Prior to depositing the check in the company’s bank account, Ann indorses the check as follows: "The Best Insurance Company, Inc. by Ann, agent." Assuming that Ann has authority to indorse company checks,

b. |
Neither Paula nor Best Insurance is a payee on this negotiable instrument. |

c. |
Ann and Best Insurance are both payees, based on Ann’s indorsement listing them both. |

c. Ann and Best Insurance are both payees, based on Ann’s indorsement listing them both.
In this case Ann will just act as the agent but she is the payee as well because the check is on her name and along with that the organization too because the insurance policy is of the organization.
