Charles wants to renovate the bathroom and kitchen in his home, and he hires Veronica to do this work. They enter into a contract after agreeing to a cost of $40,000. However, once Veronica starts work, she realizes that it will cost $15,000 extra to complete the work that she promised. To show good faith to Charles, Veronica tells him that she will split the added cost with Charles and asks Charles for an additional $7,500. Charles refuses to pay the additional $7,500, and Veronica threatens to stop work on the renovation.
After fearing that another contractor will probably charge much more, Charles calls Veronica and tells her he’ll pay the additional $7,500. After the renovations are completed, Charles refuses to pay the additional $7,500, despite agreeing to it. Veronica sues Charles. Who wins? Please explain.
Joe sends a check for $218 to the University by July 1 of every year to cover the cost of two tickets for each of the 7 home games plus $50 for a parking permit. Joe has difficulty finding friends to accompany him to the games. However, he is adamant that he must go to the games because he has paid for the tickets.

Required
Write a list to Joe outlining the relevant costs associated with a trip to the game.
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 or consider incorporation or…
