ASHFORD BUS 670 Week 1 Legal Underpinnings of
Business Law
Legal Underpinnings of Business
Law. The paper must be two to three pages, excluding title page and
references page(s), and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the
Ashford Writing Center.
Imagine that you own each of
the following businesses:
Tinker’s Home Security Service
(sole proprietorship)
Tinker & Tailor’s Home
Security Service (general partnership)
Tinker & Tailor’s Home
Security Service (LP)
Tinker & Tailor’s Home
Security Service, Inc. (corporation)

sued for breach of contract. In a chart that does not exceed one-half of a page,
compare and contrast your personal liability exposure as a result of the
different lawsuits. In one paragraph, discuss how you might limit your
liability exposure within each particular business organizational form.
b. After completing the first
part of this exercise, describe one business that you may own some day or that
you currently own. (Even if you never plan to own a business, pretend as if you
will do so for the purposes of this assignment.) Identify the best business
organizational form for the type of business that you have described,
considering personal liability exposure as well as management, taxation, and
ease of formation.
Breach of contract is when a
business contract creates an obligation that is to be full filled by people or
companies that enter into an agreement. By law a party’s failure to
complete the bargain which is under contract is known as a breach of contract.
With regard to the specifics of the contract a breach can happen when a party
fails to perform on time or does not perform at all according to the terms of
the agreement. Breach of contract is categorized as material or immaterial to
determine the appropriate legal solution or remedy for the breach (Retures
2012).

ASHFORD BUS 670 Week 2 DQ 2 Product Liability
After viewing the Chinese Imports & Food
Safety Video, consider whether U.S. retailers
that utilize products or raw ingredients that are imported from China and that
are poorly regulated should be liable in tort for injuries to consumers who are
harmed by those products. Answer parts 1 and 2 of the following question:
1. Answer part a or part b
a. If U.S. companies should not
be liable, then they could be legally exempt from tort liability. Discuss the
consequences of such a policy to U.S. consumers.
b. If the U.S. companies should
be liable, then those companies would not be legally exempt from tort
liability. Discuss the consequences of such a policy to U.S. businesses.
2. Regardless of your response
to part 1 of this question, assume that U.S. retailers do have legal liability for
defective products. What steps could U.S. retailers and manufacturers take,
when using products imported from China that would minimize their liability
exposure? For example, they could warn consumers about the potential, though
speculative, dangers when using products comprised of poorly regulated
ingredients or components. Given your strategy, what challenges would exist for
U.S. businesses that implemented your strategy?

ASHFORD BUS 670 Week 3 DQ 2 Administrative Law
and Business
Some argue that government
needs to increase its regulation of business for the good of society as a
whole, while others believe that the marketplace is self-regulating and that
government intervention through needless regulation places an unfair, costly

the answer to this question?

Elements of a Contract. The paper must be four to five pages, excluding the title page
and references page(s), and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the
Ashford Writing Center.
Address all of the following
parts of this assignment:
Suppose that the Fabulous Hotel
hires you as head chef under a two-year employment contract. After two years,
another hotel wants to hire you. However, in the original employment contract
you signed with the Fabulous Hotel, the following paragraph appears: “The
below-signed agrees not to work as a chef for another hotel in the same
metropolitan area for a period of two years after leaving our employ.”
Identify which elements of contract
must exist for this agreement to be enforceable. At a minimum, your paper must
include a detailed description of the concepts of offer, acceptance, legal
consideration, capacity, and legality of purpose. Is this contract governed by
common law or the UCC? Why? Discuss under which circumstances this non-compete
agreement would be unenforceable.
The economy is structured on
the freedom to draw up a contract with a system of laws that can be
enforced. Contracts that are freely entered into are not always
read carefully by the signer. The signer may not be aware of the elements
required to make the contract enforceable. For example if the Fabulous
Hotel hires you as head chef under a two year employment contract. If you
don’t read the contract carefully then you will not know that in the small
print it says “The below signed agrees not to work as a chef for another hotel
in the same metropolitan area for a period of two years after leaving our
employ”. Therefore, you can’t work for another hotel in the same metropolitan
area for two years there are several items that makes this contract enforceable
(Seaquist, G. and Coulter, K.)

Not all discrimination is
prohibited by law. For example, employers routinely discriminate between
potential employees based upon education or experience. Other types of
discrimination are more subtle, but still legal. For example, some employers
discriminate between potential employees based upon personal characteristics
such as weight or attractiveness. Should employers be permitted to discriminate
based upon attractiveness? Take a side and argue that an employer should or
should not be permitted by law to discriminate against persons who are not
attractive.
