Question 2: Partnerships

In 2008, Dan Baxter and Philip Jones set up a partnership to trade as organic greengrocers under the name Baxter and Co. They frequently purchase organic produce from Yvonne Botica, an elderly farmer. Orders are usually made on the firm’s letterhead, which has the words ‘ D Baxter and P Jones, trading as Baxter & Co’ printed in small type at the bottom.

On 31 August 2017, Philip retires from the partnership and ceases working in the business. Philip’s name is removed from the letterhead but no other notice is given to customers or the public about Philip’s retirement. In October 2017, Dan orders and receives $10,000 worth of goods from Yvonne. However, before the bill is paid Dan becomes insolvent. Yvonne decides to sue Philip as Dan’s partner.

Answer the following questions. Refer to relevant provisions (including subsections) in the Partnerships Act 1908 to support your answers. (a) Is Philip liable to Yvonne for the debt incurred by Dan? In addition to relevant legislation, refer to a case to support your answer.

(b) What steps should Philip have taken when he retired to ensure he would not be liable for post-retirement partnership debts?

A chemical manufacturer is setting up capacity in Europe and North America for the next three years. The annual demand for each market is 1 million Kilograms (kg) and is likely to stay at that level. The two choices under consideration are building 2 million units of capacity in North America (Option 1) or building 1 million units of capacity in each of the two locations (Option2). Building two plants will insure an additional one time cost of 1.5 million. The variable cost of production in North America (for either a large or a small plant) is currently $5/kg, where the cost in Europe is 4 euro/kg. The current exchange rate is 1 euro for the U.S. $1.20. Over each of the next three years, the dollar is expected to strengthen by 6%, with a probability of 0.6, or weaken by 4%, with a probability of 0.4. Assume a discount factor of 8%. What should the chemical manufacturer do? Provide two options’ NPVs.
