Topnotch Computers, the owner of a computer store, contracted with Repair Guru, the owner of a computer repair business, to allow Repair Guru to own and operate a computer repair service offered within the Topnotch Computers store. Topnotch Computers subsequently terminated the three -year contract with Repair Guru with thirty-five months remaining. Five months thereafter Repair Guru was able to contract with another firm, Best Computer, to provide its computer repair equipment for use by Best in its stores. Repair Guru then filed suit, claiming that it was entitled to conduct the computer repair operations for Topnotch Computers for an additional thirty-five months and that through such operations it would have earned a profit of $150,000. Decision for whom and in what amount and

To illustrate, the Alabama Supreme Court ruled they had jurisdiction over Owens and Fitzner Pontiac-Buick-Cadillac, Inc. (“Fitzner”). Lowry v. Owens, 621 So. 2d 1262, 1267 (Ala. 1993). Fitzner is a Mississippi corporation licensed to do business in Mississippi. Id. at 1263. A third party initiated contact with Owens who bought cars from Fitzner for resale in Alabama. Id. Lowry picked up the car with a third party, and a later inspection revealed the car had been wrecked and was not new as advertised. Id. Lowry sued Owens and Fitzner for fraudulent misrepresentation and deceit from the original car sale. Id. at 1264. The Supreme Court of Alabama needed to determine if Fitzner had sufficient minimum contacts to justify the court asserting personal jurisdiction over Fitzner in Alabama. Id. Minimum contacts is made up of purposeful availment and foreseeability. Id. at 1265. Fitzner’s alleged fraud alone is not sufficient for purposeful

As telecommuting has become an increasingly popular form of work engagement, the utilization of the business use of the home deduction has also increased. The implementation of §280A(c)(1)(a) created confusion as to the definition of principal place of business and has culminated in controversy and litigation resulting in the additional requirement under the Tax Reform Act of 1997 which provided that, for purposes of the deduction, “there is no other fixed location of the trade or business where the taxpayer conducts these activities”. This requirement essentially eliminated the ability for employees that telecommute to deduct business expenses related to the use of the home (Banatte & Damtew, 2008).

The goals the business wishes to achieve are not far from reach, the business has been around for a long time and is now at its maturity stage hence it has the required finances to pursue its goals

What is a business mission statement and how can it be applied in business. pg 181

The defendant had paid her fees, but the plaintiff had issues with it because he couldn’t afford to pay so much. Judge Watkins opinion on the case was not final, she had to think about it. Judge Watkins was nice enough to talk to another intern and I about what we have seen. I went to Judge Lippit’s courtroom even though trial was done to talk to her and we discussed the case and compared it to the other case that got sent to settlement. I think that it the settlement makes sense because it was just a messy property case they settled for 6000 more than planned so they got 31 thousand. I learned that most lawyers aren’t as unprepared as the ones who had to be sent to settlement. I think that it might have been best for the attorneys to settle, because it would have been a complex

M2(Unit 37) - Assess the social implications of business ethics facing a selected business in its different areas of activity

Prior cases such as Trust of Bingham v. Commissioner, Lykes v. Commissioner, Kornhauser v. United States, Deputy v. du Pont were given as examples. The principle the Court derived from these cases is that the characterization, as “business” or “personal” of the litigation costs of resisting a claim depend on whether or not the claim arises in connection with the taxpayer’s profit-seeking activities. It does not depend on the consequences that might result to a taxpayer’s income-producing property from a failure to defeat the claim. That leads to the question: did the wife’s claims respecting Gilmore’s stockholdings arise in connection with his profit-seeking activities?

Robinson Knife Manufacturing Co. & Subs v. Comm. (2 Cir., 2010), 105 AFTR2d 1467 involved a company that produced kitchen tools with brand names. Just like Acme, Robinson obtained license agreements for names that were trademarked, and paid royalties based on a percentage of sales. The Tax Court ruled that the payments must be capitalized under IRC § 263A, but the Second Circuit reversed the decision and said the payments could be deducted under IRC § 162. This decision was based on Reg § 1.263A-1(e)(3)(i), which provides that indirect costs are properly allocable to property produced when the costs directly benefit production or are incurred due to the production of the activity. The Second Circuit determined that the payments did not "directly benefit"

“Only one reporting entity, if any, is expected to be identified as the primary beneficiary of a VIE. Although more than one reporting entity could have the characteristic in (b) of this paragraph, only one reporting entity if any, will have the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic

In this scenario, the labor cost is to print his shop in order to save some costs, and it incurred by him in the course of carrying on his business, which is consistent with the section DA 1(b) ITA 2007 (DA 1(b) General Permission, 2004). Therefore, the labor cost $1,000 is allowed to deduct.

Question 1: In the 1960s, Milton Friedman said that the purpose of business was to increase shareholder return and that issues of ethics were not the concern of any business – the law should be complied with, morality should be strived for, but ethical consideration had no place in the business environment.

Part of EnerMech’s strategy is to expand its global footprint into the western hemisphere, due to the location of the oil in gas in politically unstable countries for example Brazil and Colombia. Since 2010, oil production has flattened out entirely. In 2013, Brazil averaged only 2.7 million bpd of oil production, which is where it was three years ago. This is due to corruption and money laundering in the major Brazilian oil producing companies. http://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/Problems-At-Petrobras-Mount-As-Brazils-Oil-Production-Stagnates.html Local content legislation is also obstructing production.
