    Research shows that Mr. Jones is better off forming an S-corporation opposed to a partnership. 26 U.S. Code 1361 states that an S-corporation is a company that operates domestically within the United States as well as the state in which the Articles of Incorporation are filed. It is more beneficial to be a domestic corporation because home states offer opportunities to reinstate active status to corporations who lapse in registration and taxes. If Mr. Jones fails to pay his annual taxes on time, his S-corporation status can be reinstated after he squares away what he owes within a reasonable period of time. S-corporations are allowed to distribute one kind of stock, but they are limited to having 100 shareholders or less. Mr. Jones is eligible to start his used car dealership as an S-corporation because he is a resident…

    Dorris Reed, the plaintiff, purchased a home from Robert King. Robert King and his real estate agent did not tell Dorris Reed that a woman and her four children were murdered 10 years ago, because the murder would affect the value of the home. Dorris Reed, however, did find out about the murder from a neighbor and sued Robert King and his real estate agent for rescission and damages. Dorris Reed paid $76,000 for the home but the value of the house, once the murder was taken into consideration, was only worth $65,000. Due to Dorris Reed failing to state a cause of action, the trial court sided with Robert King and his real estate agent. Dorris Reed appealed. Fraud is being looked at in the case of Reed vs. King. There are five elements to proving fraud, 1) material misrepresentation, 2) facts/knowledge, 3) intent, 4) reliance, and 5) damage (quoted from text book). Robert King and his real estate agent hid the first and second element of fraud. They knew about the murders and did not present Dorris Reed with this information, which would have affected Dorris Reed decision to buy the house. However, when dealing with the selling of real property, the question of materially is the main issue. Materiality is based on three conditions, 1) the gravity of the harm inflicted by nondisclosure, 2) the fairness of imposing a duty of discovery on the buyer as an alternative to compelling disclosure, and 3) the impact on the stability of contracts if rescission is permitted (citation from text book). Even though murder is horrible and it would affect a person’s judgment on buying that particulate house, there is no evidence to support Dorris Reed claim that the murder would in fact affect the market value of the house. The judgment was later reversed because Dorris Reed was able to present enough evidence to show that history can affect the value of property.…

    Under these facts, Adam can be found personally liable for the loss even though there is a legal principle, which affords him a degree of protection. The text explains that “the liability of a limited partner, as mentioned, is limited to the capital that she or he contributes or agrees to contribute to the partnership [RULPA 502]. Limited partners enjoy this limited liability only so long as they do not participate in management {RULPA 303]” (Miller, 3-5b).…

    Technology has significantly changed my relationships within the market world. Technology is all around us in everything we do varying from banking, to getting coupons to our e-mails from previous stores we have shopped at, to getting our grades or even classes online. The first thing I do when I wake up in the morning is take a look at my smart phone. I check the weather application to see what I should wear.
