The house is only a one-bedroom, but the rent is manageable and has plenty of room for Jamie Lee. She decided to give notice to her roommate that she would be leaving the apartment and the shared expenses after the incident with the stolen checkbook and credit cards a few weeks back. Jamie had to dip in to her emergency savings account to help cover the deposit and moving expenses, as she had not planned to move out of the apartment and be on her own this soon. Jamie is in need of a few appliances, as there is a small laundry room, but no washer or dryer, nor is there a refrigerator in the kitchen. She will also need a living room set and a television because the only furniture she currently has is a bedroom suite. Jamie is so excited to finally have the say in how she will furnish the bungalow, and she began shopping for her home as soon as the…
WHAT KIND OF BUSINESS IS THIS? After graduating from college, Shelley Williams held several different jobs but found that she did not enjoy working for other people. Finally, she and Yvonne Hargrove, her college roommate, decided to start a business of their own. They rented a small building and opened a florist shop selling cut flowers such as roses and chrysanthemums that they bought from a local greenhouse. Williams and Hargrove agreed orally to share profits and losses equally, although they also decided to take no money from the operation for at least four months. No other arrangements were made, but the business did reasonably well, and after the first four months had passed, each began to draw out $500 in cash every week. At year-end, they took their financial records to a local accountant so that they could get their income tax returns completed. He informed them that they had been operating as a partnership and that they should draw up formal articles of partnership agreement…

Dylan worked for a propane gas distributor as an accounting clerk in a small Midwestern town. Last winter, his brother Mike lost his job at the machine plant. By January, temperatures were sub-zero, and Mike had run out of money. Dylan saw that Mike’s account was overdue, and he knew Mike needed another delivery to heat his home. He decided to credit Mike’s account and debit the balance to the parts inventory because he knew the parts manager, the owner’s son, was incompetent and would never notice the extra entry. Months went by, and Dylan repeated the process until an auditor ran across the charges by chance. When the owner fired Dylan, he said, “If you had only come to me and told me about Mike’s situation, we could have worked something out.” Requirements What can a business like this do to prevent employee fraud of this kind? What effect would Dylan’s actions have on the balance sheet? The income statement? How much discretion does a business have with regard to accommodating…
