It may seem all the more strange to form this kind of "alliance" with the competitor just ahead of them. Analyze Oracle’s strategy using the theory of lock-in and Compatibility.

Assuming the business plan projections are accurate in 2017, calculate the federal income tax X and Y would owe in 2017 from the interior decorating business if the business is organized as a general partnership. Please show your work and explain your calculations. Only consider income taxes in computation.
b. Assuming the business plan projections are accurate in 2017, calculate the federal income tax X and Y would owe in 2017 from the interior decorating business if the business is organized as a C corporation (both corporate and individual income taxes) . Please show your work and explain your calculations. Only consider income taxes in computation.
c. Assuming the business plan projections are accurate in 2018, calculate the federal income tax X and Y would owe in 2018 from the interior decorating business if the business is organized as a general partnership. Please show your work and explain your calculations. Only consider income taxes in computation.
d. Assuming the business plan projections are accurate in 2018, calculate the federal income tax X and Y would owe in 2018 from the interior decorating business if the business is organized as a C corporation (both corporate and individual income taxes) . Please show your work and explain your calculations. Only consider income taxes in computation.
e. Should X and Y form their business as a general partnership or C corporation? Consider how tax reform impacts your decision. Briefly explain.
f. List at least 2 non tax considerations X and Y may want to consider when choosing between a general partnership and C coporation.

HighLight is an online company that sells lighting products to both the building industry and individual consumers. As a result of its very competitive price schemes, HighLight has developed an extensive customer base, which is reflected in its burgeoning database of customer details, purchasing history and Web usage data. Recognising that this data is potentially valuable to third parties, HighLight’s directors discuss the prospect of selling its customer database to a large insurance company, thus allowing the insurance company to target advertising and mailouts about home and contents insurance packages to home owners. The directors are split on the issue — some view this as an exciting way to add value to their customers, through customised product offerings, while others see it as a gross misuse of information that is not in keeping with the original purpose for which the data were gathered. You have been engaged by HighLight as an ethics consultant and asked to advise the organisation on the possibilities that exist to resolve the boardroom debate. Required Work through the 5 steps of the ethical decision-making model presented in the lecture to evaluate what course of action HighLight should take.
