Brothers, Paul and John are thinking about a new entity structure for their business, which is
located in Los Angeles, California. Their business venture involves the sale of surf wear—wetsuits,
swimsuits, boardshorts, shirts, surf jackets, surf accessories, etc.
Paul is your best friend and is seeking your “good counsel” on his business. He heard you recently
enrolled in a business organizations class at a top 20 law school.
You know that Paul is 50 years old, married with two children (a 20-year old son at college and a
16-year old daughter living at home). He has several degrees including an MBA. He has other
business ventures, which makes him a “serial entrepreneur.” He invested $150,000 of his savings
into the surf wear business venture.
You also know that John was a professor at USC for many years before he took an early
retirement. He is 60 years old, married, and has one daughter (age 25). While John was a
professor at USC, he worked on a technology that can be used to alert surfers anytime a large
wave was onset. He doesn’t have a contract with USC regarding the university’s rights to the
technology but had spoken with his department chair about his idea for the new technology. He
hopes to license his technology to the surf wear business. This will be his sole contribution.
For the last 7 months, Paul and John have had an informal partnership. They have made $50,000
in net profit, and are thinking about bringing on their cousin, George, as an additional investor.
George comes with years of sales experience.
Paul has come to you with the following questions and concerns. Your responses to each of the
following questions should be approximately one to two paragraphs. You should substantiate
your responses by providing any appropriate references to the cases and model statutes that we
are studying in our course; no outside references are required. You may feel free to incorporate
additional facts and assumptions into the hypothetical scenario, as long as you clearly note them.

1. Paul and John formed a general partnership a year and half ago. They did not file any
papers with the state or the county of Los Angeles and wonder if they should have
submitted any formal filings. What should do they now? (They have a valid partnership
agreement.)

2. Each partner roughly owns one-half of the business, and with George’s addition, each
individual will have a one-third ownership interest. Should Paul agree to this ownership
split? Why or why not? How will this impact his ability to make decisions for the
partnership? In order for him to take out his money and invest it elsewhere, what does
he need to do? The partnership’s assets are currently valued at $750,000.

3. Related to the partnership, Paul wants to understand whether it makes sense to continue
as a partnership with George coming on as an additional investor. George will invest an
amount equal to Paul. Are they required to amend the partnership agreement or prepare
any other documentation to formalize this?

4. They also want to give George authority to enter into contracts exceeding $15,000 since
he will be running point on company sales. How should they go about doing this?

5. They (Paul, John and George) are interested in converting the partnership into a
corporation. What steps should they to take in order to successfully incorporate their
business?

Prepare a brief letter (to be sent to Paul) addressing his concerns and proposing an entity
structure that accounts for these concerns. In your letter, clearly identify the recommendation
being made and the reasons supporting the recommendation.

APPENDIX A – INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE WRITTEN ASSIGNMENTS (Rev 8/27/2017)

Each written assignment involves information provided in the textbook and research/policy information found in professional publications.The textbook for the course serves as a “manual” common to the entire class. The publications from the Internet and/or library serve as documents to be analyzed within the context of the textbook (“manual”), and should vary depending upon the interests of the student.

Each written assignment is graded on the basis of format as well as content.

Papers will be graded on the basis of the professional credentials of the author of the publication(s) used, the recency of the publication (s), the amount of research undertaken in locating publication(s), the appropriateness of the subject matter, and the balance of the analysis between the textbook (“manual”) and publication(s).

Unless specific instructions state otherwise, the content of each written assignment should address each of the following questions:

1.What information in the publication(s) is comparable to information found in the textbook?

2.What information in the publication(s) is in contrast with information found in the textbook?

3.What information in the publication(s) supplements information found in the textbook?

Guidelines for the Response Paper for “The Promise”

Goal: Compose a response to C. Wright Mills chapter “The Promise” by addressing the paper guidelines
below. The paper should be a maximum of 5 pages,

Paper Guidelines: What Your Paper Should Address

1. Clearly and concisely explain C. Wright Mills’ concept of the Sociological Imagination? How can it
help an individual understand their place within society? What is the difference between “personal
troubles” and “public issues”? Incorporate examples, other than those used by Mills, to help illustrate
your points. [45 for content and 15 for examples= 60 points]

2. What critique(s) do you have of the chapter? For a critique, it is not sufficient just to say “I didn’t like
the writing” or “I liked the chapter.” Explain why you did or did not like the chapter–and support your
critique sociologically. In other words, provide substantive sociological explanations for your positive
and negative criticisms. [30 points]

3. The remaining 10 points are for organization, clarity in writing, proper citation, and correct
grammar/punctuation/spelling.

In Module 5, you discussed the methodology that you intended to use for your individual research project. In Module 6, you discussed how you are organizing your data. Now that you have your data, and have considered the feedback from your classmates and instructor, look to see if you would like to make any modifications to your data analysis. Enter this forum and provide your rationale for the data analysis that you will do. Describe what quantitative tools you will use and explain why you have chosen them. 300-400 words

Please use the inventory QM model for this research analysis

Module 6- Data organization

• Inventory is always regarded as an asset in any organization irrespective whether it is a profit making or non-profit making body. It is usually classified as one of the current assets although some people feel that it should be a liability. Proper management of the inventory is vital for any organization to stay profitable as it tends to ensure that the stock and also assets are properly managed (Bhalla, 2010). It also entails forecasting the market demand to avoid overstocking which will definitely reduce the shelf life of our stock. This will make my company stay profitable and also make my customers more satisfied as their needs are well catered for. Doing the forecasting on demand will also help the company to reduce its operational costs which will have a positive impact on its profits.In my paper I will look keenly on the return on assets to measure the profitability of my employer. I will also use all the inventory ratios on the assets to ascertain the trend of the firm on inventory and how it is affecting its profit making process. In will factor in the inventory to current assets ratio. I will also be interested in the inventory to total assets ratio. This should give me a ration and it is usually better for the figure to remain small as a smaller ratio shows inventory that is well managed. If the ratio is higher it shows that there is low demand and over procurement thus over supply which reduces the company’s profitability. A small ratio will mean that the customer demand is very high which will reflect higher profits and well managed inventory.
