Case 6 Jim's Woodworking

Forming a business entity requires a great deal of knowledge before any decision is made. There are advantages and disadvantages to each entity and without proper understanding of what they are, individuals could make costly errors and forfeit crucial perks that would be in the businesses best interest. In the situation in New State, Alex, Bill, Carl, and Devon have inherited their father’s operating organic farm and seek advice, in regards to which form of business organization would best fit their particular criteria. They have emphasized their immediate concerns, wants and needs from a business standpoint, but also stress their strong faith to uphold and operate in accordance with the Christian worldview. Their criteria is as follows, (1) create an entity which averts formalities or complexities, (2) develop a structure allowing cousin Xavier to handle the day-to-day, (3) minimize taxes on the entity, (4) avoid any personal liability, (4) keep business in the family only, (5) remain in accordance with the Christian worldview, (which will be the final topic in this discussion). After reviewing all criteria, it will be advised that forming a limited liability company (LLC) and electing for an S corporation status would be of best interest for the family. Discussed below, is the strengths and weaknesses of each form of business organization as it applies to their unique situation, to help better understand why an LLC/S corporation, is the best form of

This memo is intend to present appropriate treatment of the ARO estimation problem experienced by the Lack of Information (LOI) based on the findings from interviews with all 50 of the warehouse managers and on-site visits at each of the 50 locations of its warehouses countrywide.

Ever since Angela has become the 100% owner of Wheeler she has concerns about some possible negative goodwill that Wheeler might have. She is also worried that the corporation might not be employing the best practice to dispose of hazardous waste; she fears that a personal liability might arise from that practice. Similarly, Angela does not like the idea of the Texas franchise tax that Wheeler is subject to. Because of the above concerns Angela is contemplating the idea of liquidating the corporation and reorganizing the business as a sole proprietorship.

In Task 2, the owner is correct in his need to move away from a sole proprietorship and into an entity where his personal assets will be shielded in the event of a business failure. There seem to be three major ways to remove this liability, which include a C-Corp, S-Corp and LLC. For this situation, I would recommend an LLC for the business owner and will explain why it will benefit him in the issues of liability, continuity, income taxes, profit retention and control.

Chris and Sue are 50 percent shareholders in BackBone personal service corporation. Backbone provides chiropractic services in four separate offices, in four small towns: Troy, Union, Vista and Willow. Chris is the main chiropractor in the Troy office, and Sue heads up the Vista office. Charlie, the main chiropractor in the Willow office, does not see eye-to-eye with Chris and Sue on management styles. Charlie is highly competent and well-liked by patients and therefore indispensable in the eyes of Chris and Sue. Chris and Sue may be willing to give Charlie control of the Willow office, but do not want to lose the profits this office adds to BackBone. A corporate reorganization seems to be a good alternative.

To that end, in 1898, Darrow accepted the defense of Thomas I. Kidd of the Amalgamated Woodworkers’ International Union. Kidd was charged with criminal activities related to his strike organizing efforts at the Paine Lumber Company in Oak Brook, Illinois. Specifically, Kidd was charged with criminal conspiracy to interfere with the business of the lumber company by organizing a strike.

The senior executives of the Sunrise Senior Living corporation, to include the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Chief administrative Officer, are all White males. The remaining fifteen key corporate leaders consist of 67% White males and 33% White females. The leadership structure within Sunrise at Fair Oaks is more diverse and consists of seven people; four males and three females. One of the male leaders is African American and another is Asian.

Beyond the key leaders, the workforce at the local facility is very diverse. There are approximately 100 employees. Minority

Guillermo Furniture are considering their potential future, there are three choices; to continue as they are, to adopt a high tech strategy or finally to adopt a broker strategy. The way that the strategy is implemented will also depend on a decision concerning the structure of the firm and whether or not it will remain as a sole proprietor business. If the firm does not remain as a sole proprietorship it may become either a partnership, or a limited company/Corporation. If company was to become a partnership Guillermo need to find a partner, and was then share ownership and risks. However, it does not appear there only likely partners, furthermore with falling revenues undertaking a strategy that will require sharing of revenues is unlikely to be acceptable. If Guillermo forms a Corporation there are some advantages, a corporation will have its own legal identity, which will mean Guillermo will not carry the risk risks associated with the business personally, they belong to the business. However, setting up a corporation can be costly, and a new corporation may find it difficult to borrow money. If the organization needs to borrow money in order to fund the development, it is highly likely that Guillermo will be asked to provide personal guarantees, which will undermine the protection afforded by the corporate veil. Therefore, it would appear there are no significant advantages to changing the existing ownership

The business is located in the Pacific Northwest region and does the retail distribution of lumber products in the local area. Plywood, moldings, and sash and door are some of the typical products of the company.

Handle the situation and do not let it get any more out of control than it currently is. This sounds the brewing of a perfect storm for customer service and relations. It is ultimately reflecting poorly upon the company. The V.P. should make the distributors and retailers know that this behavior is unacceptable and Handy Andy does not endorse this kind of business in relation to its valued customers.
