ASSIGNMENT: Did Jim And Laura Buy A Car?

Jim and Laura Buyer visit the local car dealership because they are interested in buying a new car. The car they currently have is aging and is starting to have mechanical problems. Jim and Laura would share the new car, and use it to go back and forth to work and school. Before going to the dealership, Jim and Laura decide that they can only afford $400.00 a month in car payments. Once at the car dealership, Jim and Laura meet Stan Salesman. Stan shows them several vehicles and Jim and Laura test-drive several of the cars. Jim and Laura particularly like the blue 4-door sedan.  Therefore, they agree to give Stan Salesman a $100.00 deposit to hold the car for a day. Stan Salesman does not give them the receipt but guarantees that the $100.00 is refundable. No documents were signed. The next day, Stan Salesman calls Jim and Laura to ask them when they would like to take delivery of the car. Jim and Laura, on the way home from the dealership, decided that they were not going to buy the car because they did not want to spend that money each month. Therefore, Jim and Laura tell Stan salesman that they have decided not to buy the car and request their $100.00 deposit back. Stan insists that the $100.00 was a deposit on the car and was meant to be part of the contract to buy the car. Stan is very persistent and insistent that Jim and Laura have contracted to buy the car; therefore, the $100.00 will be applied to the purchase price of the car. Jim and Laura are shocked and angry as not only do they not want to spend the money, but now feel as though they are being duped by Stan Salesman. Jim and Laura have an appointment to see a lawyer in a few days, but know you are a student taking a business law class and come to you for advice. They are very frazzled, and understandably upset that they may have just purchased a car. Since you have been taking business law, you have read and understand the elements of a contract and the defenses to a contract. Therefore, although you are not a lawyer, you provide some basic advice from what you've learned in your business law class. In three to five (3-5) pages, advise Jim and Laura based on the above facts as presented, the material provided in the text, and material covered in the lecture. In your paper, be sure to address the following: Define the elements of a legal contract using examples from the scenario where applicable.

Business Forms And Governance

Purpose of Assignment

The legal form an entity or individual takes is a decision that must be considered from a risk and liability perspective, not simply one of ease of formation or cost. Form can impact the entities ability to grow and, in some circumstances, its ability to survive. As you consider this reality and approach this assignment, consider not only the form the business takes but also the way it will be governed. Remember the law requires business leaders conduct their business ethically and within the boundaries of the law.

Intro To Emergency Management

What kinds of improvements or corrective actions were or are needed to help improve that response activity in the future?

Question 2 

After reading one of the after-action reports and the executive summary in A Failure of Initiative, think about the kinds of issues and activities that can “go wrong” or be a challenge in an emergency or disaster. Select an aspect of emergency/disaster response or recovery that presents challenges (e.g., situational awareness, communications [internal to incident response or external with the public], evacuation, post-disaster housing, or others) and do additional research, reading, and thinking to suggest at least two specific ways to improve how a jurisdiction or organization addresses the challenge or problem you identified.   

Question 3 

Based on the reading in the National Climate Assessment (pages 1-14 and at least one additional section of the NCA Highlights), prepare a short paper of at least 300 words that summarizes key points regarding climate change impacts and explores how the effects of climate change may affect the practice of emergency management in the coming decades.
