Final Paper
[WLOs: 1, 2, 3] [CLOs: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Prior to beginning work on this assignment, review Chapters 1 through 7 and 11 through 14 of the
textbook.
For your Final Paper, assume the following scenario: You are the manager of Acme Fireworks, a
fireworks retailer who sells fireworks, and produces fireworks displays with ground display
fireworks and large aerial display fireworks. The company started in the owner’s garage 2 years
ago and now has 15 employees who you manage. The company started as a sole proprietorship,
and the owner has never changed the entity. The owner has informed you that the company has
received inquiries from several large businesses wondering if the company could create several
fireworks displays on a regular basis. The owner told the inquirers that the company could fill such
display orders, and a price per display was agreed upon. It was discussed that most of the cost for
a fireworks display is for skilled labor, insurance, and the actual service of setting off the fireworks.
No other details were discussed. The owner is anticipating that new employees will need to be
hired, but he is worried that if the large orders for fireworks displays do not continue, the company
will not have the funds to pay the new employees. The owner is now considering changing the
business entity, but he does not know what entity to form or how to form it.
In your paper, the owner has asked you to do the following:
Analyze if the contracts with the businesses will be governed by common law or the Uniform
Commercial Code (UCC).
Explain why.
Analyze whether the owner formed a contract with the businesses.
Apply the five essential elements of an enforceable contract.
Explain the potential personal liability to Acme Fireworks if a spectator is injured by a stray
firework from a fireworks display.
Discuss the different employment types and relationships relevant to agency law.
Analyze the advantages and disadvantages of each type specific to Acme Fireworks.
Explain why Acme Fireworks should not operate as a sole proprietorship.
Recommend a new business entity.
Provide rationale to support your recommendation.
