Board of Education? Explain your answer. Answer: The U.S. Supreme Court illustrated flexibility of the law in deciding Brown v. Board of Education in 1954. The Court in Brown v. Board of Education overturned an 1896 U.S. Supreme Court decision, Plessy v. Ferguson, in which the Court had held the separate but equal doctrine to be constitutional.

80) Explain the doctrine of stare decisis and how it has influenced the legal system. Answer: Adherence to precedent is called the doctrine of stare decisis. The doctrine of stare decisis promotes uniformity of law within a jurisdiction, makes the court system more efficient, and makes the law more predictable for individuals and businesses. A court may later change or reverse its legal reasoning if a new case is presented to it and change is warranted. Based on the common law tradition, past court decisions become precedent for deciding future cases. Lower courts must follow the precedent established by higher courts. That is why all federal and state courts in the United States must follow the precedents established by U.S. Supreme Court decisions. The courts of one jurisdiction are not bound by the precedent established by the courts of another jurisdiction, although they may look to each other for guidance.

AACSB: Analytical thinking Classification: Concept 90) Explain the IRAC method of case analysis. Answer: In the study of law, legal cases are usually examined using the IRAC method (an acronym that stands for issue, rule, application, and conclusion) as outlined in the following: I = What is the legal issue in the case? R = What is the rule (law) of the case? A = What is the court's analysis and rationale? C = What was the conclusion or outcome of the case? First, the facts of the case are investigated and understood. Next, the legal issue that is to be answered is identified and succinctly stated. Then the law that is to be applied to the case is identified, read, and understood. Once the facts, law, and legal issue have been stated, critical thinking is used in applying the law to the facts of the case. This requires that the decision maker – whether a judge, juror, or student – analyze, examine, evaluate, interpret, and apply the law to the facts of the case. Last, the critical legal thinker must reach a conclusion and state his or her judgment. Diff: 2 LO: 1.5 Learn what critical legal thinking is and how to apply it to analyzing legal cases.

Answer: One issue that often comes up when parties from different states or countries have a legal dispute is which jurisdiction's court will be used. Also, sometimes there is a dispute as to which jurisdiction's laws apply to a case. When the parties have not agreed in advance, courts must make the decision about which court has jurisdiction and what law applies. This situation causes ambiguity, and resolving it will cost the parties time and money. Therefore, parties sometimes agree in their contract as to what state's courts, what federal court, or what country's court will have jurisdiction to hear a legal dispute should one arise. Such clauses in contracts are called forum-selection clauses or choice-of-forum clauses. Of course, the selected court must have jurisdiction to hear the case. In addition to agreeing to a forum, the parties also often agree in contracts as to what state's law or country's law will apply in resolving a dispute. These clauses are called choice-of-law clauses. The selected law may be of a jurisdiction that does not have jurisdiction to hear the case.

81) Discuss the significance of the Zippo Manufacturing Company v. Zippo Dot Com, Inc. case in terms of jurisdiction in cyberspace. Answer: A seminal case that addressed jurisdiction in cyberspace was Zippo Manufacturing Company v. Zippo Dot Com, Inc. Zippo Manufacturing Company (Zippo) manufacturers its well-known line of tobacco lighters in Bradford, Pennsylvania, and sells them worldwide. Zippo Dot Com, Inc. (Dot Com), which was a California corporation with its principal place of business and its servers located in Sunnyvale, California, operated an Internet website that transmitted information and sexually explicit material to its subscribers. Three thousand of Dot Com's 140,000 paying subscribers worldwide were located in Pennsylvania. Zippo sued Dot Com in U.S. District Court in Pennsylvania for trademark infringement. Dot Com defended, alleging that it was not subject to personal jurisdiction in Pennsylvania because the "minimum contacts" and "traditional notions of fair play and substantial justice" standards were not met and therefore did not permit Pennsylvania to assert jurisdiction over it. The court held that Dot Com was subject to personal jurisdiction under the Pennsylvania longarm statute and ordered Dot Com to defend itself in Pennsylvania. Diff: 1 LO: 2.5 Define standing to sue, jurisdiction, and venue. AACSB: Analytical thinking Classification: Concept 82) Discuss the need and significance of the long-arm statute. Answer: In most states, a state court can obtain jurisdiction in a civil lawsuit over persons and businesses located in another state or country through the state's long-arm statute. These statutes extend a state's jurisdiction to nonresidents who are not served a summons within the state. The nonresident defendant in the civil lawsuit must have had some minimum contact with the state such that the maintenance of that lawsuit in that state does not offend traditional notions of fair play and substantial justice. The exercise of long-arm jurisdiction is generally permitted over nonresidents who have (1) committed torts within the state (e.g., caused an automobile accident in the state), (2) entered into a contract either in the state or that affects the state (and allegedly breached the contract), or (3) transacted other business in the state that allegedly caused injury to another person.

83) Compare and contrast between in rem and quasi in rem jurisdiction. Answer: A court may have jurisdiction to hear and decide a case because it has jurisdiction over the property of the lawsuit. This is called in rem jurisdiction ("jurisdiction over the thing"). Sometimes a plaintiff who obtains a judgment against a defendant in one state will try to collect the judgment by attaching property of the defendant that is located in another state. This is permitted under quasi in rem jurisdiction, or attachment jurisdiction. Under the Full Faith and Credit Clause of the U.S. Constitution (Article IV, Section 1), a judgment of a court of one state must be given "full faith and credit" by the courts of another state.

Business Law, 10e (Cheeseman) Chapter 3 Judicial, Alternative, and E-Dispute Resolution 1) An attorney who receives a percentage of the amount recovered in a personal injury lawsuit, but who receives no compensation whatsoever if the lawsuit is not won or settled in the client's favor, is utilizing what kind of fee arrangement? A) hourly rate B) retainer C) flat fee D) contingency fee Answer: D Diff: 1 LO: 3.1 Describe how attorneys are compensated. AACSB: Analytical thinking Classification: Concept 2) When an attorney and client have entered into a contingency fee arrangement, it is possible that the attorney will receive no compensation at all. Answer: TRUE Diff: 1 LO: 3.1 Describe how attorneys are compensated. AACSB: Analytical thinking Classification: Concept 3) What are the advantages and disadvantages to both client and attorney when entering into a contingency fee agreement for attorney's fees? Answer: A distinct advantage for the client is that no fees are paid up front. When a client is unable to pay an attorney up front, a contingency fee arrangement is ideal. A possible disadvantage to the client is that the attorney generally receives a substantial portion — 35 to 40 percent — of a favorable settlement or award of damages. A client can negotiate the terms or shop law firms in order to enter into an agreeable contract for representation under a contingency fee arrangement. For the attorney, there is a definite downside: The attorney is paid nothing if the lawsuit is not won or settled in the client's favor. The advantages for the attorney are twofold. The attorney can work for clients who would otherwise be unable to pay for representation. Second, the payout has potential to be larger than under the terms of an hourly or flat-fee arrangement.

8) Briefly explain the steps involved in the pretrial litigation process. Answer: To initiate a lawsuit, the plaintiff must file a complaint in the proper court. The complaint names the parties to the lawsuit, alleges the ultimate facts and law violated, and contains a "prayer for relief" for a remedy to be awarded by the court. Following this, the defendant must file an answer to the complaint and can also file a cross-complaint against the plaintiff to claim damages. The plaintiff replies to the defendant's cross complaint. If other persons have an interest in a lawsuit, they may intervene and become parties to the lawsuit. A statute of limitations establishes the period during which a plaintiff must bring a lawsuit against a defendant. If a lawsuit is not filed within this time period, the plaintiff loses his or her right to sue. Diff: 2 LO: 3.2 Describe the pretrial litigation process. AACSB: Analytical thinking Classification: Concept 9) Why are pretrial hearings necessary, especially if both parties have pursued the lawsuit with full knowledge? Answer: One of the major purposes of pretrial hearings is to facilitate the settlement of a case. This saves on legal expenses incurred by both parties. It also helps to save the time of the court, which can be used to pursue other (and more crucial) cases. If no settlement is reached, the pretrial hearing is used to identify the major trial issues and other relevant factors. Diff: 2 LO: 3.2 Describe the pretrial litigation process.

57) A tree falls from Helen Homeowner's property onto the parked car of Nelly Neighbor, who lives next-door to Helen. The car was very valuable and is now a total loss. Both parties agree that the tree was not diseased. They also agree that the tree fell because of an act of nature — an ice storm that had weighed down the tree's limbs. The only question is whether, under applicable state law, the homeowner on whose land the tree grew is liable for the loss or whether the automobile owner must bear the loss for an event caused by an act of nature. Can this case be disposed of prior to trial with a pretrial motion? If so, what pretrial motion would be appropriate in this case? In your answer, discuss whether evidence outside the pleadings could properly be considered. Answer: A motion for summary judgment is appropriate. The parties agree as to the facts of the case.

101) Describe in brief the concepts of electronic dispute resolution, electronic arbitration, and electronic mediation. Answer: Electronic technologies have made it possible to settle disputes online. This is referred to as electronic dispute resolution, or e-dispute resolution. Many ADR providers offer electronic arbitration, or e-arbitration services. Most of these services allow a party to a legal dispute to register the dispute with the service and then notify the other party by e-mail of the registration of the dispute. Most online arbitration, called electronic arbitration or e-arbitration, requires the registering party to submit an amount that the party is willing to accept or pay to the other party in the online arbitration. The other party is afforded the opportunity to accept the offer. If that party accepts the offer, a settlement has been reached; however, the other party may return a counteroffer. The process continues until a settlement is reached or one or both parties remove themselves from the online ADR process. Several websites offer online mediation, called electronic mediation or e-mediation. In an online mediation, the parties sit before their computers and sign on to the website. A chat room is assigned to each party and the mediator, and another is set aside for both parties and the mediator. The individual chat rooms are used for private conversations with the online mediator, and the other chat room is for conversations between both parties and the mediator.

17) How is the federal government divided? Why are checks and balances necessary? Explain with instances. Answer: The federal government is divided into three branches: a. Legislative branch: It is the part of the U.S. government that makes federal laws. It is also known as the Congress (the Senate and the House of Representatives). b. Executive branch: It is the part of the U.S. government that enforces the federal law; it consists of the president and vice president. c. Judicial branch: It is the part of the U.S. government that interprets the law. It consists of the Supreme Court and other federal courts. Checks and balances are built into the Constitution to ensure that no one branch of the federal government becomes too powerful. Examples of some of the checks and balances in the U.S. system of government are as follows: • The judicial branch has the authority to examine the acts of the other two branches of government and determine whether those acts are constitutional. • The executive branch can enter into treaties with foreign governments only with the advice and consent of the Senate. • The legislative branch has the power of impeachment. The House of Representatives can impeach the president for treason, bribery and other crimes, and the Senate has the power to try an impeachment case.

AACSB: Analytical thinking Classification: Concept 18) How is power divided between the federal government and the state governments? Answer: The federal government and the 50 state governments share powers under our system of government called federalism. When the states ratified the Constitution, they delegated certain powers–called enumerated powers–to the federal government. For example, the federal government is authorized to regulate interstate commerce and foreign affairs. Any powers that are not specifically delegated to the federal government by the Constitution are reserved to the state governments. These are called reserved powers. State governments are empowered to deal with local affairs. For example, states enact laws that provide for the formation and regulation of partnerships and corporations. Cities adopt zoning laws that designate certain portions of the city as residential areas and other portions as business and commercial areas.

41) How has the U.S. government regulated commerce with Native Americans? Answer: In general, the United States treats Native Americans as belonging to separate nations, similarly to the way it treats Spain or France; however, it still considers Native Americans "domestic dependent" nations with limited sovereignty. Today, many Native Americans live on reservations set aside for various tribes. In the late 1980s, the federal government authorized Native American tribes to operate gaming facilities. Congress passed the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, a federal statute that establishes the requirements for conducting casino gambling and other gaming activities on tribal land. This act allows Native Americans to negotiate with the states for gaming compacts and ensures that the states do so in good faith. If a state fails to do so, the tribe can bring suit in federal court, forcing the state to comply. Today, casinos operated by Native Americans can be found in many states. Profits from the casinos have become an important source of income for members of certain tribes.

AACSB: Analytical thinking Classification: Concept 42) Why is it unconstitutional for a state government to ban products imported from a foreign country, despite that country engaging in activities not condonable by that state? Answer: The Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution gives the federal government the exclusive power to regulate commerce with foreign nations. This is referred to as the Foreign Commerce Clause. Direct and indirect regulation of foreign commerce by state or local governments that unduly burdens foreign commerce violates the Commerce Clause and is therefore unconstitutional. The federal government could enact a law that forbids another country from doing business in the United States if that country engages in activities that are not condoned by the United States. A state, however, could not enact a law that forbids a foreign country from doing business in that state if that country engages in activities that are not condoned by that state.

59) Distinguish between limited protected speech and unprotected speech as categorized by the U.S. Supreme Court. Answer: Limited protected speech refers to speech that the government may not prohibit but that is subject to time, place, and manner restrictions. Two major forms of limited protected speech are offensive speech and commercial speech. The U.S. Supreme Court has held that certain speech is unprotected speech that is not protected by the First Amendment and may be totally forbidden by the government.

76) The lawfulness of government classifications based on a protected class other than a suspect class or a fundamental right, such as a classification based on gender, is examined using an intermediate scrutiny test. Answer: TRUE Diff: 1 LO: 4.8 Explain the equal protection doctrine and how it protects persons from unequal treatment by the government. AACSB: Analytical thinking Classification: Concept 77) Explain the purpose of the Equal Protection Clause and describe and explain the different levels of judicial scrutiny given to government classifications based on race, gender and age. Answer: The Equal Protection Clause was drafted to guarantee equal rights to all persons. The clause prohibits our government from enacting laws that classify similarly situated persons differently. The Supreme Court has developed a three-tiered system of review for equal protection challenges. When similarly situated persons are classified and treated differently based on a suspect class or fundamental right, the Court will apply strict scrutiny. The government must demonstrate an extremely important reason for classifying and treating persons differently based on a suspect class or fundamental right. Race is a suspect class. When similarly situated persons are classified and treated differently based on a protected class which is not a suspect class or fundamental right, then intermediate scrutiny is applied. Under intermediate scrutiny, the government must demonstrate an important reason for its classification. All other government classifications receive rational basis review. In other words, if the government classification is not based on a suspect class, fundamental right or protected class, then the government classification receives the lowest of the three levels of judicial scrutiny — mere rational basis review. Classifications based on age receive this lowest level of review; the government must only have a justifiable reason for a classification based on age.

38) Explain the torts of appropriation and invasion of the right to privacy with examples. Answer: Any attempt by another person to appropriate a living person's name or identity for commercial purposes is actionable. The wrongdoer is liable for the tort of misappropriation of the right to publicity (also called the tort of appropriation). For example, if an advertising agency places Megan Fox's photo on a billboard advertising a product without her permission, it has engaged in the tort of misappropriation of the right to publicity. The law recognizes each person's right to live his or her life without being subjected to unwarranted and undesired publicity. A violation of this right constitutes the tort of invasion of the right to privacy. If a fact is public information, there is no claim to privacy. Secretly taking photos of another person with a cell phone camera in a men's or women's locker room would constitute invasion of the right to privacy.

84) Explain the doctrine of strict liability with examples. Answer: Strict liability is liability without fault. That is, a participant in a covered activity will be held liable for any injuries caused by the activity, even if he or she was not negligent. This doctrine holds that (1) there are certain activities that can place the public at risk of injury even if reasonable care is taken and (2) the public should have some means of compensation if such injury occurs. Strict liability is imposed for abnormally dangerous activities that cause injury or death. Activities such as crop dusting, blasting, fumigation, burning of fields, storage of explosives, and the keeping of animals and pets are usually considered activities to which strict liability applies.

AACSB: Analytical thinking Classification: Concept 10) Intentional misrepresentation occurs when a seller or lessor affirmatively misrepresents the quality of a product. Answer: TRUE Diff: 1 LO: 6.2 Describe how a defendant is liable for misrepresenting the quality of a product. AACSB: Analytical thinking Classification: Concept 11) Compare the tort doctrines of negligence and misrepresentation. Answer: Negligence requires the defendant to be at fault for causing the plaintiff's injuries. To be successful, the plaintiff must prove that the defendant breached a duty of due care to the plaintiff and thereby caused the plaintiff's injuries. In other words, the plaintiff must prove that the defendant was at fault for causing the plaintiff's injuries. Failure to exercise due care includes failing to assemble a product carefully, negligent product design, negligent inspection or testing of a product, negligent packaging, failure to warn of the dangerous propensities of a product, and such. It is important to note that in a negligence lawsuit only a party who was actually negligent is liable to the plaintiff. A buyer or lessee who is injured because a seller or lessor fraudulently misrepresented the quality of a product can sue the seller for the tort of intentional misrepresentation, or fraud. Recovery is limited to persons who were injured because they relied on the misrepresentation. Intentional misrepresentation occurs when a seller or lessor either (1) affirmatively misrepresents the quality of a product or (2) conceals a defect in it. Because most reputable manufacturers, sellers, and lessors do not intentionally misrepresent the quality of their products, fraud is not often used as the basis for product liability actions.

36) Under a theory of strict liability, who in the chain of distribution may be held strictly liable for injuries caused by a defective product? What public policy considerations are behind the inclusion of all of these parties in the list of possible defendants? Answer: All parties in the chain of distribution of a defective product are strictly liable for injuries caused by that product. Manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers, retailers, lessors, and subcomponent manufacturers can all be assessed liability. There are several public policy considerations behind the breadth of the list. First, plaintiff will have more parties from whom to recover damages for injuries. This is very important when the negligent party has gone out of business or has no money to pay a judgment. Second, there is a presumption that sellers and lessors insure against the risk of a strict liability lawsuit and spread the cost to their consumers by raising product prices.

Answer: FALSE Diff: 1 LO: 6.6 Describe defects in design. AACSB: Analytical thinking Classification: Concept 51) Describe how courts can evaluate the adequacy of a product's design. Answer: In evaluating the adequacy of a product's design, a court may apply a risk-utility analysis. This requires the court to consider the gravity of the danger posed by the design, the likelihood that injury will occur, the availability and cost of producing a safer alternative design, the social utility of the product, and other factors. Some courts apply a consumer expectation test, which requires a showing that the product is more dangerous than the ordinary consumer would expect. Diff: 2 LO: 6.6 Describe defects in design. AACSB: Analytical thinking Classification: Concept 52) What is the purpose of the crashworthiness doctrine? Answer: Sometimes, when an automobile is involved in an accident, the driver or passengers are not injured by the blow itself. Instead, they are injured when their bodies strike something inside their own automobile (e.g., the dashboard, the steering wheel). This is commonly referred to as the "second collision." The courts have held that automobile manufacturers are under a duty to design automobiles to take into account the possibility of this second collision. This is called the crashworthiness doctrine.

17) Give an account of the Economic Espionage Act and its importance in combating cyber piracy. Answer: Congress enacted the federal Economic Espionage Act (EEA), which makes it a federal crime to steal another's trade secrets. Under the EEA, it is a federal crime for any person to convert a trade secret to his or her benefit or for the benefit of others, knowing or intending that the act would cause injury to the owner of the trade secret. One of the major reasons for the passage of the EEA was to address the ease of stealing trade secrets through computer espionage and using the Internet. Confidential information can be downloaded onto a CD or Flash drive, placed in a pocket, and taken from the legal owner. Computer hackers can crack into a company's computers and steal customer lists, databases, formulas, and other trade secrets. The EEA is a very important weapon in addressing computer and Internet espionage and penalizing those who commit it. The EEA provides for severe criminal penalties. The act imposes prison terms on individuals of up to fifteen years per criminal violation. Diff: 2 LO: 7.2 Define trade secret and describe the misappropriation of a trade secret.

82) Explain what a generic name is with reference to trademarks. Answer: Once a company has been granted a trademark or service mark, the company usually uses the mark as a brand name to promote its goods or services. The owner of the mark wants to promote its brand so that consumers and users will easily recognize the brand name. However, sometimes a company may be too successful in promoting a mark, and at some point in time, the public begins to use the brand name as a common name to denote the type of product or service being sold rather than as the trademark or service mark of the individual seller. A trademark that becomes a common term for a product line or type of service is called a generic name. Once a trademark becomes a generic name, the term loses its protection under federal trademark law.

56) Give an account of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) in business law. Answer: Organized crime has a pervasive influence on many parts of the U.S. economy. To combat this activity, Congress enacted the Organized Crime Control Act. The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) is part of this act. Originally, RICO was intended to apply only to organized crime. However, the broad language of its statute has been used against non-organized crime defendants as well. RICO, which provides for both criminal and civil penalties, is one of the most important laws affecting business today. RICO makes it a federal crime to acquire or maintain an interest in, use income from, or conduct or participate in the affairs of an enterprise through a pattern of racketeering activity. Business-related crimes, such as bribery, embezzlement, mail fraud, and wire fraud, are also considered racketeering. RICO provides for the forfeiture of any property or business interests that were gained because of its violations. This provision allows the government to recover investments made with monies derived from racketeering activities. Persons injured by a RICO violation can bring a private civil RICO action against the violator to recover damages for injury to business or property. Diff: 3 LO: 8.5 Identify and describe business and white-collar crimes. AACSB: Analytical thinking Classification: Concept 57) Discuss mail fraud and wire fraud. Answer: Federal law prohibits the use of mail or wires—telephone, television, radio, computer– to defraud another person. These crimes are called mail fraud and wire fraud, respectively. The government often includes these crimes in a criminal charge against a defendant who is charged with committing another crime but who also used the mail or wires to further his or her crime. Sometimes the government prosecutes a suspect under these statutes if there is insufficient evidence to prove the real crime that the criminal was attempting to commit or did commit. Persons convicted of mail or wire fraud are subject to imprisonment and the imposition of monetary fines. Diff: 1 LO: 8.5 Identify and describe business and white-collar crimes.

Answer: FALSE Diff: 1 LO: 8.6 List and describe cybercrimes. AACSB: Analytical thinking Classification: Concept 62) Discuss identity theft as a cybercrime. Answer: In identity theft — or ID theft — one person steals information about another person to pose as that person and take the innocent person's money or property or to purchase goods and services using the victim's credit information. To commit ID theft, thieves obtain certain information about the victim. This could be the victim's name, Social Security number, credit card numbers, bank account information, and other personal information. With the use of computers, criminals can obtain the information they need to commit ID theft more easily. Credit card fraud is one of the crimes most commonly committed by ID thieves. To address the growing problem of ID theft, Congress enacted the Identity Theft and Assumption Deterrence Act. This statute makes it a federal crime to transfer or use, without authority, the identity of another person knowingly and with the intent to commit any unlawful activity as defined by federal law and state and local felony laws. Violators can be sentenced to prison for up to 15 years and have any property used in the commission of ID theft forfeited to the government. Diff: 2 LO: 8.6 List and describe cybercrimes.

14) Describe three major sources of contract law in the United States. Answer: Three sources of contract law are the common law of contracts, the Uniform Commercial Code, and the Restatement (Second) of Contracts. Common law of contracts developed from early court decisions that became precedent for later decisions. There is limited federal common law of contracts, but a large body of state common law of contracts exists. Although the general principles remain the same throughout the country, there is some variation from state to state. The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), first drafted by the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws in 1952, has been amended several times. Its goal is to create a uniform system of commercial law among the fifty states. The provisions of the UCC normally take precedence over the common law of contracts. Every state has adopted at least part of the UCC. In 1932, the American Law Institute, a group comprised of law professors, judges, and lawyers, completed the Restatement of the Law of Contracts, a compilation of contract law principles as agreed upon by the drafters. The Restatement, currently in its second edition, is not law; however, lawyers and judges often refer to it for guidance in contract disputes because of its stature.

Answer: TRUE Diff: 1 LO: 9.3 Explain the objective theory of contracts. AACSB: Analytical thinking Classification: Concept 19) Explain the objective theory of contracts. In your answer, provide an example of an offer that would not result in a valid contract. Answer: The intent to enter into a contract is determined using the objective theory of contracts. Under this theory, the proper consideration is whether a reasonable person viewing the circumstances would conclude that the parties intended to be legally bound. For example, the statement "I will buy your building for $2 million" is a valid offer because it indicates the offeror's present intent to contract. On the other hand, consider this scenario: A frustrated business owner of Company A has lunch with the owner of Company B and, in the course of their conversation, Company A's owner exclaims in frustration, "For $200, I'd sell the whole computer division!"

51) A contract that has been fully performed by both sides is called an executory contract. Answer: FALSE Diff: 1 LO: 9.4 List and describe the classifications of contracts. AACSB: Analytical thinking Classification: Concept 52) Compare valid, void, voidable, and unenforceable contracts. Answer: 1. Valid contract. A valid contract meets all the essential elements to establish a contract. In other words, it (a) consists of an agreement between the parties, (b) is supported by legally sufficient consideration, (c) is between parties with contractual capacity, and (d) accomplishes a lawful object. A valid contract is enforceable by at least one of the parties. 2. Void contract. A void contract has no legal effect. It is as if no contract had ever been created. A contract to commit a crime is void. If a contract is void, neither party is obligated to perform the contract and neither party can enforce the contract. 3. Voidable contract. A voidable contract is a contract in which at least one party has the option to void his or her contractual obligations. If the contract is voided, both parties are released from their obligations under the contract. If the party with the option chooses to ratify the contract, both parties must fully perform their obligations. 4. Unenforceable contract. With an unenforceable contract, there is some legal defense to the enforcement of the contract. If a contract is required to be in writing under the Statute of Frauds but is not, the contract is unenforceable. Diff: 2 LO: 9.4 List and describe the classifications of contracts. AACSB: Analytical thinking Classification: Concept 53) What are the possible problems that can come up in a unilateral contract? Answer: In a unilateral contract, problems arise if the offeror attempts to revoke an offer after the offeree has begun performance. Generally, an offer to create a unilateral contract can be revoked by the offeror any time prior to the offeree's performance of the requested act. However, the offer cannot be revoked if the offeree has begun or has substantially completed performance. Diff: 2 LO: 9.4 List and describe the classifications of contracts.

66) An implied-in-law contract is a contract in which agreement between parties has been inferred from their conduct. Answer: FALSE Diff: 1 LO: 9.5 Describe and distinguish between express and implied contracts. AACSB: Analytical thinking Classification: Concept 67) How are unjust enrichment and unjust detriment prevented, in the context of contracts? Answer: The doctrine of quasi-contract is intended to prevent unjust enrichment and unjust detriment. It allows a court to award monetary damages to a plaintiff for providing work or services to a defendant even though no actual contract existed between the parties. Recovery is generally based on the reasonable value of the services received by the defendant. It does not apply where there is an enforceable contract between the parties. A quasi-contract is imposed where (1) one person confers a benefit on another, who retains the benefit, and (2) it would be unjust not to require that person to pay for the benefit received.

Answer: Equity is a doctrine that permits judges to make decisions based on fairness, equality, moral rights, and natural law. Equity is resorted to when (1) an award of money damages "at law" would not be the proper remedy or (2) fairness requires the application of equitable principles. Today, in most states of the United States, the courts of law and equity have been merged into one court.

The UCITA establishes uniform legal rules for the formation and enforcement of electronic contracts and licenses. The UCITA addresses most of the legal issues that are encountered while conducting e-commerce over the Internet. The widespread use of e-contracts globally has led to a need for uniform laws to govern transactions and protect consumers.

15) Give an account of the express terms that are parts of an offer. Answer: The terms of an offer must be clear enough for the offeree to be able to decide whether to accept or reject the terms of the offer. To be considered definite, an offer generally must contain the following terms: (1) identification of the parties, (2) identification of the subject matter and quantity, (3) consideration to be paid, and (4) time of performance. Complex contracts usually state additional terms. Most offers and contracts set forth express terms that identify the parties, the subject matter of the contract, the consideration to be paid by the parties, and the time of performance, as well as other terms of the offer and contract. If the terms are indefinite, the courts usually cannot enforce the contract or determine an appropriate remedy for its breach.

Accordingly, courts can supply some missing terms. What terms might be supplied? What terms CANNOT usually be implied? Answer: A court can supply a missing term if a reasonable term can be implied. The definition of reasonable depends on the circumstances. Generally, time of performance can be implied. Price can be implied if there is a market or source from which to determine the price of the item or service (e.g., the Carfax or Kelley Blue Book for a used automobile price).

33) Explain the difference between an auction with reserve and an auction without reserve. If not specified, which is the default form of auction? Answer: In an auction, the seller offers goods for sale through an auctioneer. Unless otherwise expressly stated, an auction is considered an auction with reserve, that is, it is an invitation to make an offer. The seller retains the right to refuse the highest bid and withdraw the goods from sale. A contract is formed only when the auctioneer strikes the gavel down or indicates acceptance by some other means. The bidder may withdraw the bid prior to that time. If an auction is expressly announced to be an auction without reserve, the participants reverse the roles: The seller is the offeror, and the bidders are the offerees. The seller must accept the highest bid and cannot withdraw the goods from sale. However, if the auctioneer has set a minimum bid that it will accept, the auctioneer has to sell the item only if the highest bid is equal to or greater than the minimum bid.

79) Explain the importance of "time of acceptance" of contracts. Answer: Under the common law of contracts, acceptance of a bilateral contract occurs when the offeree dispatches the acceptance by an authorized means of communication. This rule is called the acceptance-upon-dispatch rule or, more commonly, the mailbox rule. Under this rule, the acceptance is effective when it is dispatched, even if it is lost in transmission. If an offeree first dispatches a rejection and then sends an acceptance, the mailbox rule does not apply to the acceptance. The problem of lost acceptances can be minimized by expressly altering the mailbox rule. The offeror can do this by stating in the offer that acceptance is effective only upon actual receipt of the acceptance. Diff: 2 LO: 10.6 Define acceptance and apply the mirror image rule. AACSB: Analytical thinking Classification: Concept 80) Explain implied and express authorizations. Answer: An acceptance must be properly dispatched. The acceptance must be properly addressed, packaged in an appropriate envelope or container, and have prepaid postage or delivery charges. Most offers do not expressly specify the means of communication required for acceptance. The common law recognizes certain implied means of communication. Implied authorization may be inferred from what is customary in similar transactions, usage of trade, or prior dealings between the parties. An offer can stipulate that acceptance must be by a specified means of communication. Such stipulation is called express authorization. If the offeree uses an unauthorized means of communication to transmit the acceptance, the acceptance is not effective, even if it is received by the offeror within the allowed time period, because the means of communication was a condition of acceptance.

45) Explain the preexisting duty principle in private sector contracts. Answer: In the private sector, the preexisting duty rule often arises when one of the parties to an existing contract seeks to change the terms of the contract during the course of its performance. Such midstream changes are unenforceable: The parties have a preexisting duty to perform according to the original terms of the contract. Sometimes a party to a contract runs into substantial unforeseen difficulties while performing his or her contractual duties. If the parties modify their contract to accommodate these unforeseen difficulties, the modification will be enforced even though it is not supported by new consideration.

31) Describe the infancy doctrine with reference to legal contracts. Answer: Minors do not always have the maturity, experience, or sophistication needed to enter into contracts with adults. To protect minors, the law recognizes the infancy doctrine, which gives minors the right to disaffirm most contracts they have entered into with adults. This right is based on public policy, which reasons that minors should be protected from the unscrupulous behavior of adults. Under the infancy doctrine, a minor has the option of choosing whether to enforce a contract. The adult party is bound to the minor's decision. If both parties to a contract are minors, both parties have the right to disaffirm the contract. Diff: 2 LO: 12.1 Define and describe the infancy doctrine. AACSB: Analytical thinking Classification: Concept 32) What is the minor's duty of restoration in a disaffirmed contract? Answer: Generally, a minor is obligated only to return the goods or property he or she has received from the adult in the condition it is in at the time of disaffirmance, even if the item has been consumed, lost, or destroyed or has depreciated in value by the time of disaffirmance. This rule, called the duty of restoration, is based on the rationale that if a minor had to place the adult in status quo upon disaffirmance of a contract, there would be no incentive for an adult not to deal with a minor.

Answer: FALSE Diff: 1 LO: 12.2 Define legal insanity and explain how it can affect contractual capacity. AACSB: Analytical thinking Classification: Concept 44) What is legal insanity? Answer: The law protects people suffering from substantial mental incapacity from enforcement of contracts against them because such persons may not understand the consequences of their actions in entering into a contract. To be relieved of his or her duties under a contract, a person must have been legally insane at the time of entering into the contract. This state is called legal insanity. The person's mental incapacity must render that person incapable of understanding or comprehending the nature of the transaction. Mental incapacity may arise because of mental illness, brain damage, mental retardation, senility, and the like. Mere weakness of intellect, slight psychological or emotional problems, or delusions does not constitute legal insanity.

78) Ashley's employment contract contains a covenant not to compete. It states that when she leaves her current employment, she must not work in a similar business or start a similar business in Georgia, Alabama or Florida for a period of twelve years. If Ashley leaves her current job, could her employer enforce this covenant not to compete? Why or why not? Answer: No, the noncompete clause would not be enforceable. Employers often do not want an employee who resigns or is terminated to work in a position that competes with the employer for a certain length of time after the employee is gone. Noncompete clauses are common and often enforceable, but three things must be reasonable: (1) the line of business protected, (2) the geographic area protected, and (3) the duration of the restriction. A covenant that is found to be unreasonable is not enforceable as written. If a covenant not to compete is unreasonable, the courts may either refuse to enforce it or change it so that it is reasonable. In Ashley's case, the restriction based on line of business is unclear ("similar business"), thus unreasonably broad. Both the time and geographic area are also unreasonable.

Answer: A mistake occurs where one or both of the parties to a contract have an erroneous belief about the subject matter, value, or some other aspect of the contract. Mistakes may be either unilateral or mutual. A unilateral mistake is a mistake in which only one party is mistaken about a material fact regarding the subject matter of a contract. In most cases of unilateral mistake, the mistaken party will not be permitted to rescind the contract. The contract will be enforced on its terms. Mutual mistake of a material fact is a mistake made by both parties concerning a material fact that is important to the subject matter of a contract. If there has been a mutual mistake, the contract may be rescinded on the grounds that no contract has been formed because there has been no "meeting of the minds" between the parties. A mutual mistake of value exists if both parties know the object of the contract but are mistaken as to its value. Here, the contract remains enforceable by either party because the identity of the subject matter of the contract is not at issue.

38) Sally entered into a contract to purchase a car at Acme Auto Sales. During a sales pitch, the Acme salesperson told Sally that the automobile was in excellent condition and that she could expect to drive it for many years because of its extremely low mileage. The odometer on the automobile read 10,000 miles. A week after her car purchase, Sally took the car to a trusted mechanic to get the engine checked out. The mechanic inspected the engine and told Sally that the car had many more miles on it than the odometer indicated. The mechanic told Sally that she had undoubtedly been the victim of odometer rollback. What kind of fraud (intentional misrepresentation) was likely committed? Why? What are the required elements of fraud and were all of these elements present in this scenario? Answer: Fraud in the inducement was likely committed. Here, the innocent party (Sally) knew what she was signing, but she had been fraudulently induced to enter into the contract. The elements of fraud are: 1. The wrongdoer made a false representation of material fact. 2. The wrongdoer intended to deceive the innocent party. 3. The innocent party justifiably relied on the misrepresentation. 4. The innocent party was injured. In Sally's case, the wrongdoer made a false representation of the car's mileage which is a material fact. To prove that a person intended to deceive an innocent party, the person making the misrepresentation must have either had knowledge that the representation was false or made it without sufficient knowledge of the truth. The auto dealer either knew the odometer had been rolled back or made the statement without sufficient knowledge. Sally justifiably relied on the salesperson's statements and was injured.

Answer: TRUE Diff: 1 LO: 13.5 Define the equitable doctrine of undue influence. AACSB: Analytical thinking Classification: Concept 82) Explain undue influence with an example. Answer: Undue influence occurs when one person (the dominant party) takes advantage of another person's mental, emotional, or physical weakness and unduly persuades that person (the servient party) to enter into a contract. The persuasion by the wrongdoer must overcome the free will of the innocent party. A contract that is entered into because of undue influence is voidable by the innocent party. Example: Mr. Johnson, who is 70 years old, has a stroke and is partially paralyzed. He is required to use a wheelchair, and he needs constant nursing care. Prior to his stroke, Mr. Johnson had executed a will, leaving his property upon his death equally to his four grandchildren. Edward, a licensed nurse, is hired to care for Mr. Johnson on a daily basis, and Mr. Johnson relies on Edward's care. Edward works for Mr. Johnson for two years before Mr. Johnson passes away. It is later discovered that Mr. Johnson had executed a written contract with Edward three months before he died, deeding a valuable piece of real estate to Edward. If it is shown that Edward has used his dominant and fiduciary position to unduly influence Mr. Johnson to enter into this contract, then the contract is invalid. If no undue influence is shown, the contract with Edward is valid, and Edward will receive the property deeded to him by Mr. Johnson.

44) Explain the creation and working of guaranty contracts. Answer: A guaranty contract occurs when one person agrees to answer for the debts or duties of another person. Guaranty contracts are required to be in writing under the Statute of Frauds. In a guaranty situation, there are at least three parties and two contracts. The first contract, which is known as the original contract, or primary contract, is between the debtor and the creditor. It does not have to be in writing (unless another provision of the Statute of Frauds requires it to be). The second contract, called the guaranty contract, is between the person who agrees to pay the debt if the primary debtor does not (i.e., the guarantor) and the original creditor. The guarantor's liability is secondary because it does not arise unless the party primarily liable fails to perform.

AACSB: Analytical thinking Classification: Concept 54) Why is it a bad idea for Edward and his landlord to make an oral lease contract for $30,000? Suggest an alternative and explain how it is beneficial to an oral contract. Answer: It is a bad idea for Edward and his landlord to make an oral lease contract for $30,000 as such a contract is vulnerable to fraud. Instead, they must create a written contract in accordance to Section 2A-201(1) of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), which is the Statute of Frauds provision that applies to the lease of goods. It states that lease contracts involving payments of $1,000 or more must be in writing. If a lease payment of an original lease contract is less than $1,000, it does not have to be in writing under the UCC Statute of Frauds. However, if a modification of the lease contract increases the lease payment to $1,000 or more, the modification has to be in writing to be enforceable.

Answer: TRUE Diff: 2 LO: 14.3 Describe and apply the equitable doctrine of part performance. AACSB: Analytical thinking Classification: Concept 59) Tom and Jerry agreed orally that Tom would sell his condominium to Jerry. It was agreed that Jerry would pay Tom $1,000 per month for 8 years as well as paying property taxes and maintenance costs for the condominium. Four years into the arrangement, the condominium had increased in value significantly, and Tom wanted to rescind the oral agreement. What doctrine could be applied by a court to reach justice? Explain the doctrine. Answer: The applicable doctrine, an exception to the Statute of Frauds' writing requirement, is the doctrine of part performance. If an oral contract for the sale of land or transfer of other interests in real property has been partially performed, it may not be possible to return the parties to their status quo. To solve this problem, the courts have developed the equitable doctrine of part performance. This doctrine allows the court to order such an oral contract to be specifically performed if performance is necessary to avoid injustice. In the case of Tom and Jerry, Jerry had paid part of the purchase price and had taken possession of the property. The doctrine of part performance would allow a court to enforce the oral agreement between Tom and Jerry. Diff: 2 LO: 14.3 Describe and apply the equitable doctrine of part performance.

Answer: FALSE Diff: 1 LO: 14.4 Describe the formality of written contracts. AACSB: Analytical thinking Classification: Concept 72) How are contract words and terms interpreted? Answer: If the parties have not defined the words and terms of a contract, the courts apply the following standards of interpretation: 1. Ordinary words are given their usual meaning according to the dictionary. 2. Technical words are given their technical meaning, unless a different meaning is clearly intended. 3. Specific terms are presumed to qualify general terms. For example, if a provision in a contract refers to the subject matter as "corn," but a later provision refers to the subject matter as "feed corn" for cattle, this specific term qualifies the general term. 4. If both parties are members of the same trade or profession, words will be given their meaning as used in the trade (i.e., usage of trade). If the parties do not want trade usage to apply, the contract must indicate that. 5. Where a preprinted form contract is used, typed words in a contract prevail over preprinted words. Handwritten words prevail over both preprinted and typed words. 6. If there is an ambiguity in a contract, the ambiguity will be resolved against the party who drafted the contract.

38) What happens when an obligor does not get a notice of assignment? Answer: When an assignor makes an assignment of a right under a contract, the assignee is under a duty to notify the obligor that (1) the assignment has been made and (2) performance must be rendered to the assignee. If the assignee fails to provide notice of assignment to the obligor, the obligor may continue to render performance to the assignor, who no longer has a right to it. The assignee cannot sue the obligor to recover payment because the obligor has performed according to the original contract. The assignee's only course of action is to sue the assignor for damages.

Answer: FALSE Diff: 1 LO: 16.1 Describe complete, substantial, and inferior performance of contractual duties. AACSB: Analytical thinking Classification: Concept 22) Distinguish minor breach from material breach. Answer: A minor breach occurs when a party renders substantial performance of his or her contractual duties. In other words, it occurs when a party to a contract renders performance that deviates slightly from complete performance. The nonbreaching party may try to convince the breaching party to elevate his or her performance to complete performance. If the breaching party does not correct the breach, the nonbreaching party can sue to recover damages. A material breach of a contract occurs when a party renders inferior performance of his or her contractual obligations that impairs or destroys the essence of the contract. Where there has been a material breach of contract, the nonbreaching party may rescind the contract and seek restitution of any compensation paid under the contract to the breaching party. The nonbreaching party is discharged from any further performance under the contract. Alternatively, the nonbreaching party may treat the contract as being in effect and sue the breaching party to recover damages.

The act (1) prohibits spammers from using falsified headers in e-mail messages, including the originating domain name and e-mail address; (2) prohibits deceptive subject lines that mislead a recipient about the contents or subject matter of the message; (3) requires that recipients of spam be given the opportunity to opt out and not have the spammer send e-mail to the recipient's address; and (4) requires spammers who send sexually oriented e-mail to properly label it as such. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), a federal administrative agency, is empowered to enforce the CAN-SPAM Act. In effect, the CAN-SPAM Act does not end spam but instead approves businesses to use spam as long as they do not lie.

35) How does an electronic agent react to a counteroffer? Explain with an illustration. Answer: Most web pages use electronic ordering systems that do not have the ability to evaluate and accept counteroffers or to make counteroffers. Most state laws recognize this limitation and provide that an e-contract is formed if an individual takes action that causes the electronic agent to cause performance or promise benefits to the individual. Thus, counteroffers are not effective against electronic agents. Example: Fred orders an mp3 player from an online shopping site. He selects the model and pays via online banking. After ordering on the website, Fred sends an e-mail to the manufacturer stating, "I will accept the product I ordered if, after two weeks of use, I am satisfied with the product." However, because Fred has placed the order with an electronic agent, he has ordered the product, and his counteroffer is ineffectual. Diff: 2 LO: 17.3 Describe electronic commerce and Web contracts.

There is no breach of contract unless the parties fail to meet these terms. Recognizing that certain situations may develop that are not expressly provided for in a contract and that strict adherence to the terms of a contract without doing more may not be sufficient to accomplish the contract's objective, the UCC adopts two broad principles that govern the performance of sales and lease contracts: good faith and reasonableness. The term commercial reasonableness is used to establish certain duties of merchants under the UCC. Diff: 1 LO: 20.1 Describe seller and lessor performance of sales and lease contracts.

AACSB: Analytical thinking Classification: Concept 32) Explain how payments are made for contracts under the UCC? Answer: Goods that are accepted must be paid for. Unless the parties to a contract agree otherwise, payment is due from a buyer when and where the goods are delivered, even if the place of delivery is the same as the place of shipment. Buyers often purchase goods on credit extended by the seller. Unless the parties agree to other terms, the credit period begins to run from the time the goods are shipped. A lessee must pay lease payments in accordance with the lease contract. The goods can be paid for in any manner currently acceptable in the ordinary course of business unless the seller demands payment in cash or unless the contract names a specific form of payment. If the seller requires cash payment, the buyer must be given an extension of time necessary to procure the cash. If the buyer pays by check, payment is conditional on the check being honored when it is presented to the bank for payment.

6) Negotiable instruments help in creating a credit economy. Answer: TRUE Diff: 1 LO: 22.1 Define negotiable instrument and describe the functions of negotiable instruments. AACSB: Analytical thinking Classification: Concept 7) List and briefly explain the functions of a negotiable instrument. Answer: Negotiable instruments serve the following functions: 1. Substitute for money. Merchants and consumers often do not carry cash for fear of loss or theft. Thus, certain forms of negotiable instruments—such as checks—serve as substitutes for money. 2. Act as credit devices. Some forms of negotiable instruments extend credit from one party to another. A seller may sell goods to a customer on a customer's promise to pay for the goods at a future time, or a bank may lend money to a buyer who signs a note promising to repay the money. 3. Act as record-keeping devices. Negotiable instruments often serve as record-keeping devices. Banks may return canceled checks to checking account customers each month or allow customers to view them online. These act as a record-keeping device for the preparation of financial statements, tax returns, and the like.

70) Instruments that are payable upon an uncertain act or event are not negotiable. Answer: TRUE Diff: 1 LO: 22.3 Identify and describe the requirements for creating a negotiable instrument. AACSB: Analytical thinking Classification: Concept 71) How does an authorized representative's signature work for negotiable instruments? Answer: A maker or drawer can appoint an agent to sign a negotiable instrument on his or her behalf. In such circumstances, the representative's signature binds the maker or drawer. A maker or drawer is liable on a negotiable instrument signed by an authorized agent. The agent is not personally liable on the negotiable instrument if his or her signature properly unambiguously discloses his or her agency status and the identity of the maker or drawer. In the case of an organization, the agent's signature is proper if the organization's name is preceded or followed by the name of the authorized agent. Diff: 1 LO: 22.3 Identify and describe the requirements for creating a negotiable instrument. AACSB: Analytical thinking Classification: Concept 72) Explain the requirement for a fixed amount in negotiable instruments? Answer: To be negotiable, an instrument must contain a promise or an order to pay a fixed amount of money. The fixed amount requirement ensures that the value of the instrument can be determined with certainty. The principal amount of the instrument must appear on the face of the instrument. An instrument does not have to be payable with interest, but if it is, the amount of interest being charged may be expressed as either a fixed or variable rate. The amount or rate of interest may be stated or described in the instrument or may require reference to information not contained in the instrument. If an instrument provides for interest but the amount of interest cannot be determined from the description, interest is payable at the judgment rate (legal rate) in effect at the place of payment of the instrument.

79) A nonnegotiable contract is rendered either nontransferable or unenforceable. Answer: FALSE Diff: 1 LO: 22.5 Distinguish between a nonnegotiable instrument and a negotiable instrument. AACSB: Analytical thinking Classification: Concept 80) What are nonnegotiable contracts? Answer: If a promise or an order to pay does not meet one of the requirements of negotiability, it is a nonnegotiable contract and is therefore not subject to the provisions of Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) Article 3. A promise or an order that conspicuously states that it is not negotiable or is not subject to Article 3 is not a negotiable instrument and is therefore a nonnegotiable contract. A nonnegotiable contract is not rendered either nontransferable or unenforceable. A nonnegotiable contract can be enforced under normal contract law. If the maker or drawer of a nonnegotiable contract fails to pay it, the holder of the contract can sue the nonperforming party for breach of contract.

AACSB: Analytical thinking Classification: Concept 5) The transfer of rights under a nonnegotiable contract is known as an assignment. Answer: TRUE Diff: 1 LO: 23.1 Describe how a nonnegotiable contract is transferred by assignment. AACSB: Analytical thinking Classification: Concept 6) Explain the transfer of nonnegotiable contracts by assignment. Answer: An assignment is the transfer of rights under a contract. It transfers the rights of the transferor to the transferee. Because normal contract principles apply, the assignee acquires only the rights that the assignor possessed. Thus, any defenses to the enforcement of the contract that could have been raised against the assignor can also be raised against the assignee. A nonnegotiable contract is a contract that lacks one or more of the requirements to be a negotiable instrument. An assignment occurs when a nonnegotiable contract is transferred. In the case of a negotiable instrument, assignment occurs when the instrument is transferred but the transfer fails to qualify as a negotiation under Article 3 of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC). In this case, the transferee is an assignee rather than a holder. Diff: 1 LO: 23.1 Describe how a nonnegotiable contract is transferred by assignment.

The signature may appear alone, name an individual to whom the instrument is to be paid, or be accompanied by other. The person who indorses an instrument is called the indorser. If the indorsement names a payee, this person is called the indorsee. An indorsement is usually placed on the reverse side of the instrument, such as on the back of a check. If there is no room on the instrument, the indorsement may be written on a separate piece of paper called an allonge. The allonge must be affixed to the instrument.

21) Briefly explain certified checks. Answer: When a bank certifies a check, it agrees in advance (1) to accept the check when it is presented for payment and (2) to pay the check out of funds set aside from the customer's account and either placed in a special certified check account or held in the customer's account. Certified checks do not become stale. Thus, they are payable at any time from the date they are issued. A check is a certified check when the bank writes or stamps the word "certified" across the face of an ordinary check. The certification should also contain the date, the amount being certified, and the name and title of the person at the bank who certifies the check. Note that a bank is not obligated to certify a check. A bank's refusal to do so is not a dishonor of a check. The drawer cannot stop payment on a certified check.

48) What are altered checks? What are the actions that a bank can take when it encounters a case of check alteration? Answer: Sometimes a check is altered before it is presented for payment. This is an unauthorized change in the check that modifies the legal obligation of a party. The payer bank can dishonor an altered check if it discovers the alteration. If the payer bank pays the altered check, it can charge the drawer's account for the original tenor of the check but not the altered amount. If the payer bank has paid the altered amount, it can recover the difference between the altered amount and the original tenor from the party who presented the altered check for payment. This is because the presenter of the check for payment and each prior transferor warrant that the check has not been altered. This is called the presentment warranty. If there has been an alteration, each party in the chain of collection can recover from the preceding transferor based on a breach of this warranty. The ultimate loss usually falls on the party that first paid the altered check because that party was in the best position to identify the alteration. The forger is liable for the difference between the original tenor and the altered amount–if he or she can be found and is not judgment proof.

24) In a three-party secured transaction, the party that purchases the goods or services is known as the buyer-secured creditor. Answer: FALSE Diff: 1 LO: 27.1 Define secured transaction and describe Revised Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC). AACSB: Analytical thinking Classification: Concept 25) What is a secured transaction? Answer: Most lenders take a security interest in either the item purchases or some other personal property of the debtor because they are reluctant to lend large sums of money simple on the borrower's promise to repay. The property in which a security interest is taken is called collateral. When a creditor extends credit to a debtor and takes a security interest in some property of the debtor, it is called a secured transaction. If the debtor does not pay the debt, the creditor can foreclose on and recover the collateral. Diff: 1 LO: 27.1 Define secured transaction and describe Revised Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC). AACSB: Analytical thinking Classification: Concept 26) Distinguish between two-party and three-party secured transactions, and provide some examples. Answer: Two-party secure transactions occur, for example, when a seller sells goods to a buyer on credit and retains a security interest in the goods. Students' examples may vary. Example: A farmer purchases equipment on credit from a farm equipment dealer. The dealer retains a security interest in the farm equipment that becomes collateral for the loan. This is a two-party secured transaction. The farmer is the buyer-debtor and the farm equipment dealer is the seller-lender-secured creditor. A three-party secured transaction arises when a seller sells goods to a buyer who has obtained financing from a third-party lender (e.g., bank) and the third-party lender takes a security interest in the goods. Example: A business purchases an airplane from an airplane manufacturer. The business obtains a loan to purchase the airplane from a bank, which obtains a security interest in the airplane. The airplane manufacturer is paid for the airplane out of the proceeds of the loan. This is a three-party secured transaction. The airplane manufacturer is the seller, the purchasing business is the buyerdebtor, and the bank is the lender-secured creditor.

Answer: A financing statement is a document filed by a secured creditor with the appropriate government office that constructively notifies the world of his or her security interest in personal property. Often, a creditor's physical possession of collateral is impractical because it would deprive the debtor of use of the collateral (e.g., farm equipment, industrial machinery, consumer goods). At other times, it is simply impossible (e.g., accounts receivable). Filing a financing statement in the appropriate government office is the most common method of perfecting a creditor's security interest in such collateral. This is called perfection by filing a financing statement. Diff: 2 LO: 27.3 Describe the perfection of a security interest through the filing of a financing statement and other means.

66) Explain the priority of claims for secured and unsecured transactions. Answer: Two or more creditors often claim an interest in the same collateral or property. The priority of the claims is determined according to (1) whether the claim is unsecured or secured and (2) the time at which secured claims were attached or perfected. The UCC establishes rules for determining priority of claims of creditors. The UCC rules for establishing priority of claims are as follows: 1. A creditor who has the only secured interest in the debtor's collateral has priority over unsecured interests. 2. If two or more secured parties claim an interest in the same collateral but neither has a perfected claim, the first to attach has priority. 3. If two or more secured parties claim an interest in the same collateral but only one has perfected his or her security interest, the perfected security interest has priority. 4. If two or more secured parties have perfected security interests in the same collateral, the first to perfect (e.g., by filing a financing statement, by taking possession of the collateral) has priority. 5. If a security interest in goods is perfected but the goods are later commingled with other goods in which there are also perfected security interests, and the goods become part of a product or mass and lose their identity, the security interests rank equal and according to the ratio that the original cost of goods of each security interest bears to the cost of the total product or mass.

Answer: The debtor has the exclusive right to file a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization with the bankruptcy court within the first 120 days after the date of the order for relief. Under the 2005 act, this period may be extended up to 18 months. The debtor has the right to obtain creditor approval of the plan, but if the debtor fails to do so, any party of interest (e.g., a trustee, a creditor, an equity holder) may propose a plan. The plan of reorganization sets forth the proposed new financial structure of the debtor. This includes the portion of the unsecured debts proposed to be paid by the debtor and the unsecured debt the debtor proposes to have discharged. The plan must specify the executory contracts and unexpired leases that the debtor proposes to reject that have not previously been rejected in the bankruptcy proceeding. The plan also designates how equity holders are to be treated, describes any new equity investments that are to be made in the debtor, and includes other relevant information. The debtor must supply the creditors and equity holders with a disclosure statement that contains adequate information about the proposed plan of reorganization so that they can make an informed judgment about the plan.

Answer: TRUE Diff: 1 LO: 30.1 Describe the duty of loyalty owed by an agent to a principal. AACSB: Analytical thinking Classification: Concept 20) Why can an agent generally not take an opportunity meant for the principal? Is an agent ever permitted to take such an opportunity? Give an example of an agent's violation of the duty of loyalty. Answer: An agent cannot personally usurp an opportunity that belongs to the principal. A thirdparty offer to an agent must be conveyed to the principal. The agent cannot appropriate the opportunity for herself unless the principal rejects it after due consideration. If the agent does so, the principal can recover the opportunity from the agent. But the agent can take the opportunity with the consent of the principal. For instance, consider an agent who works for a principal that is in the business of real estate development. The principal is looking for vacant land to purchase to develop. A third party who owns and wants to sell his vacant land tells an agent of the principal of the availability of the land. The agent, without informing the principal, purchases the land for his own use. This is a violation of the agent's duty of loyalty.

AACSB: Analytical thinking Classification: Concept 21) Does an agent competing with the principal breach his or her duty of loyalty? What is the proper course of action for the principal in such a case? Answer: Agents are prohibited from competing with the principal during the course of an agency unless the principal agrees. The reason for this rule is that an agent cannot meet his or her duty of loyalty when his or her personal interests conflict with the principal's interests. The principal may recover the profits made by the agent as well as damages caused by the agent's conduct, such as lost sales. An agent is free to compete with the principal when the agency has ended unless the parties have entered into an enforceable covenant-not-to-compete.

67) Ratification of a contract is a situation in which a principal accepts an agent's unauthorized contract. Answer: TRUE Diff: 1 LO: 30.4 Describe the principal's and agent's liability on third-party contracts. AACSB: Analytical thinking Classification: Concept 68) Describe the operation of a fully disclosed agency. Answer: A fully disclosed agency results if a third party entering into a contract knows (1) that the agent is acting as an agent for a principal, and (2) the actual identity of the principal. The third party has the requisite knowledge if the principal's identity is disclosed to the third party by either the agent or some other source. In a fully disclosed agency, the contract is between the principal and the third party. Thus, the principal, who is called a fully disclosed principal, is liable on the contract. The agent, however, is not liable on the contract because the third party relied on the principal's credit and reputation when the contract was made. An agent is liable on the contract if he or she guarantees that the principal will perform the contract. Diff: 1 LO: 30.4 Describe the principal's and agent's liability on third-party contracts. AACSB: Analytical thinking Classification: Concept 69) Briefly explain an undisclosed agency. What are the liabilities involved in such an agency? Answer: An undisclosed agency occurs when a third party is unaware of the existence of an agency. The principal is called an undisclosed principal. Undisclosed agencies are lawful. They are often used when the principal feels that the terms of the contract would be changed if his or her identity were known. For example, a wealthy party may use an undisclosed agency to purchase property if she thinks that the seller would raise the price of the property if her identity were revealed. In an undisclosed agency, both the principal and the agent are liable on the contract with the third party. This is because the agent, by not divulging that he or she is acting as an agent, becomes a principal to the contract. The third party relies on the reputation and credit of the agent in entering into the contract. If the principal fails to perform the contract, the third party can recover against the principal or the agent. If the agent is made to pay the contract, he or she can recover indemnification from the principal. Diff: 2 LO: 30.4 Describe the principal's and agent's liability on third-party contracts.

Answer: FALSE Diff: 1 LO: 30.5 Describe independent contractor and describe the liability of independent contractors. AACSB: Analytical thinking Classification: Concept 85) Briefly explain the liability for an independent contractor's torts. Answer: Generally, a principal is not liable for the torts of its independent contractors. Independent contractors are personally liable for their own torts. The rationale behind this rule is that principals do not control the means by which the results are accomplished. However, principals cannot avoid liability for inherently dangerous activities that they assign to independent contractors. For example, the use of explosives, clearing of land by fire, crop dusting, and other inherently dangerous activities involve special risks. In these cases, a principal is liable for the negligence of the independent contractor the principal hired to perform the dangerous task.

Workers' compensation laws make a trade-off: an injured worker qualifies for workers' compensation benefits and does not have to spend time and money to sue his employer, with a possible risk of not winning. The employer has to pay for workers' compensation insurance but does not have to incur the expense and risk of a lawsuit. Example: A professor is covered by her university's workers' compensation insurance. While teaching her class, the professor is injured when she trips over a power cord that was lying on the floor in the classroom.

62) Describe the measures taken by the U.S. Department of Labor against oppressive child labor. Answer: The Fair Labor Standards Act forbids the use of oppressive child labor and makes it unlawful to ship goods produced by businesses that use oppressive child labor. The Department of Labor has adopted the following regulations that define lawful child labor: (1) Children under the age of 14 cannot work except as newspaper deliverers; (2) children ages 14 and 15 may work limited hours in nonhazardous jobs approved by the Department of Labor (e.g., restaurants, gasoline stations); and (3) children ages 16 and 17 may work unlimited hours in nonhazardous jobs. The Department of Labor determines which occupations are hazardous (e.g., mining, roofing, working with explosives). Children who work in agricultural employment and child actors and performers are exempt from these restrictions. Diff: 1 LO: 31.4 Describe the minimum wage and overtime pay rules of the Fair Labor Standards Act. AACSB: Analytical thinking Classification: Concept 63) Outline the minimum wage requirement established by the Fair Labor Standards Act. How are wages calculated for a tipped employee? Answer: The Fair Labor Standards Act establishes minimum wage and overtime pay requirements for workers. Workers whose daily job duties are managerial, administrative, or professional are exempt from the act's wage and hour provisions. FLSA requires that most employees in the United States be paid at least the federal minimum wage for all hours worked. The federal minimum wage is set by Congress and can be changed. The Department of Labor permits employers to pay less than the minimum wage to students and apprentices. An employer may reduce the minimum wage by an amount equal to the reasonable cost of food and lodging provided to employees. There is a special minimum wage rule for tipped employees. An employee who earns tips can be paid $2.13 an hour by an employer if that amount plus the tips received equals at least the minimum wage. If an employee's tips and direct employer payment does not equal the minimum wage, the employer must make up the difference.

64) How is Social Security awarded in the United States? Answer: The federal Social Security system provides limited retirement and death benefits to certain employees and their dependents. The Social Security system is administered by the Social Security Administration. Social Security benefits include: (1) retirement benefits, (2) survivors' benefits to family members of deceased workers, (3) disability benefits, and (4) medical and hospitalization benefits. Under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA), employees must make contributions (i.e., pay taxes) into the Social Security fund. An employee's employer must pay a matching amount. Social Security does not operate like a savings account. Instead, current contributions are used to fund current claims. The employer is responsible for deducting employees' portions from their wages and remitting the entire payment to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Under the Self-Employment Contributions Act, self-employed individuals must pay Social Security contributions, too. The amount of tax self-employed individuals must pay is equal to the combined employer-employee amount.

53) Briefly outline and explain the process of collective bargaining. Answer: Once a union has been elected, the employer and the union discuss the terms of employment of union members and try to negotiate a contract that embodies these terms. The act of negotiating is called collective bargaining, and the resulting contract is called a collective bargaining agreement. The employer and the union must negotiate with each other in good faith. Among other things, this prohibits making take-it-or-leave-it proposals. The subjects of collective bargaining are classified as follows: 1. Compulsory subjects: Wages, hours, and other terms and conditions of employment are compulsory subjects of collective bargaining. 2. Permissive subjects: Subjects that are not compulsory or illegal are permissive subjects of collective bargaining. These subjects may be bargained for if the company and union agree to do so. 3.

AACSB: Analytical thinking Classification: Concept 66) List and explain the strikes that are illegal under federal law. Answer: The following types of strikes are considered unlawful under federal labor law: 1. Violent strikes. In violent strikes, striking employees cause substantial damage to property of the employer or a third party. Courts usually tolerate a certain amount of isolated violence before finding that an entire strike is illegal. 2. Sit-down strikes. In sit-down strikes, striking employees continue to occupy the employer's premises. Such strikes are illegal because they deny the employer's statutory right to continue its operations during the strike. 3. Partial or intermittent strikes. In partial strikes, or intermittent strikes, employees strike part of the day or workweek and work the other part. This type of strike is illegal because it interferes with the employer's right to operate its facilities at full operation. 4. Wildcat strikes. In wildcat strikes, individual union members go on strike without proper authorization from the union. The courts have recognized that a wildcat strike becomes lawful if it is quickly ratified by the union. Diff: 1 LO: 32.4 Describe employees' right to strike and when strikes are illegal.

It further guarantees union members the rights of free speech and assembly, provides for due process (notice and hearing), and permits union members to initiate judicial or administrative action. A union may discipline members for participating in certain activities, including (1) walking off the job in a nonsanctioned strike, (2) working for wages below union scale, (3) spying for an employer, and (4) any other unauthorized activity that has an adverse economic impact on the union.

Who must he approach before filing a lawsuit against the employer? Describe the process. Answer: If a person believes that he or she has been discriminated against in the workplace, he or she cannot immediately file a lawsuit against the employer. The complainant must first file a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). The EEOC often requests that the parties try to resolve their dispute through mediation. If mediation does not work, the EEOC will investigate the charge. If the EEOC finds a violation, it will decide whether to sue the employer. If the EEOC sues the employer, the complainant cannot sue the employer. In this case, the EEOC represents the complainant. If the EEOC finds a violation and chooses not to bring suit, or does not find a violation, the EEOC will issue a right to sue letter to the complainant. This gives the complainant the right to sue his or her employer. If a state has a Fair Employment Practices Agency (FEPA), the complainant may file his or her claim with the FEPA instead of the EEOC. Often a complainant will file a complaint with a FEPA if state law provides protection from discrimination not covered by federal laws or if the FEPA's procedure permits a filing date that is longer than that of the EEOC. The FEPA complaint process is similar to that of the EEOC. Diff: 2 LO: 33.2 Describe the scope of coverage of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

33) Explain the scope and provisions of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. Answer: Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 applies to (1) employers with 15 or more employees, (2) all employment agencies, (3) labor unions with 15 or more members, (4) state and local governments and their agencies, and (5) most federal government employment. Native American tribes and tax-exempt private clubs are expressly excluded from coverage. Other portions of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibit discrimination in housing, education, and other facets of life. Title VII prohibits discrimination based on race, color, national origin, sex, or religion, whether in hiring, decisions regarding promotion or demotion, payment of compensation and fringe benefits, availability of job training and apprenticeship opportunities, referral systems for employment, decisions regarding dismissal, work rules, and any other "term, condition, or privilege" of employment. Any employee of a covered employer, including undocumented aliens, may bring actions for employment discrimination under Title VII. U.S. citizens employed by U.S.-controlled companies in foreign countries are covered by Title VII. Foreign nationals employed in foreign countries by U.S. controlled companies are not covered by Title VII. Diff: 1 LO: 33.2 Describe the scope of coverage of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. AACSB: Analytical thinking Classification: Concept 34) Distinguish between disparate-treatment discrimination and disparate-impact discrimination. Answer: Disparate-treatment discrimination occurs when an employer treats a specific individual less favorably than others because of that person's race, color, national origin, sex, or religion. In such situations, the complainant must prove that (1) he or she belongs to a Title VII protected class; (2) he or she applied for and was qualified for the employment position, (3) he or she was rejected despite this, and (4) the employer kept the position open and sought applications from persons with the complainant's qualifications. Disparate-impact discrimination occurs when an employer discriminates against an entire protected class. Often, this type of discrimination is proven through statistical data about an employer's employment practices. The plaintiff must demonstrate a causal link between the challenged practice and the statistical imbalance. Showing a statistical disparity between the percentages of protected class employees and the percentage of the population that the protected class makes within the surrounding community is not enough, by itself, to prove discrimination. Disparate-impact discrimination can occur when an employer adopts a work rule that is neutral on its face but is shown to cause an adverse impact on a protected class.

66) Explain, with an example, the duty of care owed by a general partner. Answer: A general partner must use reasonable care and skill in transacting partnership business. The duty of care calls for the partners to use the same level of care and skill that a reasonable business manager in the same position would use in the same circumstances. Breach of the duty of care is negligence. A general partner is liable to the partnership for any damages caused by his or her negligence. The partners are not liable for honest errors in judgment. Example: Tina, Eric, and Brian form a general partnership to sell automobiles. Tina, who is in charge of inventory management, orders large and expensive sport-utility vehicles that consume large amounts of gasoline. A war breaks out in the Middle East that interrupts the supply of oil to the United States. The demand for large SUVs drops substantially, and the partnership cannot sell its inventory.

If there is no such agreement, the RULPA provides that profits and losses from a limited partnership are shared on the basis of the value of each partner's capital contribution. Example: There are four general partners, each of whom contributes $50,000 in capital to the limited partnership, and four limited partners, each of whom contributes $200,000 capital. The total amount of contributed capital is $1 million. The limited partnership agreement does not stipulate how profits and losses are to be allocated. Assume that the limited partnership makes $3 million in profits. Under the RULPA, each general partner would receive $150,000 in profit, and each limited partner would receive $600,000 in profit.

Answer: Delaware has a special court–the court of chancery–that hears and decides business cases. This court has been around for more than 200 years. In that time, it has interpreted Delaware corporation law favorably to large corporations in such matters as electing corporate boards of directors, eliminating negligence liability of outside directors, upholding the antitakeover provisions of the Delaware corporation code, and such. In addition, there are no emotional juries to worry about. The decisions of the chancery court are made by judges who are experts at deciding corporate law disputes. The court is known for issuing decisions favorable to large corporations as the court applies Delaware corporation law to decide disputes. Appeals from the court of chancery are brought directly to the supreme court of Delaware.

82) Distinguish between rightful and wrongful disassociation from an LLC. What are the consequences of disassociation? Answer: Unless an LLC's operating agreement provides otherwise, a member has the power to withdraw from the LLC, whether it is an at-will LLC or a term LLC. The disassociation of a member from an at-will LLC is not wrongful unless the power to withdraw is eliminated in the operating agreement. Wrongful disassociation occurs when a member withdraws from (a) a term LLC prior to the expiration of the term or (b) an at-will LLC when the operating agreement eliminates a member's power to withdraw. A member who wrongfully disassociates himself or herself from an LLC is liable to the LLC and to the other members for any damages caused by his or her wrongful disassociation. A member's disassociation from an LLC terminates that member's right to participate in the management of the LLC, act as an agent of the LLC, or conduct the LLC's business.

Franchisees are liable on their own contracts and are liable for their own torts (e.g., negligence). Franchisors are liable for their own contracts and torts. Generally, neither party is liable for the contracts or torts of the other. Example—Suppose that McDonald's Corporation, a fast-food restaurant franchisor, grants a restaurant franchise to Tina Corporation. Tina Corporation opens the franchise restaurant. One day, a customer at the franchise spills a chocolate shake on the floor. The employees at the franchise fail to clean up the spilled shake, and one hour later, another customer slips on the spilled shake and suffers severe injuries. The injured customer can recover damages from the franchisee, Tina Corporation, because it was negligent. It cannot recover damages from the franchisor, McDonald's Corporation.

AACSB: Analytical thinking Classification: Concept 54) A franchisee subject to wrongful termination can only recover damages, and not the franchise. Answer: FALSE Diff: 1 LO: 40.6 Describe how franchising agreements can be terminated. AACSB: Analytical thinking Classification: Concept 55) When is a franchisor allowed to terminate a franchise? Why are termination-at-will clauses generally held to be void? Answer: Most franchise agreements permit a franchisor to terminate the franchise for cause. For example, the continued failure of a franchisee to pay franchise fees or meet legitimate qualitycontrol standards would be deemed just cause. However, unreasonably strict application of a just cause termination clause constitutes wrongful termination. A single failure to meet a qualitycontrol standard, for example, is not cause for termination. Termination-at-will clauses in franchise agreements are generally held to be void on the grounds that they are unconscionable. The rationale for this position is that the franchisee has spent time, money, and effort developing the franchise. If a franchise is terminated without just cause, the franchisee can sue the franchisor for wrongful termination. The franchisee can recover damages caused by the unlawful termination and recover the franchise. Diff: 2 LO: 40.6 Describe how franchising agreements can be terminated.

76) What is a premerger notification? Explain the process outlined by the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvement Act to execute a merger. Answer: The Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvement Act requires certain larger firms to notify the Federal Trade Commission and the U.S. Department of Justice of any proposed merger and to provide information about the parties and the proposed transaction. Upon the filing, a thirty-day waiting period begins (fifteen days for all-cash tender offers), during which time the government agencies may investigate the transaction. If the government agencies believe that the acquisition would have anticompetitive effects, they may extend the waiting period and request additional information from the parties. If within the waiting period the government sues, the suit is entitled to expedited treatment in the courts. If the government does not challenge a proposed merger within thirty days, the merger may proceed. The parties may request that the waiting period be terminated early if the government agencies do not find anticompetitive effects.

Personal property consists of everything that is not real property. Real property can become personal property if it is removed from the land. For example, a tree that is part of a forest is real property; a tree that is cut down is personal property. Personal property that is permanently affixed to land or buildings is called a fixture. Such property, which includes things like heating systems and storm windows, is categorized as real property. Unless otherwise agreed, fixtures remain with a building when it is sold. Personal property (e.g., furniture, pictures, and other easily portable household items) may be removed by the seller prior to sale. Personal property can be either tangible or intangible.

89) What is the role of an innkeeper as a bailee? How does the innkeepers' statute help an innkeeper? Answer: An innkeeper is the owner of a facility that provides lodging to the public for compensation. Under the common law, innkeepers owe a duty of strict liability regarding loss caused to the personal property of transient guests. Under this rule, an innkeeper is liable for a guest's personal property that is lost or stolen from the innkeeper's premises even if the loss was not the innkeeper's fault. However, almost all states have enacted innkeepers' statutes that change the common law and limit the liability of innkeepers. These statutes allow innkeepers to avoid liability for loss caused to guests' property if a safe is provided in which the guests' valuable property may be kept and the guests are aware of the safe's availability. Most state laws also allow innkeepers to limit the dollar amount of their liability by notifying their guests of this limit. Diff: 2 LO: 47.6 List and describe special forms of bailment.

53) Give an account of concurrent ownerships in a multiple-dwelling building. Answer: Condominiums and cooperatives are two types of concurrent ownerships in a multipledwelling building. Condominiums are a common form of ownership in multiple-dwelling buildings. Purchasers of a condominium (1) have title to their individual units and (2) own the common areas (e.g., hallways, elevators, parking areas, recreational facilities) as tenants in common with the other owners. Owners may sell or mortgage their units without the permission of the other owners. Owners are assessed monthly fees for the maintenance of common areas. In addition to being used for dwelling units, the condominium form of ownership is often used for office buildings, boat docks, and such. A cooperative is a form of co-ownership of a multiple-dwelling building in which a corporation owns the building, and the residents own shares in the corporation. Each cooperative owner leases a unit in the building from the corporation under a renewable, long-term, proprietary lease. Usually, cooperative owners may not sell their shares or sublease their units without the approval of the other owners.

94) What is a general warranty deed? Answer: A general warranty deed (or grant deed) contains the greatest number of warranties and provides the highest level of protection to a grantee. General warranty deeds are usually used as a deed from a seller to a buyer of real property. In a general warranty deed, the seller warrants that he or she owns the property; that he or she has the legal right to sell it; that the property is not subject to encumbrances (e.g., mortgages), leases, or easements other than those that are disclosed; that his or her title is superior to any other claim of title to the property; that he or she will defend the grantee's title against all other claims; and that he or she will compensate the grantee for any losses suffered if title proves faulty. The guarantee is not limited to the time that the grantor owned the property but extends back to the property's origins. Although the grantor is legally bound to compensate the grantee for losses caused by a breach of warranty, this guarantee is not helpful if the grantor is dead when the breach of warranty is discovered or if the grantor is financially unable to cover the losses. Diff: 1 LO: 48.7 List and describe the different types of easements. AACSB: Analytical thinking Classification: Concept 95) Explain the role of recording statutes in real property contracts. Answer: Every state has a recording statute that provides that copies of deeds and other documents concerning interests in real property (e.g., mortgages, liens, easements) may be filed in a government office, where they become public records open to viewing by the public. Recording statutes are intended to prevent fraud and to establish certainty in the ownership and transfer of property. Instruments are usually filed in the county recorder's office of the county in which the property is located. A fee is charged to record an instrument. Persons interested in purchasing property or lending on property should check these records to determine whether the grantor or borrower actually owns the property in question and whether any other parties (e.g., lienholders, mortgagees, easement holders) have an interest in the property. The recordation of a deed is not required to pass title from the grantor to the grantee. Recording the deed gives constructive notice to the world of the owner's interest in the property.

96) What is an easement and how is it created? Answer: An easement is an interest in land that gives the holder the right to make limited use of another's property without taking anything from it. Typical easements are common driveways, party walls, and rights-of-way. Easements can be expressly created by grant (where an owner expressly gives another party an easement across his or her property) or reservation (where an owner sells land that he or she owns but reserves an easement on the land). Easement can also be implied by implication (where an owner subdivides a piece of property with a well, path, road, or other beneficial appurtenant that serves the entire parcel) or by necessity (where "landlocked" property has an implied easement across surrounding property to enter and exit the landlocked property). Easements can also be created by prescription–that is, by adverse possession. Diff: 1 LO: 48.7 List and describe the different types of easements.

A) variance B) fixture C) dominant estate D) servient estate Answer: A Diff: 1 LO: 48.8 Describe zoning laws and how they apply to real property. AACSB: Analytical thinking Classification: Concept 98) Give an account of zoning. What are nonconforming uses? Answer: Most counties and municipalities have enacted zoning ordinances to regulate land use. Zoning generally (1) establishes land use districts within the municipality (i.e., areas are generally designated residential, commercial, or industrial); (2) restricts the height, size, and location of buildings on a building site; and (3) establishes aesthetic requirements or limitations for the exterior of buildings. A zoning commission usually formulates zoning ordinances, conducts public hearings, and makes recommendations to the city council, which must vote to enact an ordinance. Once a zoning ordinance is enacted, the zoning ordinance commission enforces it. Zoning laws act prospectively; that is, uses and buildings that already exist in the zoned area are permitted to continue even though they do not fit within new zoning ordinances. Such uses are called nonconforming uses. Diff: 2 LO: 48.8 Describe zoning laws and how they apply to real property. AACSB: Analytical thinking Classification: Concept

Generally, the tenant may (1) withhold from his or her rent the amount by which the defect reduced the value of the premises to him or her, (2) repair the defect and deduct the cost of repairs from the rent due for the leased premises, (3) cancel the lease if the failure to repair constitutes constructive eviction, or (4) sue for damages in the amount by which the landlord's failure to repair the defect reduced the value of the leasehold.

AACSB: Analytical thinking Classification: Concept 43) What is meant by the tenant's duty not to use leased premises for illegal or nonstipulated purposes? Answer: A tenant may use leased property for any lawful purposes permitted by the lease. Leases often stipulate that the leased premises can be used only for specific purposes. The tenant owes a duty not to use leased premises for illegal or nonstipulated purposes. If the tenant uses the leased premises for unlawful purposes (e.g., operating an illegal gambling casino) or nonstipulated purposes (e.g., operating a restaurant in a residence), the landlord may terminate the lease, evict the tenant, and sue for damages.

48) Explain a landlord's right to transfer leased property. Answer: A landlord can sell, gift, devise, or otherwise transfer his or her ownership interest in property he or she owns that is subject to leases.

37) Who are the different parties to a life insurance contract? How is a beneficiary determined for a life insurance? Answer: There are four parties to a life insurance contract: 1. The insurance company issues the policy. 2. The owner of the policy is the person who contracts with the insurance company and pays the premiums. 3. The insured is the person whose life is insured. 4. The beneficiary is the person who is to receive the insurance proceeds when the insured dies. The owner of the policy has the power to name the beneficiary of the insurance proceeds. Most life insurance contracts permit the owner to change beneficiaries. If no beneficiary is named, the proceeds go to the insured's estate. Often, the owner and the insured are the same person. For example, an owner can take out an insurance policy on his or her own life. The owner and beneficiary can also be the same person.

70) Give an account of the no-fault automobile liability insurance. Answer: Most automobile insurance coverage is based on the principle of "fault," whereby a party injured in an accident relied on the insurance of the at-fault party to pay for his or her injuries. This system leads to substantial litigation, and many accident victims are unable to recover because the at-fault party has either inadequate insurance or no insurance at all. To remedy this problem, more than half of the states have enacted legislation that mandates no-fault automobile insurance. Under this system, a driver's insurance company pays for any injuries or death he or she suffered in an accident, no matter who caused the accident. No-fault insurance assures the insureds that coverage is available if they are injured in an automobile accident. Nofault insurance policies provide coverage for medical expenses and lost wages. Pain and suffering are sometimes covered. No-fault insurance usually covers the insured, members of the insured's immediate family, authorized drivers of the automobile, and passengers.

Answer: TRUE Diff: 1 LO: 50.7 List and describe special forms of business insurance. AACSB: Analytical thinking Classification: Concept 81) What is a key-person life insurance? How does it influence a buy-sell agreement? Answer: In many small businesses, such as partnerships, limited liability companies, and close corporations, the death of one of the owners may cause a loss to the business. To compensate for such loss, the business often purchases key-person life insurance on owners and other important persons who work for the business. The business pays the premiums for the key-person life insurance policies. Upon the death of the insured person, the proceeds of the key-person life insurance are paid to the business. Sometimes key-person life insurance is used to fund buy-sell agreements among the owners of the business. Thus, if an insured owner dies, the insurance proceeds are paid to the deceased's beneficiaries, and the deceased's interest in the business then reverts to either the other owners or the business, according to the terms of the buy-sell agreement.

63) Give an account of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Answer: The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, a federal statute, changed the liability of accountants and other securities professionals in the following ways: 1. The act imposes pleading and procedural requirements that make it more difficult for plaintiffs to bring class action securities lawsuits. 2. The act replaces joint and several liability of defendants (where one party of several at-fault parties could be made to pay all of a judgment) with proportionate liability. This new rule limits a defendant's liability to his or her proportionate degree of fault. Thus, the act relieves accountants from being the "deep pocket" defendant except up to their degree of fault. The only exception to this rule–where joint and several liability is still imposed–is if the defendant acted knowingly.

Answer: FALSE Diff: 1 LO: 52.4 Identify how property is distributed under intestacy statutes if a person dies without a will. AACSB: Analytical thinking Classification: Concept 53) What is intestate succession? Answer: If a person dies without a will or trust–that is, intestate–or if his or her will or trust fails for some legal reason, the property is distributed to his or her relatives pursuant to a state's intestacy statute. Relatives who receive property under intestacy statutes are called heirs. Although intestacy statutes differ from state to state, the general rule is that the deceased's real property is distributed according to the intestacy statute of the state where the real property is located, and the deceased's personal property is distributed according to the intestacy statute of the state where the deceased had his or her permanent residence. Intestacy statutes usually leave the deceased's property to his or her heirs in this order: spouse, children, lineal heirs, collateral heirs, and other next of kin. If the deceased has no surviving relatives, then the deceased's property escheats to the state. In-laws do not inherit under most intestacy statutes.

80) Who are the beneficiaries of a trust? Answer: Trusts often provide that any trust income is to be paid to a person or an entity called the income beneficiary. The person or entity to receive the trust corpus on the termination of the trust is called the remainder beneficiary. The income beneficiary and the remainder beneficiary can be the same person or different persons. The designated beneficiary can be any identifiable person, animal charitable organization, or other institution or cause that the settlor chooses. The trust agreement usually specifies how the receipts and expenses of the trust are to be divided between the income beneficiary and the remainder beneficiary. Diff: 2 LO: 52.7 Define a living trust and describe how a living trust works. AACSB: Analytical thinking Classification: Concept 81) Give an account of the funding and operation of a living trust. Answer: To fund a living trust, the grantor transfers title to his or her property to the trust. This property is called the trust corpus. Bank accounts, stock certificates, real estate, personal property, intangible property, and other property owned by the grantor must be retitled to the trust's name. For example, the grantor must execute deeds transferring title to real estate to the trust. Once property is transferred to the trust, the trust is considered funded. A living trust is revocable during the grantor's lifetime. Thus, a grantor can later change his or her mind and undo the trust and retake title of the property in his or her own name. A living trust names a trustee who is responsible for maintaining, investing, buying, or selling trust assets. The trustee is usually the grantor. Thus, the grantor who establishes the trust does not lose control of the property placed in the trust and may manage and invest trust assets during his or her lifetime. The trust should name a successor trustee to replace the grantor-trustee if the grantor becomes incapacitated or too ill to manage the trust.

89) What is a person's right to die? What are the views regarding the legality of euthanasia in the United States? Answer: One legal issue that has been prominent in the news is whether an individual has the right to choose to die when he or she is terminally ill and has less than a certain time to live. This issue has been debated many times in the past. Today, many persons in the United States support this right to die, while others are against having such a law. The right to die is where a terminally ill person may make a decision to end his or her life. Assisted suicide is where a physician can provide a terminally ill person with the means to end his or her own life. State laws that permit assisted suicide require that physicians make a diagnosis that a person is terminally ill and that the decision to commit assisted suicide is made by a patient of sound mind. Several states, including Montana, Oregon, and Washington, permit assisted suicide. No state permits euthanasia, that is, where a physician or another party administers a lethal injection. Today, some persons support assisted suicide, while other persons do not. This issue will continue to be debated as states determine whether or not to enact right to die statutes.

65) How is the division of debts conducted after a divorce? Answer: Individuals often have debts that must be divided on termination of the marriage. In most states, each spouse is personally liable for his or her own premarital debts, and the other spouse is not liable for those debts. Debts that are incurred during the marriage for necessities and other joint needs, including but not limited to shelter, clothing, automobiles, medical expenses, and such, are joint marital debts and are the joint responsibility of the spouses. The court may distribute these debts on termination of the marriage. Spouses are jointly liable for taxes incurred during their marriage. If a debt is not paid by the spouse to whom the court has distributed the debt, the third-party creditor may recover payment of the debt from the other spouse, however. This individual's only recourse is to recover the amount paid from his or her prior spouse. Diff: 1 LO: 53.7 Describe how assets are divided upon divorce and annulment.

84) What is child support? How is it awarded? Answer: The noncustodial parent is obligated to contribute to the financial support of his or her biological and adopted children. This includes a child's costs for food, shelter, clothing, medical expenses, and other necessities of life. This payment is called child support. The custodial and noncustodial parents may agree to the amount of child support. If they do not, the court determines the amount of child support to be paid. In awarding child support, the court may consider several factors, including the number of children, the needs of the children, the net income of the parents, standard of living of the children prior to termination of the marriage, special medical or other needs of the children, and other factors the court deems relevant. The duty to pay child support usually continues until a child reaches the age of majority, graduates from high school, or emancipates himself or herself by voluntarily choosing to live on his or her own. Diff: 2 LO: 53.8 Explain the responsibilities for the payment of spousal and child support. AACSB: Analytical thinking Classification: Concept 85) How is child custody after a divorce dealt in the United States? Answer: When a couple terminates their marriage by divorce or annulment and they have children, the issue of who is legally and physically responsible for raising the children must be decided, either by settlement or by the court. In child custody disputes where both parents want custody of a child, the courts determine what is in the best interests of the child in awarding custody. The custodial parent who is awarded custody has legal custody of the child. This usually includes physical custody of the child. The custodial parent has the right to make day-today decisions and major decisions concerning the child's education, religion, and other such matters. The awarding of custody to a custodial parent is not permanent. Custody may be altered by the court if circumstances change. The court does not award custody to a parent, and sometimes not to either parent, if it is in the child's best interest not to be with a parent, or if there has been child abuse, or if there are other extenuating circumstances. In such cases, the court may award custody to other relatives, such as grandparents, or place the child in a foster home. Diff: 2 LO: 53.9 Explain child custody and visitation rights of parents.

44) What are the implications of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) treaty? Answer: The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) has eliminated or reduced most of the duties, tariffs, quotas, and other trade barriers among Mexico, the United States, and Canada. Agriculture, automobiles, computers, electronics, energy and petrochemicals, financial services, insurance, telecommunications, and many other industries are affected. The treaty allows a country to reimpose tariffs if an import surge from one of the other nations hurts its economy or workers. Like other regional trading agreements, NAFTA allows the bloc to discriminate against outsiders and to cut deals among its members. NAFTA also includes special protection for favored industries that have a lot of lobby muscle. Thus, many economists assert that NAFTA is not a "free trade" pact but a managed trade agreement. Critics contend that NAFTA shifted U.S. jobs, particularly blue-collar jobs, south of the border, where Mexican wage rates are about one-tenth of those in the United States. Environmentalists criticize the pact for not doing enough to prevent and clean up pollution in Mexico.
