Upholstery labor-hours per unit 9 hours 14 hours 6 hours

Required:

1. Portsmouth is considering paying its upholstery laborers additional compensation to work overtime. Assuming that this extra time would be used to produce sofas, up to how much of an overtime premium per hour should the company be willing to pay to keep the upholstery shop open after normal working hours?

The Parties: Kara & Karl Kelsey – owners of Karacal Kitchens Nia Netsuke – home owner...

The Parties: Kara & Karl Kelsey – owners of Karacal Kitchens Nia Netsuke – home owner in Battery Point Barry Brickle – Karl’s cousin and employee of Karacal Kitchens Mark Smith – 15-year-old worker The Facts: Kara and Karl Kelsey own and operate Karacal Kitchens, a small business operating from premises at Coleman Street in Moonah. The business custom designs, manufactures and installs bespoke kitchens. The business began operating in 2010 and by the end of 2018 it employed two cabinet makers and two designers. One of these designers is Barry Brickle, he has worked for Karacal Kitchens since the partnership was established in 2010. He is Karl’s cousin and he lent the partnership $100 000 when it commenced business. He has not been repaid these funds but receives interest from the partnership. He works for a salary, designing kitchens and on occasion he assists in the manufacture and installation of kitchens. Nia Netsuke owns a home in Battery Point in Hobart. Barry Brickle lives next door to Nia and in December 2018 she asks Barry for a quote to design, manufacture and install a new kitchen in her home. Barry is thinking about retiring from his work with Karacal Kitchens so decides to provide the quote to his neighbour without informing the partnership. He has his own large shed at his home in Battery Point and believes he will be able to create the kitchen and install it without informing Karacal Kitchens. Barry provides drawings and design specifications to Nia. He quotes $45 000 for the work. This quote is not written up using the standard form used by Karacal Kitchens. Barry prepares the design while on site at the Karacal Kitchens business premises in Moonah. Nia accepts the quote and Barry commences work on the kitchen on the 20 January 2019. He believes that it will take between three to four weeks of work to construct and install the new kitchen. Barry books three weeks leave with Karacal Kitchen. He approaches his friend’s grandson Mark Smith who is fifteen years old and looking for work. Barry offers Mark 20 hours a week work, assisting in the construction of Nia’s kitchen. He agrees to pay him $20 per hour. At the end of February Nia’s kitchen is not complete, Barry has been too sick to work, and Mark has little ability to work unsupervised. Rather than disappoint his neighbour, Barry approaches Kara Kelsey and lets her know he has started work on a kitchen for his neighbour. Kara is annoyed but agrees to have the partly assembled kitchen moved to the factory in Coleman Street, Moonah. The kitchen is then finished and installed by Karl into Nia’s home in the first week in March. Karacal Kitchens sends Nia an invoice for $50 000 for the kitchen. Nia objects to paying this amount, saying she had been quoted $45000. Barry also sends an invoice to Karacal Kitchens for $12 000 saying he had purchased a lot of material himself that he used to construct Nia’s kitchen. Mark also sent an invoice for his work to Karacal Kitchens – (60 hours X $20 per hour) = $1200. He says he is owed this for working in Barry’s shed on Nia’s kitchen. QUESTION:Questions on Contracts: Formation and Contents 1. Are there any enforceable agreements between any of the parties? If so who are the parties to the agreement and what are the terms? 2. Can either Barry, Karl and Kelsey argue that there is no contract with Mark because he is a minor? 3. Can Nia use the legal principle ‘privity of contract’ to argue that she does not have to pay Karacal Kitchens for the kitchen? Question on Contracts: Validity and Ending 4. Can Karl and Kara use the legal principle of ’termination by subsequent agreement’ to make the contract between Karacal Kitchens and Nia fully enforceable? Questions on Competition and Consumer Law and Law of Agency 5. Would the Australian Consumer Law apply to any of agreements? Why/why not? 6. What legal relationship do you believe Barry has with Karacal Kitchens? Is he an employee or an agent and why does it matter?

Ethics Case

What should he do?

Tobias Ivanov, a senior accountant, has just completed his third year at a large accounting firm. During this time, Tobias has been consistently evaluated as an above average performer and a “team player.” Lately Tobias has been concerned about the heavy work load in this firm and has decided to enroll in an MBA program. He recently applied for admission to several of the nation's top business schools. The school in which Tobias is most interested had an October 1 deadline for a trial financial aid package, designed to attract top candidates, which covers all costs and pays $10,000 per year. This is the first year for the program and there is no guarantee that the program will be available in future years. Based on his conversations with university officials, Tobias is quite optimistic about being admitted and receiving the funding, even though a final decision will not be made until February. Tobias plans to enter an MBA program, even without the special funding, beginning in August of the following years, but he has told no one at the firm of his plans.

Janice Conrad, a partner in charge of training and development for the local office, has just received information from the national office of the firm related to a five-month accounting internship-exchange program the firm has arranged with offices in Europe, Australia, and Russia. Applicants must have three to five years with the firm, be above-average performers, have long-term career potential with the firm, and be fluent in the host country’s language. Janice immediately thinks of Tobias, who is a first-generation American with strong family connections in Russia. Janice arranges to have lunch with Tobias the next day.

At lunch Janice confirms that Tobias is fluent in Russian and then presents to him the information on the five-month internship in the Moscow office, from January through May of the following year. Tobias and Janice talk with excitement about the personal and professional benefits of five other relatives who live in Russia. The firm would benefit by having someone with experience in the Moscow office. Janice thinks Tobias has an excellent chance of being selected for the program and offers to write a recommendation letter for him. She gives Tobias an application and encourages him to complete it immediately, since it is now mid-October and the application deadline is November 1.

That night, Tobias sits down to consider his career plans. Although he is very excited about the opportunity to go to Moscow, he is also convinced that he would love to enroll in a full-time MBA program in the fall. He realizes that it is possible to intern in the Moscow office from January through May, return to his current office for June and July, and then begin the MBA program in August. Tobias wonders if he should talk to Janice about his MBA plans, but he hesitates. He knows that firm policy requires only a two-week notice prior to leaving the firm. Tobias decides that there is no harm in applying, but he questions his long-term intentions with the firm and wonders what to do.

Address the following Questions using complete sentences/paragraphs. Your write up should be a minimum of 1.5 pages, and could be more.

  1. Identify the relevant facts of the case.
  2. Identify the ethical issues within this case.
  3. Identify and list the primary stakeholders in this case.
  4. Identify and discuss the possible alternatives for the dilemma and the ethics of each alternative.
  5. What, if any, are the constraints to the alternatives?
  6. What action should be taken by Tobias and Janice depending on the alternative taken?
