check for $1,600. On his way out the door, he gave the Singhs a “conditional receipt for medical policy,” dated that day. The form stated that the Singhs would have a valid life insurance policy with Ruby Country Life, effective October 26, but only when all conditions were met. The most important of these conditions was that the Ruby Country Life home office accept the Singhs as medical risks after the company scheduled a medical examination. The Singhs were pleased with the new policy and glad that it was effective that same day.      Chip died in a car accident three weeks later. Ruby Country Life declined the Singhs as medical risks and refused to issue a policy. Penny Singh sued. Ruby Country Life pointed out that medical approval was a condition to being covered. In other words, the company argued that the policy would be effective as of October 26, but only if it later decided to make the policy effective.   It had not made that decision as of the date of Chip’s death. At Trial Plaintiff argued that the policy was a scam. The so called “conditional receipt for medical policy” is designed to trick customers and then steal their money. The company leads people to believe they are covered as of the day they write the check. But they aren’t covered until much later, when the insurer gets around to deciding the applicant’s medical status.      The company gets the customer’s money right away and gives nothing in exchange. If the company, after taking its time, decides the applicant is not medically fit, it returns the money, having used it for weeks or even months to earn interest. If, on the other hand, the insurance company decides the applicant is a good bet, it then issues the policy effective for weeks or months in the past, when coverage is of no use. No one can die retroactively. The company is being paid for a period during which it had no risk. Defendant, Ruby Country Life, argued that it would be impracticable for Ruby Country Life to issue life insurance policies without doing a medical check. That is the road to bankruptcy and would mean that no one could obtain this valuable coverage. They further argued that they do a medical inquiry as quickly as possible as it is in their interest to get the policy decided one way or the other.      The policy clearly stated that coverage was effective only when approved by the home office, after all inquiries were made. The Singhs knew that as well as the agent. If they were covered immediately, why would the company do a medical check?       Questions: Does the clause making the policy effective only after a medical examination violate public policy? Explain What other basis for a lawsuit might Penny have against the insurance company? Explain Based on your answers to Nos. 1 and 2 who will win this case and why?

Description Jury 1 F- K (first letter of last name) DUE at 11pm The Case of the Director Who Wore Too Many Hats Sarah is one of 5 directors of Lavish Investments Corporation.  She is also a majority shareholder holding both common and preferred stock.  Her stock with voting rights amounts to 47% of all stock issued with voting rights.   Sarah buys, for $1,500, an option to purchase a tract of real estate called Blueacre, which is next to Lavish’s home office, for $50,000. Sarah forms a new corporation, Commercial Property, Inc., to hold the option.  She then has Commercial Property buy Blueacre.  As a director of Lavish, Sarah orders Lavish to authorize its real estate agent to negotiate the purchase of the land from Commercial Property for $100,000.  After a successful negotiation for the purchase of Blueacre for $100,000, Sarah has Commercial Property sell it to Lavish, and loan the money to Lavish for the purchase price at a 5% interest rate which is 2% below the market rate.  Pablo, a minority shareholder in Lavish, formally complains to Lavish’s board which takes no action.  The Trial Pablo files a suit against Sarah on Lavish’s behalf seeking to cancel the sale. Sarah asks the Court to dismiss the lawsuit as Pablo has no standing to bring the lawsuit. Arguments At Trial Sarah’s attorney argues that Blueacre is necessary for Lavish as it will allow them to expand their offices and production plant thus increasing the net worth and potential profits to the shareholders.  Further, the Board of Directors of Lavish authorized the purchase which appeared to be in accordance with the Articles of Incorporation. Pablo’ attorney argues that the purchase of Blueacre should have been put to a vote of the shareholders of Lavish as required by Lavish’s Bylaws.  Lavish’s Board of Directors failed in its duty to make sure this sale was in the corporation’s best interest. Questions to Decide What kind of suit will Pablo file and what is its basis? Who are the Plaintiffs and who are the Defendants? Why? What are the defenses, if any, of Lavish or Sarah? Who will win the case and why?

Description Jury 1 Aa - Az (first letter of last name) DUE at 11pm Case of Global Ethics vs. Global Economy This is a case that will be tried in the court of Public Opinion. Topanga Shoe Company, a United States corporation, buys clothing assembled by Corkie, LTD., a foreign company that employs children under 12 years of age.  These children work nine hour days and for low pay. Corkie’s nation does not enforce its child labor laws limiting workdays to seven hours for children under 12.  Many times the children’s income is needed by the family for basic necessities.   Topanga and Corkie are aware of this. Humanitarian International Politics (HIP), an international political activist organization, discovered Topanga's connection to Corkie, LTD.  HIP plans to reveal this information to the press and on social media.  Topanga hears about this proposed action by HIP.   Before HIP can act, Topanga terminates its relationship with Corkie. Topanga then publicizes this action in its advertising. The company’s sales and profits increase, apparently as a direct result. Has Topanga acted unethically in any way(s)? Explain using one of the ethical philosophies from the readings and facts from the scenario. From an ethical perspective, is Topanga’s conduct in terminating its relationship with Corkie more important than whatever its motive might be? Why or why not?
