...Business Law Unit 9 Assignment 2 the Case Tammy Julian Kaplan University Business Law LS311 Prof. Starcher November 17, 2013 Business Law Assignment 2 the Case The case of the Langley Brothers, Inc., exempt securities are in question, The Langley Brothers decide to sell no par common stock worth $ 1 million dollars to the public. The stock will only be sold in the state of Kansas. Joseph Langley says that the offering does not need to be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. His brother, Harry disagrees. According to the Securities Act of 1933 there are a number of specific securities that are exempt to registration but they must meet certain criteria. These criteria are the securities (1) must be government issued, (2) bank and financial institution securities, (3) short-term notes and drafts, (4) securities of nonprofit, education and charitable organizations, (5) securities issued by common carriers, (6) insurance issued by a state-regulated insurance company, (7) securities issued in a corporate reorganization in which one security is traded for another. (8) Securities issued in stock dividends and stock splits (Miller & Jentz. 8th Ed., 2010 p. 568). The stock that is being sold in this case does not meet any of the criteria. The one criteria that this stock does meet is the intrastate offering Rule 147. Rule 147 states that intrastate transactions involving purely local offerings are exempt transactions (miller & Jentz. 8th Ed...

...Unit 27: Understanding Health and Safety in the Business Workplace Unit code: H/502/5458 QCF Level 3: BTEC National Credit value: 10 Guided learning hours: 60 Aim and purpose The aim of this unit is to enable learners to develop knowledge of the legislation and regulations relating to health and safety in a business workplace in order to conduct an audit and carry out a risk assessment. Unit introduction It is important, when working in business, to ensure compliance with organisational procedures and legal requirements, as the consequences of non-compliance can have serious implications for employees and employers. It is important, therefore, for learners to appreciate that those working in business must understand the principal issues which affect the working environment, for all individuals and the organisations that employ them. This involves keeping up to date with information on the legal issues that affect safe working practices. Everyone at work plays an important part in ensuring health and safety and it is essential that key personnel are aware of their roles and responsibilities. Employers must take reasonable care to protect their employees, and others, from the risk of injury, disease or death, while employees must take care to protect themselves and others. Safe working conditions and the ‘welfare of employees’ can contribute to the success of an organisation. It is important that organisations take steps to prevent accidents...

...charter carrier operating out of Manassas, Virginia, that flies both passengers and cargo. Prior to 2011, their primary business was the transport of corporate executives. Currently, their primary customer for both the cargo and passenger divisions is the U.S. Military, which represents 10% of their total revenue. Williams Aero Flight Services’ fleet consists entirely of jets. A typical, properly maintained jet aircraft has a useful economic life of thirty years. Frequent and necessary maintenance must be performed on the engine and airframe in order for the jet to last all thirty years. The aircraft engines and auxiliary power units must be serviced every 24 to 60 months, based on usage. In order to service an engine and power unit, the engine must be removed from the aircraft and sent to a third party specialized maintenance company that maintains and repairs the engines and power units. The annual cost of these repairs, resulting from the age of the fleet and the annual usage, is $2,000,000. Annual revenue is approximately $40,000,000. During a preliminary meeting, the IRS claims that the jet engines and power units are separate units of property from the airframe and that the cost of these repairs must be capitalized under Section 263(a). Williams Aero Flight Services contends that the jet engines, power units, and the aircraft itself are one unit of property that should be depreciated over its useful economic life of thirty years. As a consequence of the dwindling...
