Business Law Memo

[ad_1]

Your assignment is to write me a legal memo (paper) in regard to the problem below. You are to discuss all parties and relevant issues in a thorough analysis. As these issues deal with the law of contracts, you should look at your contract outline and start to go through the various elements and ask yourself whether any of those elements might pertain to this situation. Only discuss relevant issues! I am not as interested in your outcome (who will end up winning) as I am in how you use the law to support your points. Base your answer only on facts given. If additional information is needed, tell me that. A sample answer to a different problem is attached for clarification and format..  To: BMGT StudentFrom: ProfessorRe: Joseph v. Steve Joseph is a wholesale distributor of novelty supplies. Steve operates a novelty supply store. On May 1, Joseph received a written order from Steve for 3000 miniature novelty candy bars at fifty cents each, which was the price listed in Joseph’s wholesale catalog. The order from Steve stated that the candy bars were to be chocolate and peanut butter with “Lucy for City Council” on the front to be purchased by Lucy. The order specified for delivery of half of the candy bars by September 1st and the remaining novelty candy bars by October 1st. On May 5, Joseph sent Steve a written confirmation, which acknowledged the quantity, price, delivery dates, and purpose of the purchase. Both the order and the confirmation were on forms containing a number of printed clauses. The printed clauses were substantially the same on both forms, except Joseph’s confirmation forms included additional clauses stating that all disputes about the transaction were to be resolved by arbitration, and that damages were limited to costs of shipping the items back for replacements. On June 30, Steve telephoned Joseph and told him another distributor offered him the same candy bars for only forty cents each and that Steve intended to switch his order to a new distributor unless Joseph agreed to lower his price. Rather than lose the sale with a long-term customer, Joseph stated, “For a good customer as yourself I will give you the forty cent price.” On August 30, Joseph shipped the first 1500 candy bars and, on September 2nd, Joseph accepted Steve’s payment for those novelty candy bars at forty cents each. Since 1500 right flavors of candy bars were not available, Joseph sent 500 each of white chocolate, chocolate with nuts, and chocolate with caramel. Unbeknownst to Steve, the candy bars reacted to heat and if they were not stored in temperatures less than 80 degrees, they would melt. Steve stored the candy bars in a warehouse where temperatures ranged from 99 to 100 degrees. If Steve had known, he could have stored the candy bars in proper conditions. On September 12, Steve wrote to Joseph and canceled the second half of the order because Lucy dropped out of the race. When Joseph received the letter of cancellation, Joseph had not yet ordered the second set of candy bars from the manufacturer. Joseph sued Steve for breach of contract in state court, seeking damages based on the original fifty cents price for those remaining 1500 candy bars. Joseph also sued for the additional ten cents per candy bar he is believed owed to him from the first shipment. Steve counterclaims for the ruined novelty candy bars. He also argues breach of contract because none of the candy bars confirmed to the type that he specified in his order. Joseph argues that if he is liable to Steve for anything, it is only the cost to return the candy bars because of the damage limitation clause. What arguments should each party make (Joseph and Steve) and how should the case be decided? Should this case go to arbitration? Why or why not? What about the damage limitation clause? Sample Question and Answer. Please note that Box Co. is a sample. You are to answer the Steve v. Joseph problem above. Sample Question: Box Co. manufactures cardboard boxes used for storing household goods during moves. On Feb. 1, Moving Co. telephoned Box Co. and said it needed 5000 boxes from Box Co.’s candy catalogue at the price listed in the candy catalogue. Moving Co. asked that each box be imprinted with Moving Co.’s address in black ink, and that the boxes be delivered to the Moving Co. on May 1. Because this was to be the first transaction between the parties, Moving Co. asked Box Co. to send it a box for inspection. The candy catalogue contains a provision that “because of variation in pigments, seller cannot guarantee the color of imprint of any product.” On Feb. 15, Box Co. delivered to Moving Co. a box with the requested black ink. On Feb. 16, Moving Co. sent its order form for 5000 boxes to be delivered on May 1. The following was printed at the bottom of the order form: “Strict adherence to terms and samples is required.” Box Co. delivered 4500 boxes on May 1 and the remaining 500 boxes on June 1. The imprint on the majority of the boxes was a murky gray. Moving Co. refused to pay for the boxes and Box Co. sued for breach of contract. What are the rights of each party? Discuss. Sample Answer: Students, please note this is only a sample. I expect your own case analysis to be written in your own words. Also, not every issue in the sample is identical to the issues in your paper. The sample is to give you a general idea of some of the issues you might need to discuss. Do not copy the sample! If you are not sure an issue is relevant, ask me. Legal MemoTo: ProfessorFrom: (Insert name)Re: Box Co. v. Moving Co. Formation: Formation of enforceable promises between the parties requires a mutual agreement (offer and acceptance) and consideration, with no defenses. The transaction here involves the sale of goods (students: you must say whether this is a service contract—where common law applies—or a goods contract—where the UCC applies) so the UCC applies. Both parties appear to be merchants since they deal regularly with the sale of boxes—Box Co. manufactures them and Moving Co. uses them for its business. Offer: Box Co.’s supply catalogue could be an offer, which was accepted when Moving Co. placed its order on Feb. 16. However, supply catalogues are usually viewed as invitations to bid, just as advertisements are, and are not considered offers. Moving Co.’s phone call on Feb. 1 may be deemed an offer, while Box. Co.’s shipment of boxes can be considered as an acceptance. But the initial phone call between the parties again tends to be more of an inquiry, in which Moving Co. is requesting more information. Most likely, the offer was made on Feb. 16 when Moving Co. sent its order form to Box Co. In the communication form, Moving Co appears to be presently willing to enter into an agreement (intent), there is communication form, and definite terms. Acceptance: Under the UCC, an acceptance may be made in any manner reasonable under the circumstances. This means that the shipment of boxes by Box Co, constituted an acceptance and Moving Co. and Box Co. have a unilateral contract. Strict adherence required? While Box Co.’s supply catalogue disclaimed any guarantee as to color, this was not likely considered to be part of the offer that Moving Co. accepted. (if we have decided that Box Co. was the one who made the offer). Even if it was, Moving Co.’s acceptance was different as it contained a disclaimer. Under the UCC, this would still form a contract and this disclaimer would become part of the contract unless Box Co. objected within a reasonable time OR the new term was a material variation. Here, since Box Co, did not object, you would need to argue that this term was a material variation and hence, not contained in the contract. In the alternative, if you viewed Moving Co.’s order form (with the terms) as an offer, then the strict adherence terms would be contained as part of the agreement if Box Co. properly accepted when they shipped the goods. Box Co, neither objected to the term nor notified Moving Co. that this was an accord and satisfaction. Hence, with this argument, Box Co. could be in breach. [In the answer, I would recommend that the student do both possibilities to receive full credit.] Consideration: Not an issue here. [Don’t assume that consideration will not be an issue in your problem because it isn’t relevant in the sample.] Statute of Frauds: Because this is a sale of goods priced at $500 or more, this contract must be in writing. The writing must 1)indicate that a contract for the sale of goods has been formed 2) identifies the parties 3)indicate bares the quantity of goods involved and 4) is signed by the party to be charged Here, Moving Co.’s order form may be sufficient, especially since there is a quantity term. Even if it was not considered to be sufficient, the contract may be enforced to the extent that the goods were received and accepted. [Students: don’t forget to address whether your question will have a Statute of Frauds issue. Go through the contracts that must be in writing and see whether they apply to your fact pattern.] Breach: Box Co. is suing Moving Co because Moving Co. refuses to pay. To win, Moving Co. needs to successfully assert that it has no duty to pay for the boxes because Box Co. already breached the contract by shipping nonconforming goods. Quality—the strict adherence was required, the murky gray imprint may mean that the boxes were nonconforming. Quantity—the tender of delivery also may have been nonconforming since only 4500 boxes were delivered on May 1, the day specified in the contract. The other 500 boxes were delivered one month later. Box Co. may argue that it had a right to cure its tender of nonconforming goods. If Moving Co.’s silence after receiving the May 1 delivery is deemed to have given Box Co. reasonable grounds to believe that the delivery of nonconforming goods was accepted, Box Co.’s June 1 delivery may be considered effective “cure” at least to the quantity problem as long as the one month delay is considered reasonable under the circumstances Did Moving Co. accept the goods? Box Co.’s strongest argument would be that even if the goods were nonconforming, Moving Co. never rejected the shipment. Moving Co. had sufficient time to inspect the shipment (between May 1 and June 1) to discover the problem with the color. Since Moving Co. never notified Box Co. that they were rejecting the delivery, Box Co. detrimentally relied on the silence as acceptance of the nonconforming goods and delivered the additional 500 boxes in a good faith attempt to cure the nonconforming tender. Hence, Moving Co. should be deemed to have accepted all of the boxes and must now pay for them. Moving Co. may claim that it initially accepted Box Co.’s shipment because it reasonably believed that the nonconformity would be cured in a timely manner and then it was not. Yet Moving Co. still should have notified Box Co. of its expectations. In addition, Moving Co. only has right to reject the nonconforming goods if the nonconformity “substantially impairs” their value. The murky quality of an imprint on boxes that are used for storing household goods during moves may not substantially impair the value of these boxes for their intended use. [Students: you could go either way here. You could also insist that the murky quality of the printing did substantially impair the box’s value.] Result: Assuming that Moving Co. is deemed to have accepted the nonconforming goods and it is still in possession of the boxes, it will be liable to Box Co. for the contract price minus any damages (because of the delay in the last 500 boxes) that Moving Co. can prove resulted because of the nonconformity.      Criteriademonstrates a high degree of critical thinking, is consistent in accurately interpreting questions & material; provides solid assumptions, reasoning & claims; provides thorough analysis & evaluation with sound conclusionsshows good critical thinking; accurately interprets most questions & material; usually identifies relevant arguments/reasoning/claims; offers good analysis & evaluation with fairly sound conclusionsshows occasional critical thinking; questions & material is at times accurately interpreted; arguments/reasoning/claims are occasionally explained; offers fair analysis & evaluation with a conclusionshows little critical thinking, misinterprets questions or material; ignores or superficially evaluates; justifies little and seldom explains reasoning; draws unwarranted conclusionslacks critical thinking consistently offers biased interpretations; ignores or superficially evaluates; argues using poor reasoning, and/or unwarranted claimsarguments or positions are well-supported with evidence from the readings/experience; ideas go beyond the course material and recognize implications and extensions of the material and conceptsarguments or positions are mostly supported by evidence from the readings and course content; ideas presented demonstrate student’s understanding of the material and conceptsarguments are more often based on opinion or unclear views than on position grounded in the readings of material or external sources of materialarguments are frequently illogical and unsubstantiated; student may resort to ad hominem attacks on the author instead of making meaningful application of the materialarguments lack meaningful explanation or support of ideasdemonstrated full understanding of requirements; responded to each aspect of assignmentdemonstrated understanding of requirements; missed one minor aspect of assignmentdemonstrated some understanding of requirements; missed a key element or two minor aspects of assignmentfailed to show a firm understanding of requirements; missed two key elements or several minor aspects of assignmentdid not demonstrate understanding of assignment requirementswriting is clear and easy to follow; grammar and spelling are all correct; formatting gives a professional look and adds to readabilitymost ideas are presented clearly; occasional spelling and/or grammar issueswordy; some points require rereading to understand fully; more than an occasional spelling and/or grammarunclear and difficult to understand; frequent spelling and grammar issueslargely incomprehensible writing/poorly written in terms of mechanics and structureno APA style errorsattempts in-text citation and reference list but 1 or 2 APA style errors are presentattempts in-text citation and reference list; APA style errors are present; inconsistencies in citation usage can be found throughout the documentattempts either in-text citation or reference list but omits the otherno attempt at APA styleOverall Score

SWOT analysis

[ad_1]

Purpose: In the second assignment, within a report, you will create a SWOT analysis, discuss a SWOT analysis and provide a detailed explanation of what considerations led to the determination of the SWOT components.  You will then make recommendations and explain what factors were considered in making the recommendations.Note:  Not all critical company information is provided, so it is impossible to complete a financial analysis but instead students will focus on the first elements of the P-O-L-C, planning.Outcome Met by Completing This Assignment:* integrate management theories and principles into management practices* employ effective planning processes to develop strategies, goals, and objectives in order to enhance performance and sustainability* identify the essential characteristics of decision making and indicate the range and types of decisions a manager makesInstructions:Step 1:  Preparation for the AssignmentYou are expected to use the facts from the case scenario focusing on using this information to determine opportunities and solve problems.In writing this assignment, you will read and following these tasks: * Third person writing is required.  Third person means that there are no words such as “I, me, my, we, or us” (first person writing), nor is there use of “you or your” (second person writing).  If uncertain how to write in the third person, view this link:  http://www.quickanddirtytips.com/education/grammar/first-second-and-third-person.* Contractions are not used in business writing, so you are expected NOT to use contraction in writing this assignment. * You are expected to paraphrase and are NOT to use direct quotes.  You are expected to paraphrase, which can be learned by reviewing this link:   https://writing.wisc.edu/Handbook/QPA_paraphrase2.html.* You are responsible for APA only for in-text citations and a reference list.  If there is a page number, then the page number must be used, otherwise use the paragraph number.* You are expected to use the facts from the case scenario paired with the weekly courses readings to develop the analysis and support the reasoning.  No more than two (2) external resources can be used in completing the assignment.  No book references are allowed.  The expectation is that you provide a robust use of the course readings.  If any material is used from a source document, it must be cited and referenced.  A reference within a reference list cannot exist without an associated in-text citation and vice versa. * In completing the assignment, students are expected to use the facts from the case scenario and company profile to develop the analysis.  View the company profile here:  Galaxy Toys, Inc. Company Profile.   Step 2:  How to Set Up the Paper Create a Word or Rich Text Format (RTF) document that is double-spaced, 12-point font.  The final product will be between 6-8 pages in length excluding the title page and reference page and appendix.  You may not exceed eight (8) pages so it is important to write clearly and concisely. Use the following format:* Create a title page with title, your name, the course, the instructor’s name and date;* Introduction* SWOT Analysis* Strengths & Weaknesses* Recommendation* Short-term Production Goals and Objectives Step 3:  Part One:  Read critically and analyze the following scenario: The toy industry is very fickle and innovation is critical.  Sales for January 2017 showed only a 3% rise over January 2016 leaving the company managers concerned about meeting projected sales targets for 2017.  In a 30-month plan, George Jepson, Jr., as CEO, together with Edward Mercury, CFO, set long-term goals for the company to include the following:* increase sales unrelated to NASA toys by 22 percent;* reduce company-wide costs by 5 percent within 15 months and 11.2 percent by the end of the plan;* create new technology based action toys;* use innovative technology in production to increase efficiency;* reduce carbon footprint by 5 percent.In November 2016, the long term planning team began to select the newest Galaxy product line.  The choice of the right product design will hopefully stop the slump in sales and jump start growth.  Tomorrow, February 4, 2017 is the final meeting of the planning team.  The team will choose between three options:* produce 2 million Payload Nine toys or MMTJE1 for Christmas 2018;* produce 1 million Payload Nine toys for Christmas 2017 and 1 million MMTJE1 for Christmas 2018;* produce 1.5 million MMTJE1 toys for Christmas 2018.The products have different production requirements.  Payload Nine is designed to complement the International NASA Space Station series.  Payload Nine is geared to the 7-10 age groups and contains building blocks to make the space shuttle with emphasis on the cargo hold and its loading arm.Focus group results suggest that Payload Nine will sell well but it is not a “wow” product in the eyes of the group.  It is not a trendsetting toy.  The introduction of Payload Nine is estimated to jump NASA sales by 6.8%.  Payload Nine requires little change on the production floor and supplies are easily obtainable.  Production could begin May 1, 2017 and completed in time for the Christmas toy market.  No additional personnel would be needed and existing production would not be delayed.  Production costs would fit within the current year’s budget.The other project “Moon Mission to Jupiter’s Europa” (MMTJE1) is a 3D engineered of the Curiosity vehicle used to. explore Mars.  The toy is operated remotely allowing a child and parent to launch the capsule “Juno 1” craft, 500 ft. in the air, unload the rover called Galileo and move it along all terrain surfaces.  Galileo takes pictures remotely and sends them to a cell phone.  The toy is geared for the age 11-15 market but can be used with younger children as long as there is adult supervision.  The toy is made from a 3D printer and consists of a plastic capsule and rover base with electronics added separately in production.  [Not sure what 3D printing is, view http://3dprinting.com/what-is-3d-printing/]Focus group results suggest that it is a “wow” product and would also encourage sales of related toys and books as Jupiter’s Moon Europa has been deemed by scientists as the most accessible and likely place to support habitable life as we know it to be. Children can view pictures and imagine a Moon currently covered in ice as a new space frontier adventure. An interactive video game is also envisioned.  It will be the first intergalactic action toy that Galaxy Toys has ever produced.  MMTJE1 is estimated to bring a 15% increase in unrelated NASA sales if rolled out in 2017 and 21.6% increase if rolled out in 2018.  However, MMTJE1 is not production-friendly at this point.The new production equipment, electronics, computer programming and trained personnel would not see production beginning before November of 2017.  Anticipated budget costs of $450,000 necessitating a budget increase of $300,000 over all five plants would be needed.  In order to meet the October deadline for Christmas 2017 sales additional labor would be needed with a cost increase of 20% over the projected $450,000 budget costs.  In addition, the push would necessitate significant rescheduling of current production and likely require factory workers to put in overtime. Finally, the rush would be predicated on the assumption that production problems would not occur.Keith Wisternick, VP of Production, has the job of aligning all the production teams for Galaxy Toys, and more specifically, he is the person that ensures that each of the plants are capable of producing toys that meet the quality standards of Galaxy Toys in an efficient and cost-effective manner.   Also, part of Keith’s job is to provide valuable input into the long-term planning process of the company. Every two years, Keith and his counterparts in the other departments meet to determine the new product line for the upcoming two years.  They are presented with new ideas that have been developed by the Design and Engineering Department. After soliciting input for recommendations on the toys that would most likely meet the company’s future objectives, the Board of Directors narrowed the choices to Payload Nine and Moon Mission to Jupiter’s Europa 1 (MMTJE1).As VP of Production, Keith is very aware that his recommendation and vote lends great influence to the outcome.  Lucky for Keith, he is not expected to provide his recommendation without first delegating some researching responsibilities to others.  One person that he relies upon for research and analysis is Itza Yu who is a Production Manager.  Yu has been tasked with creating a SWOT analysis for Keith’s review.   However, Yu has not had any prior experience with creating this type of information.  Keith has provided the following source to help him:https://www.mindtools.com/pages/article/newTMC_05.htm Step 4:  Create the introductory paragraph.  Within this paragraph, provide a brief overview of the scenario.  Then, provide a thesis statement and tell the reader the main topics covered in the paper.  The introductory paragraph is the first paragraph of the paper but is typically written after writing the body of the paper (Questions students responded to above).  View this website to learn how to write an introductory paragraph:  http://www.writing.ucsb.edu/faculty/donelan/intro.html Step 5:   SWOT AnalysisAssume the role of Itza Yu.  Using the facts that have been provided in the case scenario and the Company Profile as well as your own research on the toy industry, create a SWOT analysis table for Keith.  If you need to know how to create a table, view: How to Insert a Table in a Microsoft Word Document.  Important note: To be clear, the SWOT analysis must be focused on the company as a whole and must not be transformed into a method of evaluating the pros and cons of the Payload Nine or the MMTJE1.  This analysis (the pros and cons) will be included later in your analysis. Step 6:  Strengths & WeaknessesTask 1:  To assist further Keith, Itza Yu must also provide a detailed explanation as to what considerations led to the determination that certain facts should be classified as “strengths” while others were classified as “weaknesses.” In other words, it’s not enough to list various strengths and weaknesses, but instead, Itza Yu must explain “why” these facts were included in the analysis. Step 7:  RecommendationLastly, Itza Yu must recommend the best long-term planning decision for Keith’s approval.  In this report, Yu must explain the analysis and factors used in evaluating the vision, mission, long-term goals and SWOT analysis of the company that led to the conclusions that formed the basis of the decision.  Here is where you will make the decision as to which toy(s) will be manufactured and when they will be produced/sold.  Remember that you will use the information contained in your SWOT analysis to identify and evaluate the pros and cons of the alternatives before selecting the best choice.  Remember, what Yu present has to be accurate and well supported since Keith will make this recommendation to the Long-term Planning Committee..Step 8:  Part Two: Short Term Production Goals and ObjectivesRead critically and analyze the following scenario:The Board of Directors has decided to accept the recommendation to roll out the “Moon Mission to Jupiter’s Europa 1” for the holiday season of 2018.  In a virtual meeting, led by Itza Yu, the production managers have had a “brainstorming” session and have created a list of short-term goals and objectives. In reviewing the list, Itza Yu noted that some of the items on the list are sound short-term goals and objectives while others are not and therefore, should be removed.  He also noted that some of the items do not fit well with the company’s vision and mission and will need to be eliminated.Assuming the role of Itza Yu, students must determine whether the items on the list are “goals” or “objectives” and whether they should be adopted or abandoned.  The list is as follows:Short Term Goals and Objectives List* Production of quality MMTJE1 toys must start February 20th, 2018.* Production of quality MMTJE1 toys must start by July 1, 2018.* Establish timelines for starting production.* Establish timelines for hiring new personnel.* MMTJE1 quality toys production.* Additional personnel must be hired by February 20th 2018.* Materials must be state of the art.* Establish timelines for purchasing (and receiving) materials * 3D printers must be purchased by February 20th, 2018.* 3D printers must be purchased and installed by November 1, 2018.* The first MMTJE1 toys should be produced by December 1, 2017.* QC should evaluate first toys by December 31, 2017.* Completion dates for QC standards will be determined by QC.* Safety standards should be determined by QC by May 1, 2017.* Materials must be purchased by and delivered by July 1, 2017.* New packages should be palletized by May 1, 2018.* Personnel for all production functions must be organized by March 31, 2017.* Shipping should begin immediately upon final inspection from Quality Control.* Shipping should begin July 1, 2018.* Shipping start dates should be determined.* IT must confirm programming for 3D printers is complete by June 1, 2017.* 3D machine operators must be trained by October 31, 2017.* Establish timelines for completion of 3D programming, training and installation.* Maintenance for 3D printers must be done daily.* Personnel must be cross trained on the 3D printers.* Training on new equipment must be done by October 31, 2017.* Marketing will determine shipping start date.Task 1:  Answer the following required elements for Part Two making sure that the facts of the scenario and the course readings support the reasoning of the answers provided. From the list above, students should generate a table with three sections.  Label the first section, ‘Appropriate Short-term Goals.’ Label the second section ‘appropriate objectives’.  The third section should be those other goals and objectives that have to be abandoned.  Task 2:  Take each item from the list above and place the item into the appropriate column.  In completing this task, Yu is expected to demonstrate an understanding of the difference between “goals” and “objectives” and their choices should reflect this understanding.  * (G) A goal is defined as being a broad aim and spells out what needs to be done generally.* (O) An objective is defined as a specific and measurable action needed to meet the goal.* An abandoned item is one that does not fit with the timeline of the project. Hint look at the pattern of the tasks and dates to achieve them.* For the goals and objectives that are abandoned, Yu must explain why they were abandoned and how they might be revised to be more appropriate.Task 3:  Yu will clearly explain the reasoning for the categorization of the goals and objectives as this analysis will be very helpful to Keith Wisternick and the Board of Directors of Galaxy Toys, Inc.

Assignment

Describe one of the safety committees your organization uses and how it reduces risk within your organization.
