Acme Fireworks: Business Law

Among the various types of forensic/criminalist disciplines, this research intends to convey knowledge on one of the many varied specialties of forensic analysis known as arson, fire and explosives. The forensic investigation of arson, fire and explosives is a very collaborated approach. “Arson investigators have two immediate objectives: (1) to determine exactly where, at the scene, the fire began and (2) what caused the fire to ignite. Explosives investigators need to know the same fundamental information as they probe the destruction of buildings, airplanes, and cars” (Harmon, 2008:6). First, each forensic application must be defined to gain a greater understanding of the discipline as a whole. “Arson is the willful and malicious burning of any property for an improper or illegal purpose. By definition, it’s intentional” (J. Ford, 2014:7). In order to produce a fire three ingredients must be present at the same times, which are oxygen, fuel and heat. According to the Haynes (2015:1) “U.S. fire departments responded to an estimated 1,298,000 fires in 2014. Also, “during 2007-2011, an estimated 282,600 intentional fires were reported to U.S. fire departments each year, with associated annual losses of 420 civilian deaths, 1,360 civilian injuries, and $1.3 billion in direct property damage”. In the addition to arson and fire, explosives, have recently became one of the most tragic and alarming events.

In order to determine the best direction for Acme Fireworks going forward, we must look into the contracts to properly choose the path of this company. We must first establish that the contractual agreements already made are legally binding. Once the revision of the contract is complete, Acme Fireworks will need to reassess its staffing needs to make certain that it can fulfill its end of the contract and avoid any breaches. After all this is analyzed, Acme Fireworks will need to review its current business model as a sole proprietor and evaluate what steps it should take to ensure the growth of the company.

As the owner of Acme Fireworks you have asked me, you manager, to review and explain some ideas to you. In the following pages I have explained the potential personal liability for injuries to consumers and what must be on our labels for safety. Analyzed the newly formed contracts with the retailers and the employment and expansion that are needed for Acme to go along with the new contracts, and then concluding with the change of the business entity.

I would not want to be in too close vicinity to a company that sells the same products, as we would be diluting our customer base. Also, some areas have restrictions on the proximity of companies that sell same or similar products, so it would be important to research those restrictions through the municipality in the area. I would also see if there are any companies that sell complimentary products to mine. It makes it easier for the customer to purchase products that are related, when they don’t have to travel far to get everything they

Every 4th of July, many people go out at night and spend hours watching firework shows. Most of us are content to simply enjoy the pretty colors and sparks, without questioning the chemistry behind the spectacle, but have you ever really thought about how fireworks produce such vibrant colors? The colors emitted when a firework explodes come from an aerial shell inside the firework that contains explosive chemicals and metallic salts. These colors appear to us because of luminescence. Luminescence occurs as a result of the valence electrons in the metal salt atoms moving and changing positions. The explosion of fireworks is not a miracle; it’s simply chemistry at work.

I will start the lesson by showing two images on the interactive whiteboard (one image will be a wildfire and the other one will be a prescribed fire.) I will ask my students to determine which image shows wildfire and which shows prescribed fire. Which one is human-caused or natural. This will serve as a class discussion starter because the students will be asked to justify their choices. By doing this, I can evaluate students’ prior knowledge about the topic. I will show to them the wildfires from space through the Earth Observatory of NASA (http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/GlobalMaps/view.php?d1=MOD14A1_M_FIRE )

However, the following are the vital steps contained in each contract. Also, without them the contract would not be considered valid. First, an offer entails a statement by one party who is willing to make a contract under certain conditions keeping in mind that it shall be accepted. Second, acceptance gives a picture of the agreement to the terms offered. According to Rogers (2012), acceptance is considered valid when, (1) it is made by an individual to whom the offer was directed, (2) it is unequivocal, and (3) it is communicated to the offeror. Third, consideration encompasses the terms of the contracts between the parties. Therefore,

In a Chinese ritual, tubes made of bamboo filled with gunpowder were thrown into a fire for explosions. After this, gunpowder and tubes have been used for celebrations. As rockets became more advanced, these “fireworks” became more advanced, with more shapes and sizes.

Two people dead and 37 people were injured last night in a fire in a nightclub in Florida. The fire was caused by sparks from a ceiling fan, the Volusia Country Fire Department said.

Various liabilities can arise while manufacturing and selling fireworks. Potential personal liabilities can also arise if a customer is injured while using the fireworks and can often be devastating to the owner of a business, especially if the owner is not protected by an appropriate business structure/entity (Rogers, 2012). Hence, in order to expand the business, one of the best precautions would be to change the business from a sole proprietorship to a Limited Liability Company (LLC) (Miller, 2015). Moreover, while transitioning into a larger business, the company would have to hire additional employees or independent contractors so as to keep up with an increase in demand for the products, which leads to the necessity of having a valid contract in place to ensure that every transaction and business dealing is carried out legally (Miller, 2015). Hence, the purpose of this paper will be to provide advice to Acme Fireworks’ owner as the manager on different issues ranging from common law and UCC requirements of business contracts, the essential elements of a contract, personal potential liability in case of injury, the different types of employment and the most appropriate business structure for the company.

Fireworks release an immense amount of chemicals, and have a great amount reactions happen. The reducing agents, sulfur and carbon, combine with the oxygen from the oxidizers to produce the energy of the explosion. Nitrates are usually not used in star explosions, because reactions of nitrates do not produce a temperature high enough to energize many of the more colorful metal salts.In the 1830’s Italian fireworks makers found a group of more explosive oxidizers, which produced temperatures of 1700 to 2000 celcius and made possible the creation of much more intense colors. Unlike nitrate-containing compounds that produce a relatively slow burning rate, the oxidation by chlorates produces a much faster detonation an explosion. The oxygen released

Factors such as the costs, social situation understanding the culture, competition, labor force, rules and regulations, targeted audience, availability of labor force etc needs to be considered in business expansion plans.
