MARGI sells different types of wine. Customers place orders to the most popular “Summer Wine” at a rate of 125 bottles a month on the average. The store buys this wine from WSCo at $5 a bottle, and a required lead-time of 1.5 weeks. Ordering cost per order for MARGI is $14, and annual holding rate is 22%. Management is worried about daily variations of the demand, thus has decided to increase the EOQ order size by a lot.
To apply the cycle-service-level policy MARGI estimated the monthly standard deviation of demand at 53.5 bottles, where one month is considered 4 weeks.

A neurologist needs to counsel a stroke victim and her husband about possible outcomes, treatment options, and lifestyle changes that may be necessary. The patient is located in rural Utah, and the neurologist is in Salt Lake City. What is the most appropriate way for the physician to communicate?
The doctor should talk to the patient and her husband through video conferencing so facial expressions can be read and understanding confirmed in real time. The doctor should email the information to a local, nonspecialist physician in the patient’s hometown, and that doctor can communicate face-to-face with the patient and her husband. The doctor should send a detailed email outlining the many options and considerations and inviting the patient and her husband to email him back with any questions. The doctor should use Intermountain Healthcare’s extensive database to provide the patient and her husband with factsheets on her condition, links to websites for rehabilitation facilities, and contact information for support groups.

Case Study: Personal Beliefs in the Workplace Don Shakow was a prominent professional who worked in Seattle and Massachusetts in U.S. This case study discusses the nature of Don Shakow’s professional and personal lives. When you read the case study, notice that Don had controversial personal opinions and choices. The heading of Don Shakow’s obituary reads, "Don Shakow’s moral beliefs put to test in the workplace." Although as an economist (rather than an engineer), Shakow’s commitments and expertise certainly overlapped those of engineers. Among other things, he served as an expert witness on the economics of rapid-transit and public energy proposals. In the mid-70s, he joined Mathematical Sciences Northwest to evaluate proposed power projects for Seattle City Light Company, the city’s electricity utility. His finding that regional energy needs were seriously over-estimated resulted in Seattle City Light withdrawing its support for two Washington public power supply system nuclear plants. Shakow’s former colleague, Frank Miller, commented that their eventual construction "resulted in the largest utility-bond default in U.S. history." Shakow supported many liberal political causes, such as organic farming, home grown food, and food cooperatives. He protested against the Vietnam War. He co-founded the Little Bread Co., which carried messages on its reader board, such as "We Can’t Support One Gov’t ‒ Let Alone Thieu" (A reference to the then premier of South Vietnam). No doubt a somewhat controversial figure throughout his activist life, he was characterized by the reporter, Carole Beers, as "that rare individual: he fully integrated his moral beliefs into his work life."

The Facts: Ann and Bill decided to start a coffee shop. They agreed Bill would provide his specialty coffee-making equipment and that Ann would fund the initial operating costs up to $10,000. They agreed to split the profits equally. They also agreed that Ann is in charge of managing the shop on a day-to-day basis, but both Ann and Bill must agree on all major decisions. Bill receives no specific payment for the use of the coffee-making equipment. Ann receives no specific payment as interest on any funds she advances or for her management efforts. There are no other written or oral agreements between them.
They have not filed any documents with any governmental authority concerning the formation of any type of business organization.
The shop operates from premises leased from an unrelated third party. The business operates under the name Ann & Bill’s Expresso. After losing a total of $2000 over the first five (5) months of operations (which was covered by Ann), in month six (6) the coffee shop earned its first net profit ($200 for the month).
At the beginning of month seven (7) Bill happens to be at the coffee shop and receives a call that an order of coffee beans for the shop has arrived at the supplier’s warehouse. Without telling Ann, Bill takes his car and goes to pick up the coffee beans.
He is distracted from paying full attention to his driving by his personal financial problems. In particular, his bank is threatening to start legal action to collect his overdue $5000 personal loan. His lack of attention causes him not to see Carol, a pedestrian in a clearly labeled crosswalk. Bill hits and injures Carol. Bill is clearly entirely at fault under applicable law.
The Questions: Based on the above facts and limiting consideration to business organization and agency law, please discuss the following five issues. When discussing each issue please explain concisely how you arrived at your conclusions through application of the relevant law to the facts presented.
(1) Has a general partnership has been formed between Ann and Bill? Why, explain fully. (Worth 10 points)
Assume there is a general partnership between Ann and Bill.
Please discuss:
(2) Discuss whether Carol may have claims against Ann & Bill’s Expresso, and Ann and Bill as individuals. (Worth 30 points – 10 points for Expresso answer, 10 for Ann’s answer and 10 for Bill’s answer)
(3) Discuss whether Ann will have a claim against Bill if it turns out that Carol gets a $50,000 judgment that the coffee shop cannot pay and Ann ends up paying all of it? (Worth 10 points)
