Write 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.

Write a 2-3-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. Review Evidence and APA for more information on how to cite your sources.Review the assessment scoring guide for details on how your assessment will be graded.Competencies MeasuredBy successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the course competencies through the following assessment scoring guide criteria:Competency 3: Evaluate legal options to create a business entity.Explain creation, negotiation, and approval of contracts for the most common types of business entities.Explain contract liability for the most common types of business entities.Explain how the income of each type of business entity is taxed, specifying whether the entity, the owner, or both, are taxed.Explain the effects of the type of business entity on the ability to contract for the sale of the business.Competency 5: Convey purpose, in an appropriate tone and style, incorporating supporting evidence and adhering to organizational, professional, and scholarly writing standards.Convey purpose, in an appropriate tone and style, incorporating supporting evidence and adhering to organizational, professional, and scholarly writing standards.

analyse and create the most imaginative and detailed scenario possible around these two pieces of intelligence on the impending, potential FUTURE attack.

Scenario for TIIE and RAP. This “scenario is discussed in the “INTL454 Supplemental Guidance and Course Policies document as well, but is provided here as a separate document for both the TIIE and RAP assignments (be sure to closely adhere to each submission’s specific instructions under the “Assignments” link). ? Scenario basics: You are an intelligence analyst assigned to the National Counterterrorism Center focused on international terrorist threats to the US homeland. Recent intelligence via an “intercept” (for our purposes the nature/type and source of this intercept is not important, but is deemed credible) describes a possible future terrorist attack in the U.S. The date is June 30, 201X. A formal FBI requirement for analytical support on this threat stream has come from the FBI Counterterrorism element. FBI agents are set to meet with you in the near term to discuss some specific indicators that will help them immediately begin domestic intelligence collections efforts on the group suspected to be forming to conduct this attack. The FBI also needs a written intelligence forecast on how you think the attack will unfold (RAP), but more importantly WHY you think it will unfold that way based on your deep study of the key course themes over the past several weeks. The themes in our lessons, as emphasized in the syllabus, forums and readings all can help analysts understand and predict expected terrorist behaviour and actions useful in creating intelligence collections indicators that can be used in a specific forecasting methodology like the Khalsa or ASAP methodologies. ? The TIIE requires you to apply what you have learned in class (knowledge from study of the key course themes) alongside an hour or two of research on intelligence indicators to develop a list of six indicators you think will be relevant to the hypothetical terrorist attack scenario related above. If you need specific background on what an indicator is, the guidance under the “Assignment” link for the TIIE has a document that explains how intelligence collections indicators are used. An example indicator is provided in the instructions. The basics of what an indicator is follows: o In the development of a plan to guide and assist intelligence analysts us to provide warning of a terrorist attack, we have sought first to identify in advance those actions that would constitute preparations for the attack. Every anticipated behavioral, logistical, training, movement and communications (this is not an exhaustive list) event likely has a signature or other observable phenomena associated with it. These signatures serve as specific indicators that law enforcement, intelligence personnel or other government authorities can observe and report to intelligence analysts to add to an overall analytical effort to forecast the next steps of the terrorists in order to provide actionable intelligence to the FBI to interdict the terrorists or some supporting actions to thwart the attack. These indicators are useful to both analysts and collectors, and we compile them into Indicator Lists. An indicator we define as a major action that the terrorists must take before they are ready for the attack, whereas an indication is evidence that such an action is being or has been taken. The distinction is an essential one which all of us tend to lose sight of in common usage. ? The RAP concerns the creation/forecast of a partially intuition-based attack scenario, based on scant intelligence, or ‘dots’ in the form of a theoretical Intelligence intercept (below). You fill in the “gaps” with logical assertions backed up from your research and via your understanding of course materials. A predetermined parameter in this case is that before this intercept, another broad intelligence intercept was received indicating a major domestic terrorist attack would occur against the US within three-to-nine months (the date of this course is irrelevant to the hypothetical attack scenario). These two items are the “intelligence available.” You must analyse and create the most imaginative and detailed scenario possible around these two pieces of intelligence on the impending, potential FUTURE attack. While the scenario you paint is fictitious, remember that the goal is for you to demonstrate understanding of course key themes (cited) and incorporate scholarly research on terrorism and WMD. You should bear in mind when formulating the essay, you must address how you might indicators (discuss your TIIE effort) based on your research of the al Qa’ida terrorist network and the specific CBRN agent in the provided scenario details here. ? Transcript of Intercept: Fragmented intelligence from a senior al-Qaida member was intercepted. He is unaware of the interception. No further indicators or intelligence has been forthcoming, except that it is known that there is an impending attack on the US mainland within three-to-nine months, and that this intercepted intelligence is not disinformation and is considered credible: (Arabic reproduced in phonetic Latin alphabet).
