Facts: Butcher Block is an Austin (Travis County), Texas company that packages meat products for sale to local convenience stores. When its refrigerated delivery truck suffers an engine failure, Butcher’s president Billy contacted Vaught Motors, an Oklahoma City company that sells refrigerated vans and trucks to businesses. Billy negotiated with Vaught sales associate Annie a valid contract for the immediate sale and next-morning delivery of a used 2017 Mitsubishi Fuso FE 140 for $45,000 (including a time-of-the-essence clause because Butcher could make no deliveries without the truck). Vaught delivered a vehicle promptly, but it was a 2019 GMC G33705 van. Butcher rejected delivery because the GMC van—though newer, so the price was good—had only half of the storage capacity as the Mitsubishi truck and thus would not allow Butcher to make all of its deliveries each day. Butcher instead bought an equivalent Mitsubishi truck from another seller for $50,000. The day it was supposed to receive the truck from Vaught, Butcher missed all of its deliveries, which were worth $10,000 in profit. It also had to rent a delivery truck for 10 days at $500/day so that it could fill its orders while it awaited the truck from the alternate seller.
Question 1: Explain whether Vaught performed or breached its contract with Butcher and what the potential damages are for Butcher.
Question 2: For this second question only, assume that Annie was a probationary sales associate, and her manager Madelyn had told her orally not to do contracts above $25,000 without consulting her, and Annie did not consult Madelyn about the contract with Butcher. Billy had contacted Annie directly through the Vaught website, which told customers “Our sales associates can get you the right truck for your business,” and it included Annie’s name and contract information. Explain under agency law principles whether Vaught or Annie (or both) is liable for money damages if Butcher were to win a judgment for breach of contract.
Essay 3: If Butcher sues Vaught in a court located in its home (Travis County, Texas), explain what court or courts have subject matter jurisdiction over the lawsuit and whether there is personal jurisdiction over Vaught. Also address whether Butcher can sue in a court if the contract contains a clause requiring the parties to arbitrate.

Exercise #4:
Create a two (2) instances of the “Dog” class in your “Main” method. One will be created using the default constructor and the other should be made using the overloaded constructor. That means that you should pass the overloaded constructor arguments that come from user input.
Print out each of the dog’s three attributes using the accessors. Then call the “UpdateBark” method for both and print out their fields again, but this time through the “ToString” method.
Example (blue is default dog’s attributes, green is the user’s dog’s):
Creating a default dog…
Finished creating a default dog!
Default dog bark sound is Yelp!
Default dog size is 20 inches.
Default dog’s cuteness is cute dog.
Continued on third page…
Please enter the sound of your dog’s bark: “MOOOOOO!”
Please enter the size of your dog: “10”
Please enter the cuteness of your dog: “ugly dog.”
Your dog bark sound is MOOOOOO!
Your dog size is 10 inches.
Your dog’s cuteness is ugly dog.
Both dogs are doing a scary bark! Their cuteness has been affected!
Default dog bark sound is Yelp!
Default dog size is 20 inches.
Default dog’s cuteness is average.
Your dog bark sound is MOOOOOO!
Your dog size is 10 inches.
Your dog’s cuteness is average.

A university called UCLA conducts about 1300 experiments on animals which includes 150000 rodents and 21 nonhuman primates. One day, a scientist from UCLA gets attacked by Animal rights protestors. They burned his car and gave him many threatening letters. In this case, UCLA should take responsibility for scientist safety? How can the university protect the scientist? The government should take responsibility to who conducts animal research? What they can do?

You mission is create a C# program with the following. 1. At the top center of the page is a title which displays your name - use a label. a. adjust the font size from the default to a bigger size. b. adjust the font color to a different color than the default c. name the label using a naming convention shown in the chapter. Use this same format for all of your objects. 2. Below the title, centered, place a picture of yourself using the picturebox tool explained in the chapter. a. name the picture box with a meaningful name using the naming convention you used in #1. b. size the picture to fit evenly under your title. c. make sure the picture is properly saved in the right location within the C# application or it won't be copied when you submit the assignment. Do not code a complete location like c:/myfiles .... I won't have the same folders as you. It has to reside in the proper images folder which is located with your other program files. 3. Create TWO buttons on the same line (row) as each other. They should be evenly spaced apart from each other..Same space between the left edge, center, and right edge. a. Give each button a meaningful name using the naming convention you used for #1. b. The left button should display (within the button itself), the words - my favorite quote. c. The right button should display (within the button itself), the words - what I do for fun. 4. Double click the left button. You should now be in the code area for the click event for this button. a. Create the code (only takes one line) to display your favorite quote when the button is clicked. 5. Double click the right button. You should now be in the code area for the click event for this button. a. Create the code (only takes one line) to display a statement about what you do for fun. 6. Place another button below the two buttons, centered under the picture. a. Name the button with a meaningful name using the naming convention you used in #1. b. The words inside the button will be - close program c. Double click the button to enter code under the button. d. Enter a line of code which will display something funny about the person leaving your program. e. Enter a second line of code which closes the program. Test, Test, Test! Make sure it works. I will be testing your program!
