...Pg457 Q9 Loan & Wrongful Act Bob and Sally decided to open a shop providing pedicures and selling foot-care products. They called it “feet first”. They agreed that Bob would be solely responsible for performing the pedicures and Sally would be solely responsible for providing and packaging the foot-care products for sale. Mei Ling, a friend of both Bob and Sally’s, agreed to lend them $10,000 to get the business started, provided she received half of the profits at the end of the first year. Otherwise the profits are to be shared between Bob and Sally equally. Mrs Plod has recently complained that the foot lotion she purchased from Feet First has caused severe irritation, leaving her unable to walk or work for several weeks. Tests have revealed that the foot lotion contains chemicals likely to cause harm if applied directly to human skin. Unfortunately, when Sally was preparing the lotion for bottling she allowed a quantity of corrosive industrial cleanser to be mixed into the lotion. Mrs Plod is seeking $10,000 damages to cover medical expenses, lost wages and considerable pain and suffering. Sally has no money and Mrs Plod wants to claim against Bob and Mei Ling. Bob and Mei Ling claim that the negligence and breach of contract is solely the responsibility of Sally. Discuss whether Mrs Plod has an action against either Bob or Mei Ling. Give detailed reasons for your advice. Loan & Wrongful Act P457 Q9 Issue: Should Bob or Mei Ling liable for the injury of Mr Plod Rule/application...

...Bob is tired of working as an attorney and decides to open a pet shop. Although Bob knows nothing about dogs, he decides to specialize in retrievers. Bob calls up Dog Breeder and orders 10 Black Labrador retrievers, 10 Chocolate Labrador retrievers, and 10 Yellow Labrador retrievers. All dogs are to be pure bred and male. Breeder mistakenly sends Bob 5 male and 5 female retrievers of each category. Bob does not notice the difference. Although Breeder “certifies” that they are pure bred, he does not send any papers. Bob puts an ad in the newspaper advertising male Black Labs $200.00 each, male Yellow Labs $150.00 each, male Chocolate Labs $100.00 each. Grand Opening Sale. The ad works and Bob’s store is busy. Sally is the first person in the door and immediately picks out a cute female black lab. Neither Bob nor Sally knows it is a female. Bob writes up a contract transferring ownership to Sally. Printed on the contract is a statement “All Sales Final.” Sally signs the contract, pays cash, and leaves with her new dog. Betty, a dog trainer, asks for a pure bred Yellow Labrador. Betty asks, “Are you sure this is a pure bred?” Bob says, “It was certified by Dog Breeder.” Betty thinks she is getting a great deal since a pure bred yellow lab typically sells for $1,000.00. Betty signs her contract and pays for the dog. All the dogs sell in a matter of minutes except for one chocolate lab. Sally calls her sister Sarah who has been looking for a Labrador. Sally tells Sarah that...

...leadership scale (ELS): visionary, shepherd, teacher and servant. This paper will evaluate an ethical issue within an organization and will discuss the various traits and skills apparent and lacking in the situation based upon Ben-Hur’s and Jonsen’s model as well as several other approaches to ethical leadership. Ethical issues come up in all levels of management in all organizations. In my previous position at EDMC an ethical issue surfaced with one of my employees. One of the managers who worked for me, who I will call Sally, bumped into one of my peers who was in charge of the training department, Bob. Sally proceeded to tell Bob a story about one of his trainers, Tom, forging coaching documents to fake coaching with Sally’s employees; Bob was Tom’s boss’s boss. This story that Sally was telling Bob was not first-hand knowledge; it was hearsay from Sally’s employees who supposedly had coaching sessions with Tom. In addition, a couple of months earlier, Sally complained against Tom to Tom’s direct supervisor, and she made it very clear that she did not support Tom as a trainer. The ethical issue seemed to be Tom faking...

...• Sally and Bob have a 3-year-old son, Jimmy. Sally thinks Jimmy has aggressive behavior because he watches too much TV. Bob thinks Jimmy has aggressive behavior just because he is a boy and boys are typically more aggressive than girls. Identify what the problem and issue are in this scenario. o What do you think influences our behavior more: nature, nurture, or a combination of both? Explain your answer _________________________________________________________________________________ A good scenario would be, if for starters sally and Bob communicated the fact that Sally believes one thing and Bob belives another about the behavior of their son Jimmy , then the questions remain as to why are they not communicating about what the real problem is , and what can they do to fix this problem? As parents you need to work together to come up with a solution when a problem arises with your children. Therfore if there is a behavioral problem, then the solution becomes to experiment with changing the habit of the child . If Sally believes it is the T.V. causing the problem then remove the situation or put limits on his time and his programming to see if this is the problem . This is nurture being proactive in the situation and the childs behavior.Bad behavior is not to be rewarded. If there is an agression that should not be there , common sense says, dont ignore it. You have to, as a parent, need to be there to teach your children, love and care for...

...awareness for the act. This act is a sign of negligence per se on the part of the restaurant. Moreover, the restaurant followed the rule by placing a sticker in regular menu, but missed the sticker in the menu provided to the injured guests. Additionally, warnings were not in place in the sticker or outside the second floor to assist the guests to warm the guests about the dangers of visiting the terrace. We can even argue that the law was in place to prevent such kind of injuries to the restaurant patrons and by not following the law the restaurant displayed grave negligence about the safety and security of its patrons. In the definition of the person there are various duties owed by the restaurant. As the patrons of the restaurant both Bob and Sally were owed the duty owed to a Business Invitee.

...statement and posted it on the project’s intranet (see PE Figure 4-1). Once posted on the intranet, he sent a short e-mail message to all team members requesting feedback. Minutes after sending the e-mail, Jim’s office phone rang. “Jim, it’s Sally. I just looked over the scope statement and have a few comments.” “Great,” replied Jim, “it’s just a draft. What do you think?” “Well, I think that we need to explain more about how the system will work and why we think this new system will more than pay for itself.” “Those are good suggestions; I am sure many others will also want to know that information. However, the scope statement is a pretty high-level document and doesn’t get into too much detail. Basically, its purpose is to just formally announce the project, providing a very high-level description as well as briefly listing the objectives, key assumptions, and stakeholders. The other documents that I am working on, the workbook and the baseline project plan, are intended to provide more details on specific deliverables, costs, benefits, and so on. So, anyway, that type of more detailed information will be coming next.” “Oh, OK, that makes sense. I have never been on a project like this, so this is all new to me,” said Sally. “Don’t worry,” replied Jim, “getting that kind of feedback from you and the rest of the team will be key for us doing a thorough feasibility analysis. I am going to need a lot of your help in identifying possible costs and benefits of...

It was late May 1992, graduation was approaching, and she had finally landed the job of her choice. She had just finished an early morning telephone conversation with Bob Marks, the MBA recruiting coordinator at Telstar Communications, a large, publicly held multinational company. Mr. Marks had offered Ms. Jameson a unique position in operations at Telstar, and from the description, it sounded exactly like the job that she wanted. Since her first interview with Telstar, she had been very impressed with the company and its people. While Ms. Jameson was certain that she would accept the job, there was still one unsettled, yet crucial, matter--her compensation. During the conversation with Marks, Jameson had asked what her compensation package would be. Marks: "Well, Sally, we are all very impressed with you and would like to offer you a starting salary of $50,000. In addition, you will also receive a signing bonus." Jameson: "The base salary is a little below what I had expected. Is that negotiable?" Marks: "I'm afraid not. That's the same starting package all MBAs get. However, you will receive a bonus upon accepting our offer. You can receive $5,000 in cash, or choose stock options instead." Jameson: "I'm not too familiar with stock options. Could you...

...Psy 201 DQ Wk 5 DQ1 My first response as a male was that the child was probably just being himself. When I fully comprehended the question I concluded that Sally and Bob probably have a rebellious son on their hands. They should calmly and firmly take control of the situation before Jimmy gets too much older and grows to be disrespectfully to his parents. Television could be one of the issues, so perhaps walking in the park would be an activity that would benefit the child. Exercise is good for a child and it also helps wear out the child which could take some energy out of the aggression. Sally and Bob observed. The next day after a good nights sleep, perhaps the child would be more agreeable to the situation. Television I would say has some of an affect on how the child behaves, but I have a son and sometimes he expresses anger but not aggressive behavior. DQ2 I think it is a combination of both nature and nurture that influences our behavior. Nature refers to the environmental factors of influence (siblings & family, schooling & peers, and any other external source of influence around them). Nurture refers to the hereditary factors which “are based on the genetic makeup of an individual that influences growth throughout life” (Laserwords, 2009), and therefore influential to the individuals behavior. There are a lot of environmental factors that are going to influence a child’s behavior as he or she is growing up. Most of our traits of behavior have to do with the...

...1 If we ignore tax considerations and assume that Sally Jameson is free to sell her stock options at any time after she joins Telstar she has several options. She can either choose to take the cash bonus, the stock options and sell it, or she can take the option and keep it until it is worth use. Let’s compare the three situations that we choose to analyse : 1- She takes the cash bonus and decide to invest it in a 5-year bond which has a anualize rate of 6.02%. So at the end she will win 5310$ (=5000*1.0602). 2- She takes the options in order to sell her stock options. Let’s assume that it is easy to find someone who want to buy the option at the value of the call option. Using the exhibit 3, the standard deviation of the Telstar common stock is 30%. S= 18.75 K= 35 r= 6.02% t= 5 σ= 30% So C= 2.9245 Assuming that she can easily and quickly find someone to buy her options, she can sell it at 3000*2.9245= 8773.5$ Then she could even invest these 8773,5$ in a 5years bond and win 8773,5*1,0602=9301,7$ 3- She keeps the options until it is worth use it and sell her shares. If she wants to earn more than she could have won by taking the cash bonus we have to find the value of the stock that would make her win more than 5301$ (X-35)*3000=5301 => X= 36,767 So when the value of the stocks is greater than 36,767, it will be worth using the option and sell the shares after. Sally Jameson will win more than 5301. If she want to earn...

...to how King Tut died. One popular story that stands out is based on the relationship between King Tut and Ay. This story is popular so much so, that It was said that Ay killed King Tut out of greed. Ay knew that by killing King Tut he would inherit the throne. In 1968, Ronald Harrison, a British scientist took x-rays of Kings Tut’s skull. During his examination he discovered fragments of bone inside the skull possibly indicating trauma to the head. The damages to the head could have been caused after death, during the mummification process; however, it is highly unlikely. A trauma specialist from Long Island University by the name of Bob Brier insisted it could not have been caused naturally. He stated, “The blow was to a protected area at the back of the head which you do not injure in an accident, someone had to sneak up from behind.” Bob Brier revealed his findings January 17, 1997 in a conference held in California. He believed the motive is obvious and is more logical than the other stories surrounding King Tut’s death. Also, Mr. Brier points out a ring that was discovered in Cairo in 1931. This ring showed that Ay and Ankhesenamun were married soon after King Tut’s death. Mr. Brier believes Ay forced Ankhesenamun to marry him because if she didn’t, Ay wouldn’t have been able to inherit the throne....

...their son, remained a slave. Henceforth, Daniel and Nicey would seek their own food, clothing, and shelter and other requirements as they met them, though with their productive years behind them, one struggles to imagine how Daniel and Nicey survived long, if indeed they did [128]. In his will, Nathaniel also granted freedom to other slaves after his death, including Edom, David, and Wyatt, though Wyatt would have to purchase his freedom for fifty dollars payable in three installments. Finally, on October 26, 1826, Nathaniel died at age eighty-five, his obituary being published four days later in the Lexington Reporter in which he was simply remembered as a "soldier in the Revolution" [129]. Nathaniel left behind sixty-seven-year-old Sally Pattie Sanders, his wife of exactly fifty years. Nathaniel’s estate was administered on Sally’s behalf, providing for her amply for the years ahead. The task of estate inventory and appraisement fell to son Robert, who also arranged two sales of Nathaniel’s...
