wners and employees of a company can create contractual personal liability for themselves if they sign a contract on behalf of the company, but the wording of the contract does not make it clear that the signer is signing on behalf of a company. This often occurs when an employee signs a guaranty on behalf of the company. As this article on guaranty (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. notes, it can be very difficult for the guarantor do get out of the personal guarantee. The other contracting party must release the guarantor from the agreement.

The Perfect Petal, a florist company, entered into a credit agreement with Flower Supplier, Inc. Flower Supplier, Inc., required Mandy, the CEO of The Perfect Petal, to sign a personal guaranty with a credit agreement. The credit agreement and personal guaranty were very similar to the one here. A few years later, Mandy called Flower Supplier, Inc. and told someone that she was selling The Perfect Petal to Jim, but never heard back from them.

A few years more passed and Flower Supplier, Inc. contacted Mandy to say that The Perfect Petal had racked up a huge bill and that Mandy, as guarantor of the credit agreement, was liable.

Why is a personal guarantee preferable to a lien in this situation? (Hint, is there a type of lien that Flower Supplier could get on Perfect Petal's property?).

Assuming that Mandy did not properly terminate the guaranty, is holding her liable on a credit agreement relating to a company she sold the appropriate outcome? Why are personal guarantys so difficult to terminate? Would this make you think twice about entering into a personal guaranty?

From Dunkin Donuts to Just Dunkin! The famous American Donut’s brand is rebranding and closing stores across the world including Oman as its outlets have shut down for good. The demand for donuts in America is decreasing as customers preferring more healthy food with less sugar and fat.

The company’s brand CEO Mr. David Hoffmann said, “the rebranding comes as an effort to reshape the company’s strategic goals and focusing on drinks more than donuts.” While analyzing the company’s different products, the managers

noticed that 60% of its revenue is coming from drinks like coffee while demand for donuts is declining.

The company redesigned its brand, and its stores making them look simpler. The company is also introducing new coffee experiences like nitro, cold brew, black...etc. The company will also introduce digital menu and drive through to fit the customers on the go lifestyle. The company will also reduce its employees as the new digital menus will eliminate the need of human employees, reducing the company’s costs.

  1. On the product life cycle, where the donuts fall? What are the best strategies the company can use in this case?
  2. Explain, how the demographic environment is affecting the company?
  3. Develop Integrated Marketing Communication for the new brand “Dunkin” (5Marks)
  4. Do you agree or disagree with the company’s rebranding strategy? Support your opinion based on your knowledge of the factors influencing the buyer behavior.
  5. Discuss the role technology plays in Dunkin donuts new strategy.

William Smith, Sr., was the founder of Smith Enterprises, Inc. He owns 60% of the stock of Smith Enterprises (60,000 shares of 100,000 shares outstanding, stock basis $100 per share). The value of the stock was recently determined to be about $500 per share. Over the years, William, Sr., has done a very good job of getting his sons and daughters (and even grandchildren) involved in the business, and the other 40% of the Smith Enterprises stock is owned by is two daughters, his son and his granddaughter. William, Sr., has reached the point in his life where he is ready to retire from the family business that he founded. He has done a sufficiently good job of training up the younger generation in the management of the business that he feels able to completely withdraw from the business.

In a few concise, coherent sentences, advise William, Sr., of what steps he needs to take to assure that the tax consequences of the redemption of all of his stock in Smith Enterprises will be treated as a sale of stock (long-term capital gain/loss), rather than as distribution (dividend income). If William, Sr., cannot understand your advise, he will fire you and you will lose a $600,000-per-year client, so make sure that your advise is both correct and coherently presented.
