How is ownership of the business transferred in terms of what is sold?

Write a 3-page briefing of potential factors and issues associated with four types of business entities in the context of U.S. contract law.IntroductionOne of the most common ways in which business managers are involved with business law is in relation to contracts. Organizations of almost any size will most likely need to create, negotiate, review, approve, adhere to, and resolve con?icts associated with contracts. A business determines its legal standing by determining what type of legal entity it should be identi?ed as. The type of legal entity can signi?cantly impact:How lawsuits can be brought.How contracts are handled.How the courts interpret contract.?How the organization enters into contracts.How the income from the organization’s contracts is taxed.How liability for breach of contract is assigned.How the business is sold.PreparationsFor this assessment, assume that you work as a manager in a relatively small, privately-owned U.S. business. The company president (who is also the owner) inherited the company from his mother and has never started a business. He is considering creating a spin-off business (possibly with one or two associates) but is unsure about what form of business entity would be best to use for the new business. It is expected that contracts will play a major role in the success of the business as it utilizes numerous suppliers and distributors. The president knows you took a university-level business law class and has asked you to write a paper analyzing the four most common business entities in the context of contracts to help him decide which type of organization to choose for the new operation.Research each of the following forms of business entities:Sole proprietorship.General partnership.Corporation.Limited liability company (LLC).InstructionsWrite a 3-page executive briefing of potential factors and issues associated with four types of business entities in the context of U.S. contract law.Analyze the following for each type of business entity.Step 1: Explain creation, negotiation, and approval of contracts for the most common types of business entities.Analyze the pros and cons of each entity in this context.For each type of business form, indicate who or what in the legal structure of the business has the authority to perform these functions: create, negotiate, and approve contracts.Explain the advantages and disadvantages inherent in each of the four business forms with regard to contract creation, negotiation, and approval of contracts.Step 2: Explain contract liability for the most common types of business entities.Analyze the pros and cons of each entity in this context.For each of the four business types, who or what has liability associated with the contract? If the business breaches a contract and is found liable for damages, who in the business might bear personal liability, and what are the consequences for that individual? What liability might the business itself bear, if any?Explain the advantages and disadvantages inherent in each of the four business forms with regard to contract liability.Step 3: Explain how the income of each type of business entity is taxed, specifying whether the entity, the owner, or both, are taxed.Analyze the advantages and disadvantages of each entity in this context.What are the income tax implications for each type of business? How is the income of the business and its owners taxed?Analyze the advantages and disadvantages inherent in each of the four business forms with regard to taxation of income.Step 4: Explain the effects of the type of business entity on the ability to contract for the sale of the business.Can the business be sold, in whole and/or in part?How is ownership of the business transferred in terms of what is sold?Explain the advantages and disadvantages inherent in each of the four business forms with regard to selling the business.Additional RequirementsBased on your executive audience, your executive briefing should be no more than three pages, in addition to a References page, and should be well organized and written in clear, succinct language. Follow APA rules for attributing sources that support your analysis and conclusions.Your submission should meet the following requirements:Written communication: Write in complete sentences free from errors that detract from the overall message.Font and font size: Arial, 12 point.Format and length: Double-spaced, 2-3 pages.Citations: Include complete citations of your sources along with a References page.

Develop a composite analysis on internal factor strategy analysis based on the qualitative and quantitative analytical outcomes from those steps above.

Project 3: Internal Environmental Analysis (Week 6)NOTE: You are expected to understand the Academic Dishonesty and Plagiarism Policy, and know that it is your responsibility to learn about instructor and general academic expectations with regard to proper citation of sources as specified in the APAPublication Manual, 6th Ed. (Students are held accountable for in-text citations and an associated reference list only).Purpose:This project is the third of four projects. Students will perform an internal environmental analysis using the tools and concepts learned in the course to date. You will also draw from previous business courses to develop an understanding of how organizations develop and manage strategies to establish, safeguard and sustain its position in a competitive market.Students also have the opportunity to review an organization’s objectives and goals and the key functional areas within the organization. Performing an internal environment analysis helps assess a firm’s internal resources and capabilities and plays a critical role in formulating strategy by identifying a firm’s strengths to capitalize on so that it can effectively overcome weaknesses.Outcomes Met With This Project:utilize a set of useful analytical skills, tools, and techniques for analyzing a company strategically;integrate ideas, concepts, and theories from previously taken functional courses including, accounting, finance, market, business and human resource management;analyze and synthesize strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) to generate, prioritize, and implement alternative strategies in order to revise a current plan or write a new plan and present a strategic plan.Instructions:Step 1: Specific Company for All Four ProjectsThe companies that your instructor has assigned to you for Project 1 is the company you will use for this project. The assigned company must be used for this project and in subsequent projects in the course. Students must complete the project using the assigned company. Deviating from the assigned company will result in a zero for the project.After reading the course material, you will complete the steps below. Step 2: Course Materials and ResearchYou are required to research information about the focal company and the internal environment for this project, You are accountable for using the course materials to support the ideas, reasoning and conclusions made. Course materials use goes beyond defining terms but is used to explain the ‘why and how’ of a situation. Using one or two in-text citations from the course materials and then relying on Internet source material will not earn many points on the assignment. A variety of source material is expected and what is presented must be relevant and applicable to the topic being discussed. Avoid merely making statements but close the loop of the discussion by explaining how something happens or why something happens, which focuses on importance and impact. In closing the loop, you will demonstrate the ability to think clearly and rationally showing an understanding of the logical connections between the ideas presented from the research, the course material and the question(s) being asked.Note: Your report is based on the results of the research performed and not on any prepared documentation. What this means is that you will research and draw your own conclusions that are supported by the research and the course material rather than the use any source material that puts together any of the tools or techniques whether from the Internet, for-pay websites or any pre-prepared document, video or source material. A zero will be earned for not doing your own analysis.Success: The analysis is based on research and not opinion. You are not making recommendations and you will not attempt to position the focal company in a better or worse light than other companies within the industry merely because you are completing an analysis on this particular company. The analysis must be based on factual information. Any conclusions drawn have to be based on factual information rather than leaps of faith.To ensure success, as stated above, you are expected to use the course materials and research on the focal company’s global industry and the focal company. Opinion does not earn credit nor does using external sources when course materials can be used. It is necessary to provide explanations (the why and how) rather than making statements. Avoid stringing one citation after another as doing so does not show detailed explanations.Library ResourcesOn the main navigation bar in the classroom select, Resources and then select Library. Select Databases by Title (A – Z). Select M from the alphabet list, and then select Mergent Online. You may also use Market Line and should be looking at the focal company’s Annual Report or 10K report. You are not depending on any one resource to complete the analysis. It is impossible to complete a Porter’s Five Forces, competitive analysis or OT by using only course material.You should not be using obscure articles, GlassDoor, or Chron or similar articles.Research for Financial Analysis: Financial ResearchResearch for Industry Analysis CSI MarketScholarly Research in OneSearch is allowed.To search for only scholarly resources, you are expected to place a check mark in the space for “Scholarly journals only” before clicking search.You should not be using obscure articles, GlassDoor, or Chron or similar articles.Research for Financial Analysis: Financial ResearchResearch for Industry Analysis CSI MarketStep 3: How to Set Up theReportThe document has to be written in Word or rtf. No other format is acceptable. No pdf files will be graded. Use 12-point font for a double-spaced report. The final product cannot be longer than 16 pages in length, which includes all tables and matrices but excludes the title page and reference page. Do no use an Appendix. Those items identified in the technical analysis should appear under the appropriate heading in the paper. It is important to format the tables/matrices to fit the report and to present the analysis in a clear concise manner.Create a title page with title, your name, the course number, the instructor’s name;Use this template to complete the project: Project 3 Template.Step 4: Strategic Role of Corporate Strengths/Weaknesses in the Internal Strategy AnalysisThere are three levels of strategy: corporate level strategy, business level strategy and functional level strategy. Corporate level strategies are related to businesses or markets the focal company successfully can compete within. Corporate level strategies affect the entire organization and are formulated by top management using input from middle and lower management. Decision making about corporate level strategies are considered complex, affect the entire company and relate to an organization’s resource capabilities. Corporate level strategies align with an organization’s mission statement and ideally are designed around goals and objectives.Perform an analysis on:Corporate-level strategiesCreate a partial SWOT table and performs a SW analysis and discuss the strategic inferences/implications (Discuss what strategies would allow the company to capitalize on its major strengths and what strategies would allow the company to improve upon its major weaknesses.)Create an IFE matrix analysis. Make sure to explain how the matrix was developed and discuss the strategic inferences/implicationsDevelop a Grand Strategy Matrix. Make sure to explain how the matrix was developed and discuss the strategic inferences/implications at a corporate level and business-unit-level.Step 5: Strategic Role of Internal Resources/Departments/ProcessesPerform an analysis on:Business-level strategiesEvaluate the company’s product line, target marketIdentify and explain business-level strategiesFunctional-level strategiesAssess the company’s organizational structure, the organizational culture, marketing production, operations, finance and accounting, and RD that can be accomplished by viewing the company’s website, interviews, and surveys.Explain how these strategies align with the company’s vision and mission statements.Step 6: Strategic Financial Analysis for the Last Reported Fiscal YearUse the company’s income statement and balance sheet tocalculateno less than a total of ten (10) keyfinancial ratios to the business that are relevant to the focal company. There must be a mix of four different key categories inclusive of the leverage, liquidity, profitability, and efficiency ratios so that the ratios do not all come from the same category. The specific ratios selection must come from the following categories.Leverage Ratios (Long term debt ratio, Total debt ratio, Debt-to-equity ratio, Times interest earned ratio, and Cash coverage ratio).Liquidity Ratios (Net working capital to total assets ratio, current ratio, quick ratio, and cash ratio)Efficiency Ratios (Asset turnover ratio, Average collection period, Inventory turnover ratio, and Days sales outstanding)Profitability Ratios (Net profit margin, Return on assets, and Return on equity)The selection of the ratios has to be relevant to the focal company so it is important to choose wisely.Quote industry financial average ratios that correlate to the 10 financial ratios selected for the focal company. You may find the industry averages by going to the library. If you are unable to find on your own, reach out to the librarian as these resources are readily available.Discuss the corporate financial standing based on a financial ratio analysis. Include whether the company’s financial ratio is a strength, a weakness or a neutral factor.Note: If copied directly from the Internet, a zero will be assigned. When placing any table or figure in a table, it must be explained in detail.Step 7: Composite AnalysisA composite analysis is one in which you will bring in a combination of relevant factors from the various analyses (EFE Matrix, IFE matrix, CPM matrix, SWOT, Grand Strategy Matrix and QSPM). The QSPM is a tool that helps determine the relative attractiveness of feasible alternative strategies based on the external and internal key success factors.Develop a Quantitative Strategic Planning Matrix (QSPM) analysis. Make sure to discuss how the matrix was developed and discuss the strategic inferences/implications.Develop a composite analysis on internal factor strategy analysis based on the qualitative and quantitative analytical outcomes from those steps above.Step 8: Review the PaperRead the paper to ensure all required elements are present.The following are specific requirements that you will follow. Use the checklist to mark off that you have followed each specific requirement.

Based on your findings above, assess which expansion criteria seem to be more effective.

PurposeThis assignment is intended to help you learn how to apply statistical methods when analyzing operational data, evaluating the performance of current marketing strategies, and recommending actionable business decisions. This is an opportunity to build critical-thinking and problem-solving skills within the context of data analysis and interpretation. You’ll gain a first-hand understanding of how data analytics supports decision-making and adds value to an organization.Scenario:Pastas R Us, Inc. is a fast-casual restaurant chain specializing in noodle-based dishes, soups, and salads. Since its inception, the business development team has favored opening new restaurants in areas (within a 3-mile radius) that satisfy the following demographic conditions:Median age between 25 – 45 years oldHousehold median income above national averageAt least 15% college educated adult populationLast year, the marketing department rolled out a Loyalty Card strategy to increase sales. Under this program, customers present their Loyalty Card when paying for their orders and receive some free food after making 10 purchases.The company has collected data from its 74 restaurants to track important variables such as average sales per customer, year-on-year sales growth, sales per sq. ft., Loyalty Card usage as a percentage of sales, and others. A key metric of financial performance in the restaurant industry is annual sales per sq. ft. For example, if a 1200 sq. ft. restaurant recorded $2 million in sales last year, then it sold $1,667 per sq. ft.Executive management wants to know whether the current expansion criteria can be improved. They want to evaluate the effectiveness of the Loyalty Card marketing strategy and identify feasible, actionable opportunities for improvement. As a member of the analytics department, you’ve been assigned the responsibility of conducting a thorough statistical analysis of the company’s available database to answer executive management’s questions.Report:Write a 750-word statistical report that includes the following sections:Section 1: Scope and descriptive statisticsSection 2: AnalysisSection 3: Recommendations and ImplementationSection 1 – Scope and descriptive statisticsState the report’s objective.Discuss the nature of the current database. What variables were analyzed?Summarize your descriptive statistics findings from Excel. Use a table and insert appropriate graphs.Section 2 – AnalysisUsing Excel, create scatter plots and display the regression equations for the following pairs of variables:“BachDeg%” versus “Sales/SqFt”“MedIncome” versus “Sales/SqFt”“MedAge” versus “Sales/SqFt”“LoyaltyCard(%)” versus “SalesGrowth(%)”In your report, include the scatter plots. For each scatter plot, designate the type of relationship observed (increasing/positive, decreasing/negative, or no relationship) and determine what you can conclude from these relationships.Section 3: Recommendations and implementationBased on your findings above, assess which expansion criteria seem to be more effective. Could any expansion criterion be changed or eliminated? If so, which one and why?Based on your findings above, does it appear as if the Loyalty Card is positively correlated with sales growth? Would you recommend changing this marketing strategy?Based on your previous findings, recommend marketing positioning that targets a specific demographic. (Hint: Are younger people patronizing the restaurants more than older people?)Indicate what information should be collected to track and evaluate the effectiveness of your recommendations. How can this data be collected? (Hint: Would you use survey/samples or census?)Cite references to support your assignment.Format your citations according to APA guidelines.Submityour assignment.
