Question Questions On Business Ethics

Billy communicates his acceptance directly in response to Choy’s offer. To ensure a contract, acceptance must be unqualified, clear and certain and communicated to the offeror. In this case, these requirements are satisfied and Billy clearly expresses his acceptance, temporarily giving up his study.

This paper is composed for the individual assignment for week 2 of the MBA 633 Legal Issues in the Workplace course. The topic for this assignment consists of the differences between ethical and legal business issues. This paper will provide answers to questions related to employee behavior away from the office, and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and bribes. Both topics have been presented in the form of video cases (video 93 and 98) found in the Cengage digital video library.

Abandoned minors are no longer protected from liability on their contracts, merchants are still reluctant to deal with them on a credit basis, fearing that they may still attempt to disaffirm, or

C.) For case three, the question in law for me is whether there has been a relevant consideration for the reduction in rent; and the payment plan between Abigail and the council. And whether Abigail can estop the council from the removal of the new payment plan as it is a contract between the two of them. Under modern English law, the doctrine of consideration is used in place of the requirement of forms. Consideration is best described in the case of Currie1. If one party accrues a benefit, because of some detriment place on the other party. So, I would argue under this definition there is some form of consideration between the council and Abigail. As the council are willing to take reduced payment for a period (detriment of the council, a

Luke, an ABC employee, is currently working on a land development project consisting of building an adult entertainment store in a neighborhood where Luke’s brother, Owen, lives. Luke knows that Owen has been considering selling his home but that he is putting it off expecting the real estate market to improve in a few years, yet Luke knows that the project will cause the opposite effect.

an action can't be right if the people who are made happy by it are outnumbered by the people who are made unhappy by it.

Peter Crist is almost always correct. The reality is that if someone lies or covers stuff up, most of the time they will be found out eventually be it in two days or in 20 years. However, the reality is that some people do lie and cover stuff up in professional and personal situations and are never exposed. Sometimes this is because they're in a situation where dishonesty is prized, other times it's because the people around them turn a blind eye to what they see because they don't want to know the truth. Other times, it's because the person engaging in the dishonesty is so crafty and so quick that the trickery and subterfuge is almost inscrutable. However, the fact remains that Crist is correct. Often people are found out because those who are engaging in the trickery have so much hubris and so much arrogance that they engage in bolder and bolder moves, believing that they will never be caught. One example of that from the recent past is of Bernie Madoff. His crime was a simple Ponzi scheme which grew larger and larger in size and scale to the point where he couldn't help but be found out. In this case, the fact that Ms. Jones was found out was somewhat expected: she advanced to such a position of power within the institution that she was almost one of their public figures, which meant that her credentials would be under greater scrutiny.

The first issue is whether or not Enzo had a valid contract with Gina when she asked him to take possession and care of her car until she returns home from active military duty. As compensation, Gina gave Enzo the right to use the car while in his care and he agreed. It appears that in this case they did have a valid contract. There was a valid offer and acceptance by both parties. There was consideration by both parties for the benefits. The verbal contract was for a lawful purpose and both parties appeared to be adults of sound mind. With this issue of a contract, both parties seem relevant to the four elements for which Enzo will take care of Gina’s car while she is away and until she returns.

We have already mentioned whether it is ethical for Tommy to reveal material facts to DEF by using the Kantian approach. We concluded that it is unethical for Johnnie to fire Tommy if he disclosed material facts that Johnnie’s wife being a majority shareholder to DEF. We are going to see whether Tommy should not disclose material facts to DEF when using the Utilitarian approach. The Utilitarian approach says “ends justify the means.” It believes that we do whatever necessary to accomplish the end result that fulfilled a multitude of people. For example, as the CEO, Chairman of the Boards, and the founder of ABC, it is ethical for

His father does not give $5000 to him, but his father does not own his money. The promising is not the contract base on law. He says it as the gift. Gift can be given and can be not. It is not obligatory. Therefore, it does not effective. Even, father does not

A contract is a promise or a set of promises for the breach of which the law gives a remedy, or the performance of which the law in some way recognizes as a duty. To have a better understanding on the legal issues between Mike and the Rower brothers, we first need to establish the legal relationship between them then we can look into the issues and disagreement between them. There is a simple bilateral contract in writing formed between Mike Tuckerberg and Elder Rower on 1 December 2016. And there might be an implied contract between Younger Rower and Mike Tuckerberg during 1 December 2016 to 31 July 2017, it will be discussed in the following essay.

1. The Sales Rep. A sales representative for a struggling computer supply firm has a chance to close a multimillion-dollar deal for an office system to be installed over a two-year period. The machines for the first delivery are in the company’s warehouse, but the remainder would have to be ordered from the manufacturer. Because the manufacturer is having difficulty meeting the heavy demand for the popular model, the sales representative is not sure that the subsequent deliveries can be made on time. Any delay in converting to the new system would be costly to the customer; however, the blame could be placed on the manufacturer. Should the sales representative close the deal without advising the customer

The court's response would likely center on the concept of reasonableness. Was it reasonable to assume that young people would use a product that was attractive for its general street usage as if it were not? And would it be reasonable for all occupants of the bike to follow the instructions as intended? The law basically assumes that if someone gets hurt when using a product of this nature properly then the makers or sellers can be potentially held responsible. It would seem that in this case the companies should have anticipated the street use of the vehicle, but that may not mean that they are responsible for the accident. It would seem to depend entirely on the details of the circumstances. It could be that the courts would find that the precautions of that nature were just legal cover and therefore find the companies at least partially at fault.
