Final Paper
You are the manager of Acme Fireworks, a fireworks retailer who sells fireworks, puts on ground display fireworks, and large aerial display fireworks. The company started in the owners garage two years ago and now has 15 employees that you manage. The company started as a sole proprietorship, and the owner has never changed the entity. The owner has informed you that the company has received inquiries from several large businesses wondering if the company could create several fireworks displays on a regular basis. The owner told the inquirers that the company could fill such display orders, and a price per display was agreed upon. It was discussed that most of the cost for a fireworks display is for skilled labor, insurance, and the actual service of setting off the fireworks. No other details were discussed. The owner is anticipating that new employees will need to be hired, but he is worried that if the large orders for fireworks displays do not continue, the company will not have the funds to pay the new employees. The owner is now considering changing the business entity, but he does not know what entity to form or how to form it.

The owner has asked you to do the following:

Determine if the contracts with the businesses will be governed by common law or the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), and explain why.
Analyze whether the owner formed a contract with the businesses, and apply the five essential elements of an enforceable contract.
Explain the potential personal liability to Acme Fireworks if a spectator is injured by a stray firework from a fireworks display.
Discuss the different employment types and relationships relevant to agency law, and analyze the advantages and disadvantages of each type specific to Acme Fireworks.
Explain why Acme Fireworks should not operate as a sole proprietorship. Recommend a new business entity, and provide rationale to support your recommendation.
For each task, be sure to analyze the relevant law, apply the facts to the law, and make a conclusion.

INTELLECTUAL HISTORY LAB: HENRY AND MADISON DEBATE

January 14, 2021 Leave a comment APA (edition "APA 6"), History

Please review “What They Said: Virginians Debate the Constitution” in Chapter 6 of your textbook. Drawing from what you’ve learned about Federalists and Anti-Federalists from your weekly lesson and discussion thread, as well as what you learned in Week 1 about intellectual history, please describe what you think intellectual history is and how it differs from the political history assignment from Week 1.

Then, please answer each of the three questions from the text.

How did Henry and Madison interpret conditions under the Articles of Confederation differently?

Are you surprised that Henry values the power of the states more than that of the people? How might Virginia’s long colonial experience under Britain’s imperial reforms of the 1760s and 1770s help to explain his veneration for state sovereignty?

How did Madison attempt to minimize his differences with Henry and other Anti-Federalists? Do you think his rhetoric was effective?
Each answer should be at least a paragraph in length. And remember, a full paragraph consists of at least five sentencesa topic sentence, at least three supporting/evidence sentences, and a point or concluding sentence.

Deviance
Assignment: Test of a Theory
**The Analysis MUST be in ASA format.
**The body of the paper will be 4-5 double spaced typed pages. This does not include
title page and reference page. You do not need an abstract.
**You will use one peer-reviewed journal article and your textbook.
**This assignment is worth 140 points.
** Each student will be expected to find and report on at least one study that tests some
theory or theories of deviance. You can look for a theory that you like from the first three
chapters in the book.
**Once you find a theory that you like, then look in a scholarly journal for an article that
tests that theory. The source of the publication should be from a professional journal in
Sociology or Criminology (e.g., Social Problems; Criminology; Journal of Crime,
Criminology, and Police Science; Social Forces, Crime and Delinquency, Justice
Quarterly).
Select an article published in the last 10 years. Make sure the article reports on actual
research and is NOT a theoretical article or just a review of the literature! If you are
unsure if it is indeed peer-reviewed, I should approve the article before you begin the
analysis. You can email me a link to the article for approval. If the article is not peerreviewed, you will receive a 0 on the paper.
Answer the following questions in your test of a theory:
1. What is the theory being tested in the article? Whose theory is it? Where
originated? (Use your book here as well as the article).
2. What is the research question or hypothesis in this article? (If there is no research
question or no hypothesis, describe what the research is about.)
3. Define the variables or concepts that are studied. For each concept or variable,
give the definition and how it was measured. List independent, dependent, and
control variables. How did they operationalize or measure the variable?
4. Describe the studys population, sample, study population and the kind of
sample used. How did they gather their sample?
5. Comment on the generalizability of the study, supporting your statements. For
example, can their study be generalized to all criminal populations? If so, how? If
not, why not?
6. What method(s) of data collection were used? What were the advantages and
disadvantages of using this method or methods? Would different method(s) of
data collection been possible or better? Comment on the practicality of methods.
7. Describe the studys major findings. (Look in the conclusion section.) What
statistical tests did they use in the paper? What variables/relationships were
statistically significant? At what level?
8. What is your reaction to this research? Do you think this study will be useful or
helpful to others in some way

Your role in this scenario is to decide what you will do, what you can do, and how to proceed. You are aware that the bank will rely on the financial statements and income tax return that you prepare in making its decision on whether to grant the loan to your client. Do you complete the financials and prepare the tax return? What obligation do you have to communicate to the client as to the type of supporting documentation needed for the filing of a complete tax return? Are there any risks that taxpayers may face as a result of having poor documentation? What are those risks? Would you communicate those risks to the client? What obligation do you have to help her with respect to the preparation of the income tax return?
