CASE OPENER
The Dunkin’ Donuts Franchise Agreement
Dunkin’s Donuts Corporation operates numerous restaurants worldwide, organizing many of them as franchises. Dunkin’ Donuts has the exclusive license to use and to license others to use its trademarks, service marks, and trade name. These marks and trade name have been used continuously since 1960 to identify Dunkin’s doughnut shops as well as the doughnuts, pastries, coffee, and other products associated with those shops. Dipak N. Bhayani operated two Dunkin’ Donuts franchises in Illinois for many years. Dunkin’ Donuts later notified Bhayani that his two franchises had been violating parts of the franchise license agreement. After repeated incidents and failure to cure the violations over a substantial period of time, Dunkin’ Donuts (the franchisor) demanded termination of both of Bhayani's franchises.

Suppose you come up with an idea to produce a novel product you think could lead to enormous profits. But what is the best way to produce this product? Should you do it yourself by creating your own business? Do you have enough money to create your own business? What are the legal ramifications if your business is not successful? What legal responsibilities do you have with respect to your business?
Perhaps you share your idea with your best friend, who suggests that the two of you become partners in the production and sale of this product. What are the benefits associated with forming a partnership? What are the disadvantages? Are there other forms of business you should consider?
Choosing the form of business to create is one of the most important decisions an enterprise makes. The extent of liability and control the owner will have depends on the form of the business. The business world is not static, however, and businesses can and do change form over time, so this chapter relates not only to new businesses but also to existing ones. The first section introduces the major types of business organizations, describing how these forms are both ...

This document provides information about predatory lending and homeowners' rights. It discusses signs of predatory loans, laws that protect homeowners like the Truth in Lending Act, and strategies to avoid becoming a victim such as getting an independent appraisal and not signing documents without reading them carefully. The goal is to educate homeowners on dealing responsibly with lenders and avoiding predatory practices.
A federal grand jury has indicted 12 individuals for conspiring in a racketeering enterprise that defrauded over 900 customers through deceptive practices at moving companies located across the United States. The indictment alleges that the defendants lied about the experience and reviews of the moving companies, provided low estimates but inflated prices after goods were loaded, and in some cases stole goods if additional payment was not made. BBB warns consumers to carefully research movers online to avoid being victimized by companies that undercut estimates without properly conducting an in-home survey.

CASE OPENER
The Dunkin’ Donuts Franchise Agreement
Dunkin’s Donuts Corporation operates numerous restaurants worldwide, organizing many of them as franchises. Dunkin’ Donuts has the exclusive license to use and to license others to use its trademarks, service marks, and trade name. These marks and trade name have been used continuously since 1960 to identify Dunkin’s doughnut shops as well as the doughnuts, pastries, coffee, and other products associated with those shops. Dipak N. Bhayani operated two Dunkin’ Donuts franchises in Illinois for many years. Dunkin’ Donuts later notified Bhayani that his two franchises had been violating parts of the franchise license agreement. After repeated incidents and failure to cure the violations over a substantial period of time, Dunkin’ Donuts (the franchisor) demanded termination of both of Bhayani's franchises.
1.
Did Dunkin' Donuts lawfully revoke Bhayani's franchises?
2.
What are some potential problems that a franchisor and a franchisee might experience in their relationship?
The Wrap-Up at the end of the chapter will answer these questions.
p. 771
Suppose you come up with an idea to produce a novel product you think could lead to enormous profits. But what is the best way to produce this product? Should you do it yourself by creating your own business? Do you have enough money to create your own business? What are the legal ramifications if your business is not successful? What legal responsibilities do you have with respect to your business?
Perhaps you share your idea with your best friend, who suggests that the two of you become partners in the production and sale of this product. What are the benefits associated with forming a partnership? What are the disadvantages? Are there other forms of business you should consider?
Choosing the form of business to create is one of the most important decisions an enterprise makes. The extent of liability and control the owner will have depends on the form of the business. The business world is not static, however, and businesses can and do change form over time, so this chapter relates not only to new businesses but also to existing ones. The first section introduces the major types of business organizations, describing how these forms are both ...

3. Sally, 16 years old and unmarried, went to Hospital of the Good Shepherd with her
mother. Unknown to her mother, Sally was pregnant and in labor. She was in extreme
pain when she was admitted to the hospital and was told to just sign the medical
treatment authorization form so she could be treated. Sally delivered a healthy baby,
and both Sally and the baby were released the next day in good health. The hospital
attempted to collect their bill from Sally’s insurance carrier but it only paid a portion of
the costs. The hospital then sued Sally for the balance. Is Sally liable for the balance of
the medical bill? Is Sally’s mother responsible?
4. In many other countries, contracts aren’t as strictly construed and don’t contain all of
the terms of an agreement as they do in the United States. Often, business people
from other countries complain that U.S. contracts are viewed too formally. Generally,
contract law in the U.S. requires all parties to a contract to continue to perform the
contract even when conditions have changed and make it more difficult for one party
to continue to perform. Do you believe contracts should be more flexible to allow for
changes in the terms of the agreement when conditions change? Or, do you believe the
terms of a contract should be viewed as an absolute irrespective of any change in
conditions? Explain your answer.

Tricia and Troy are starting a pharmacy. After meeting with their attorney and accountant, they decide they want to begin using the simplest form of business organization they can. However, their primary concern is personal liability. They don’t want to jeopardize their personal assets for business obligations. They’ll also need to obtain financing to get the business started.

Regulatory Complaints Case Scenarios
Discuss the following case scenarios and questions in your Learning Team to complete the Regulatory Complaints Summary Learning Team assignment due in Week 4.
Case 1
Mariah B., an LMFT, worked with a client for over 2 years and no longer sees him. The client presented with generalized anxiety disorder, which reduced in frequency and severity of anxiety after working with Mariah B. Mariah B. was out in a busy part of town one weekend and saw the client. The client came up to her and thanked her for all the work that was done to help him better manage the disorder. Mariah B. accepted the thank you and told her former client, “If you ever need me again, do not hesitate to contact me.”
After several weeks, Mariah B. received a phone call from her former client. She returned the call and found out that the client had a romantic interest in her. Mariah B. noticed that she felt the same way and initiated the personal relationship with the former client. For 2 years, she pursued this client through e-mails, phone calls, and meetings at a local coffee shop.

· Could the client lodge a complaint?
Case 2
Dominic A., an LMFT, had several discussions with a current client about the possibility of terminating the therapeutic relationship and the possibility of establishing a friendship after therapy. He said that the symptom presentation was minimal and that he treated the client more like a friend to begin with. Many times they talked about events in each other’s lives more than the minimal adjustment symptoms. After terminating therapy, Dominic A. began talking to the client on the phone socially. The two never saw each other in person, and the phone calls lasted for approximately 4 months.

Case 3
Jane Allen P., an LMFT, informed her client that the client’s health insurance was not covering her therapy fee. Jane already knew that the client could not afford to pay, so she got creative and ethical at the same time. To avoid a lapse in treatment and issues of client abandonment, Jane decided to allow the insurance company to continue to bill at the same rate and allow the client to discontinue the $10 co-pay. Jane considered this to fulfill her pro bono requirements.
The client continued to bill her insurance company and Jane wrote off the remaining balance. This practice continued many months. Allegations of misconduct were reported to the licensing board.

Scenario
In Part I of the assignment, Chuck House and Ben Holmes created a business they called House & Holmes Facilities Management. At the time, Chuck and Ben were the only employees. By the end of the second year, House & Holmes hired two additional full-time employees and paid a few temporary laborers as needed for certain maintenance jobs.
Chuck and one of the temporary laborers, Steve, were carrying an old cast iron bathtub through a customer’s house when the homeowner’s dog ran under Steve’s feet, causing him to lose his balance and drop his end of the tub. Unable to control the tub, Steve dropped his end of the tub causing it to knock over a flat screen television that shattered on the floor. The tub left scratches in the wood floors. Steve tore his rotator cuff in the fall and was unable to work for two months. Ryan, the customer, was upset about his television.
House & Holmes owns three trucks and one van, each registered to the business. The vehicles advertise the company’s name, phone number and website. Jason, one of the full-time employees, drives one of the trucks home at night when he is on call for emergency repairs. One night Jason stopped off at Hillside Tavern to have a couple of beers before going home. On the way home, Jason swerved to avoid hitting a deer and hit a car driven by Charmaine Wilson. Charmaine’s car sustained $4,500 in damages and she missed three days of work recovering from her injuries.
Regions Bank loaned $20,000 to House & Holmes. Chuck, Ben and their friend Phil agreed to be co-sureties for the loan. The handyman business defaulted on the loan and Regions Bank plans to sue Phil for payment of the loan.
House & Holmes agreed to install a new air conditioning unit and an outdoor kitchen in a luxury home on the beach. The parties agreed to a price of $9,500 for the purchase and installation of the air conditioning unit and outdoor kitchen. Chuck agreed to let the homeowner pay for the work in installments of $2000 a month. Two months later, the homeowner filed for bankruptcy. Chuck demanded payment of the remaining amount due or threatened to repos.

1) Marley refinanced his home through a mortgage broker, King Tubby Mortgage Co., to get funds for a needed roof repair.

ACE 427 Homework 1
Spring 2016
Homework 1
The purpose of this homework is to introduce you to one of the most important concepts in
commodity price analysis—the random walk model. To obtain the data for the homework, go to
the farmdoc website and collect the US monthly average price received for hogs from January
1960 – November 2015. A downloadable Excel file with the data can be found at this link:
http://www.farmdoc.illinois.edu/manage/uspricehistory/us_price_history.html. The link for the
price data is at the bottom of the purple area of the tool.
1. Produce a line plot of the entire data series on one page. Do your best to format the chart
in a useful manner.
2. Produce a scatter plot where x is the previous month hog price and y is the current month
hog price. Note you will lose one observation when you construct the series for this plot.
In other words, generate a second price column which is the original data lagged by one
month, e.g. row #1 Feb 60 Jan 60; row #2 Mar 60 Feb 60, and so on. Show the
regression of y on x on the chart along with the equation and R2.
3. Generate the monthly change in hog prices. Simply subtract last month’s price from this
month’s price.
4. Produce a scatter plot where x is the previous change in the monthly hog price and y is
the current change in the monthly hog price. Note you will lose two observations when
you construct the series for this plot. Show the regression of y on x on the chart along
with the equation and R2.
5. Discussion:
a. What does the plot in #2 suggest about the predictability of monthly hog prices?
b. What does the plot in #4 suggest about the predictability of monthly hog prices?
c. How can the two predictability results be reconciled? Do some digging on the
random walk model. One well written paragraph is sufficient.

Part 2 Deep Dive: Navigating the 2024 Slowdownjeffkluth1
Introduction
The global retail industry has weathered numerous storms, with the financial crisis of 2008 serving as a poignant reminder of the sector's resilience and adaptability. However, as we navigate the complex landscape of 2024, retailers face a unique set of challenges that demand innovative strategies and a fundamental shift in mindset. This white paper contrasts the impact of the 2008 recession on the retail sector with the current headwinds retailers are grappling with, while offering a comprehensive roadmap for success in this new paradigm.
Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).

The Evolution and Impact of OTT Platforms: A Deep Dive into the Future of Ent...ABHILASH DUTTA
This presentation provides a thorough examination of Over-the-Top (OTT) platforms, focusing on their development and substantial influence on the entertainment industry, with a particular emphasis on the Indian market.We begin with an introduction to OTT platforms, defining them as streaming services that deliver content directly over the internet, bypassing traditional broadcast channels. These platforms offer a variety of content, including movies, TV shows, and original productions, allowing users to access content on-demand across multiple devices.The historical context covers the early days of streaming, starting with Netflix's inception in 1997 as a DVD rental service and its transition to streaming in 2007. The presentation also highlights India's television journey, from the launch of Doordarshan in 1959 to the introduction of Direct-to-Home (DTH) satellite television in 2000, which expanded viewing choices and set the stage for the rise of OTT platforms like Big Flix, Ditto TV, Sony LIV, Hotstar, and Netflix. The business models of OTT platforms are explored in detail. Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) models, exemplified by Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, offer unlimited content access for a monthly fee. Transactional Video on Demand (TVOD) models, like iTunes and Sky Box Office, allow users to pay for individual pieces of content. Advertising-Based Video on Demand (AVOD) models, such as YouTube and Facebook Watch, provide free content supported by advertisements. Hybrid models combine elements of SVOD and AVOD, offering flexibility to cater to diverse audience preferences.
Content acquisition strategies are also discussed, highlighting the dual approach of purchasing broadcasting rights for existing films and TV shows and investing in original content production. This section underscores the importance of a robust content library in attracting and retaining subscribers.The presentation addresses the challenges faced by OTT platforms, including the unpredictability of content acquisition and audience preferences. It emphasizes the difficulty of balancing content investment with returns in a competitive market, the high costs associated with marketing, and the need for continuous innovation and adaptation to stay relevant.
The impact of OTT platforms on the Bollywood film industry is significant. The competition for viewers has led to a decrease in cinema ticket sales, affecting the revenue of Bollywood films that traditionally rely on theatrical releases. Additionally, OTT platforms now pay less for film rights due to the uncertain success of films in cinemas.
Looking ahead, the future of OTT in India appears promising. The market is expected to grow by 20% annually, reaching a value of ₹1200 billion by the end of the decade.

May I Call You? (graded)
Congress enacted a restriction on telemarketing, known as the National Do-Not-Call list, which made it illegal for telemarketers
to place unsolicited commercial calls to consumers. A consumer may register up to three residential phonenumbers for thelist.
The Act does not prohibit calls from political campaigns and others seeking support for politicalcandidates, nor calls from
certain charities seeking donations. TheAct provides for significant financial penalties imposed by the Federal Communications
Commission on any telemarketer or company that violates the law. Some telemarketer organizations claim that the law is
unconstitutional.
Congress also enacted theCAN SPAM Act, prohibiting certain kinds of spame-mail nationwide. The CAN SPAM Act also
states that, “This act supersedes any statute, regulation or rule of a statethat expressly regulates the use of electronic mail to send
commercial messages, except to theextent that thestaterule prohibits deception in any portion of a commercial electronic mail
message or information attached thereto.” Subsequently, California enacted a new anti-SPAM law that applies to spame-mail
either sent from a server in California or sent to a California e-mail address.
What constitutionallaw issues do these statutes raise, and who should prevail? How, specifically, should the courts resolve these
constitutionalissues according to thecurrent stateof the law? What substantialgovernment interest is Congress attempting to
protect with theNational DNC List? Where is that found in U.S. Constitution?What other strategies could the government
employ to reach the same result?

A Sobering Lawsuit (graded)
Fun Products, Inc. is in the business of designing computer games. At the end of a particularly successful year, company
management decided to throw a celebration party at which it would announce large bonuses for theentire workforce. The party
was held in thebanquet room of a localhotel, owned by the Milton Hotelchain, and was catered by the hotel, including an open
bar for all guests. Employees were also invited to bring a spouseor significant other. A good time was had by all, but too much
fun was had by a few, including Larry Lush, and his wife, Linda. Larry and Linda had attended other company functions at which
alcohol was served, and had a reputation for drinking a bit too much.
The company offered a free taxi ride home to any employee who had a bit too much to drink, but Larry and Linda declined the
free cab ride, and attempted to drive home in their own car. En route, Larry, who was driving, struck another vehicle, injuring
Veronica, the driver of that car. Larry has limited assets, and his insurance had just expired, as well as his driver’s license.
Veronica wants to sue Fun Products, Inc. and theMilton Hotel chain for her injuries, which include medical bills, lost wages,
property repair costs (her car), and pain and suffering. She also wants to obtain a court order prohibiting Fun Products, Inc. from
ever serving alcohol at a company function again.
Without trying to decide who will win if Veronica sues Fun Products, Inc. and the Milton Hotelchain, analyze the following.
Who are the parties to this lawsuit, and what are they called (trial level and appeallevel)? What types of law will Veronica’s
lawsuit involve? What typeof remedies is she seeking, and are theseremedies (or some of them) appropriateto this typeof case?
What legal sources will the court consider in deciding if Fun Products, Inc. and the Milton Hotelchain (or either of them) are
2. liable for Veronica’s injuries? What types of liability does Larry face as a result of this scenario? What burden of proof will
apply?What issues in this disputewould a jury decide (if the case went to trial), and what issues would a judge decide? What if
the person(s) with liability here doesn’t have themoney to pay Veronica’s damages?

Wendy Wanderer (graded)
Derek Dirt operates a home-based business selling herbs and supplements. Hefrequently receives new samples and is constantly
discarding unwanted samples, as well as packaging, old files, and other junk on a back yard trash heap that accumulates between
trash pick-ups. Little Wendy Wanderer, age five, who lives next door, sees what, to her, promises to be a nice toy among Derek’s
trash. Upon coming closer to the trash heap, Wendy is bitten by a rat. She screams and then faints. Her nearby mother calls an
ambulance, which, on the way to the scene, jumps a curb and strikes Paul Pedestrian, seriously injuring him. Wendy requires a
series of rabies shots. Except for some bad dreams, Wendy apparently recovers. Derek and Wendy are both citizens and residents
of Ohio. Paul, who is a citizen and resident of Texas, was visiting friends in Ohio when the ambulance struck him.
• Does Wendy have a solid basis for suing Derek for her injuries?
• Who might be liable to Paul Pedestrian?
• What types of damages could Wendy recover?

Bad Bar-B-Q (graded)
Over many years, Jake and Jo Bob built up a barbeque ribs business, Hambones, Inc., which caters picnics and parties and sells
ribs and corn at county fairs. They have several creditors, including Sauce Supply and First State Bank.
Two years ago, in reliance on an audit of the company’s books prepared by Hambones, Inc.’s accounting firm, Able &
Henderson, First State Bank made a loan to Hambones, Inc. It now appears that the audit failed to disclose financial improprieties
in Hambones, Inc.’s maintenance of its books: Certain liabilities were being carried off the books, causing Hambones, Inc.’s
bottomline to appear more favorable than it really was. Thedecision to carry the liabilities off thebooks was made by Jake and
Jo Bob, but there is now an argument as to whether a more careful audit would have uncovered the liabilities. Jake told the
accounting firm that the audit was being done at the bank’s request in order for the loan to be approved, and that it was really
important that thecompany receive a clean bill of health from the audit. Able & Henderson didn’t want to lose Hambones, Inc. as
a client.
Sauce Supply also knew that Hambones, Inc. had been audited and heard from Jake and Jo Bob that theauditors were very
satisfied with Hambones, Inc.’s financial position. Jake gave Sauce Supply’s president, Sandy Saucy, a copy of theaudit report.
Able & Henderson had no knowledge of thesestatements, or that Sauce Supply had received a copy of the audit report.
• What standard of care applies to Able & Henderson’s accounting work for Hambones, Inc.?
• Does Able & Henderson face any negligence liability to First State Bank or Sauce Supply in a statethat has adopted the
Ultramares rule?
• In a statethat has adopted theRestatement rule?
• In a statethat has adopted theReasonably Foreseeable User rule?

ups for dinner, including bread and butter and ice water, all of which you partly consume. When you read the menu, you realize
that the prices far exceed what you can afford. You then make it clear that you do not intend to order a meal.
• What typeof contract (obligation) do you have, if any?
• What factors and contractual elements will you consider in assessing whether a contract was formed?
• What if, instead, you read the menu and place an order, but say nothing about agreement to pay. Is there a contract?
Also, assume there is fine print at the bottomof themenu that states:20% gratuity charged. $20.00 cover charge per table.
• If you ordered dinner but didn’t see the fine print, what is the effect?
• Does this change in thefacts alter your conclusion regarding the scenario above? Why or why not?

Maria, who lives in Seattle, sent Koji a letter via first class mail, stating, “Koji, I think your 2003 Ford SUV is worth $20,000. I
will give you $20,000 cash for it.” Koji receives the letter, but believes his car isn’t worth more than $14,000 due to the manner
in which he drives the vehicle and due to theweather in Florida where he resides.
Maria’s letter was mailed on Monday. When she didn’t hear from Koji by Wednesday, she sent an e-mail on Wednesday
afternoon with the same message, and asked whether he received her letter. Koji received Maria’s letter on Wednesday, but did
not receive the e-mail until Friday afternoon, due to server problems. In the meantime, Koji sent a fax late on Friday stating, “Are
you sure you still want to buy my car for $20,000? I accept your offer.”
On Saturday, after some research, Mariadecided theFord SUV was not worth what she thought. To make certain Koji would
know this fact, she sent Koji a letter via Federal Express stating, “Your SUV is not really worth $20,000.” On Monday morning,
Koji received the Federal Express letter from Maria. Also on Monday morning, an hour later, Maria received Koji’s fax at work.

small town about three hours away. After viewing thehouse, you decide it is the perfect weekend place; and amazingly, the price
is in your budget. In fact, you’reamazed that the house is so affordable and has been on themarket for a while. You sign a real
estatepurchase contract to buy the house from the current owners, who have lived there for over 20 years. You make the sale
contingent upon an inspection of the property by alicensed construction engineer. The engineer inspects thehouse over the

which the prior residents of the house had reportedly seen. In fact, thehouse is listed in a national guide to haunted houses, and
had previously been included in a walking tour of thetown as the haunted house. A newspaper article once described it as a
charming Victorian (with ghost). You now jump at every creak and noise the house makes. You want the seller of the house to
take it back for failing to inform you that thehouse is haunted.

4. Battle of theForms (graded)
Initial Text:Nellie Nimble, purchasing manager for Fast Color Paint Company, mailed a purchase order to AB Can Corporation
for 100,000 cans of high-gloss white paint at $15 per gallon wholesale. The order form mailed by Nellie contained 17 printed
conditions on its reverse side. The third condition stated:“Buyer may reject any defective goods within 30 days of delivery.”
The order form also stated that payment would be made as follows: 50% upon receipt of the goods, and 50% within 30 days of
the receipt of goods. AB Can (the seller) sent a signed letter confirming theorder, but the letter stated: “Any objection to goods
shipped must be in writing within five (5) days of receipt of goods.” AB Can’s letter specified thesame payment schedule as Fast
Color’s purchase order, but stated, in addition, “Interest at the rate of 12% per year will be charged on late payments.”Fast
Color’s purchase order said nothing about interest on late payments.
AB Can delivered thecans (100,000) and Fast Color sought to object to 10,000 of the cans as defective on the seventh day after
receipt of thecans. Fast Color paid 50% of theorder’s purchase price upon delivery but paid the balance (minus the 10,000 cans
it rejected) 40 days after delivery.
• Did Fast Color have the right to reject 10,000 cans, seven days after delivery?
• Does Fast Color owe interest on theportion of its payment that was not paid within 30 days of receipt of the paint order?
• Did the provision for interest on late payments materially alter the contract?
• What terms in AB Can’s purchase confirmation are additional terms, not mentioned at all in Fast Color’s order? (Explain your
rationale, and also statewhether you believe the outcome is fair.)

Trade Commission (FTC) recently brought an enforcement action against the company for violating theFTC Act’s prohibition of
unfair and deceptive trade practices, based on some of the company’s advertising. The company wants to challenge the FTC’s
ruling by appealing to thecourts. TheFTC’s ruling was based on thecompany’s ads for herbal teas (claiming they block

result in the loss of two pounds or more each week without dieting or exercising).

dry-dock. She charged the supplies to her personal credit card. Thesupplies were delivered and used, but the cruise line refused
to reimburse Melinda for the cost of the supplies because she hadn’t obtained the required approvals before making the purchase.
Melinda takes theposition that doing so would have delayed the purchaseof the materials, because the person who normally
grants approvals was on leave for several weeks. The cruise line takes the position that someone else would have handled the
matter promptly if Melindahad simply followed company procedure. Melinda is threatening to sue to obtain reimbursement.
• Meanwhile, Steve, a member of theship’s maintenance crew, on shore leave for a day, came back to the ship late, after drinking
to excess. Before retiring for thenight, Steve turned several wheels on thedry-dock’s wall, which resulted in a flooding of the
tanks on one side of the dry-dock. The ship listed, slid off the blocks holding it up, then crashed against thedry-dock wall,
ruining much of the dry-dock. The dry-dock owner is suing Duchess Cruise Lines, Inc., for reimbursement of the damages to the
dry-dock.

project. He was not an employee of Duchess Cruise Lines, Inc. and was not authorized to make any purchases or enter into any

Dan and Carla both plan to do design work in the business, while hiring confectionery employees to prepareand assemble the

sense for them to co-own the business, or if one should be theowner and theother an employee. They anticipatehiring just one
other employeein thebeginning, and grow as demand requires. Carla’s brother and sister-in-law also want to invest in the
business, but do not want to be involved in its operations. Dan and Carla also want to give their daughter, Alissa, age 12, some
ownership in the business at some point.
