Acme Fireworks : Business Law

Change occurs all the time in organizations, it is the one thing that is always consistent. In order for an organization to stay relevant they must re-invent themselves in order to continue to satisfy their customers’ needs. My goal in this paper is to share about an organization called Acme Fireworks and to determine if the laws that these businesses will be governed by, analyze the contracts, apply the five essentials elements of an enforceable contract, explain the potential liability if a spectator is injured, discuss the different employment types relevant to this company, and explain why they should not operate as a sole proprietorship.

One policy that city could do to respond to all those young girls dead bodies was to make a specific policy about women workers safety or salary.

When we see fireworks explode, what we’re actually seeing is the explosion of components inside the aerial shell. The aerial shell is made up of gunpowder and stars, small lumps that are comprised of fuel, an oxidizing agent, a metal-containing colorant, and a binder. These stars are what give the fireworks their colors. (De Antonis, pg 8). The metal-containing colorant produces the color when it’s exposed to a flame (in this case, the ignition of the gunpowder) then the fuel and oxidizing agent combine to create a chemical reaction that yields powerful heat and gas (De Antonis, pg 8).The binder holds all these ingredients together when the firework explodes. When the fuse at the bottom of a firework is lit, the energy propels it upwards until

“We have some operating expenses including the programs we print and distribute for our induction ceremony in the spring including our candles. That’s why we try to generate funds to support those types of things. We also think it’s a good opportunity to give back. Which is why we give some of

Acme Fireworks sells fireworks in all their myriad forms. Single-use, aerial display, ground display; if there 's a need, Acme Fireworks supplies it. Starting out as a garage endeavor, Acme Fireworks is a sole proprietorship that is looking to change its entity status due to a recent influx of bigger business contract requests that would mean a larger employee base, more liability risk, and higher demand of a dangerous product (prompting evaluation of insurance protocols and coverage). This act of expansion would lead to the company adhering to the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), as “an order or other offer to buy goods for prompt or current shipment shall be construed as inviting acceptance either by a prompt promise to ship

In a Chinese ritual, tubes made of bamboo filled with gunpowder were thrown into a fire for explosions. After this, gunpowder and tubes have been used for celebrations. As rockets became more advanced, these “fireworks” became more advanced, with more shapes and sizes.

Various liabilities can arise while manufacturing and selling fireworks. Potential personal liabilities can also arise if a customer is injured while using the fireworks and can often be devastating to the owner of a business, especially if the owner is not protected by an appropriate business structure/entity (Rogers, 2012). Hence, in order to expand the business, one of the best precautions would be to change the business from a sole proprietorship to a Limited Liability Company (LLC) (Miller, 2015). Moreover, while transitioning into a larger business, the company would have to hire additional employees or independent contractors so as to keep up with an increase in demand for the products, which leads to the necessity of having a valid contract in place to ensure that every transaction and business dealing is carried out legally (Miller, 2015). Hence, the purpose of this paper will be to provide advice to Acme Fireworks’ owner as the manager on different issues ranging from common law and UCC requirements of business contracts, the essential elements of a contract, personal potential liability in case of injury, the different types of employment and the most appropriate business structure for the company.

Your honour, I represent Drake in his trial for the crime of arson. My client pleads innocent to the charges against him. His act does not fulfil the requirements set out in statute and case law to amount to arson.

Fireworks are one of those things that everyone loves to see every chance they can get. Acme Fireworks wants to start showing fireworks on the regular basis, but it will cost more to hire more people for the labor, insurance, and the service of setting off the fireworks. I will determine if the contract with the businesses will be governed by common law or the Uniform Commercial Code and explain why, analyze whether the owner formed the contract with the business and apply the five essential elements of an enforceable contract. I will explain the potential personal liability to Acme Fireworks if a spectator is injured by a stray firework from a fireworks display, discuss the difference employment types and relationships relevant to agency law and analyze the advantages and disadvantages of each type specific to Acme Fireworks. I will also explain why Acme Fireworks should not operate as a sole proprietorship and I will recommend a new business entity and provide rationale to support my recommendation.

The building was constructed in 1946, designed to be a nightclub. The same building had changed ownership and names numerous times, and had been incarnated as not just a nightclub but also a restaurant and pub. Exact numbers of occupants at the time of the fire is unknown, estimated to be between 440 to 458 persons. When the fire started at the Station Nightclub in West Warwick, Rhode Island, the venue was 100 people over capacity, but "even the legal number was based on a bogus standing-room formula," (Seligson, 2013). An estimated 450 people were inside when the fire occurred (FEMA, 2011).

I truly enjoyed reading the material for this week 's discussion. I found it fascinating to read how these people of passion were so revered as leaders. Something I found difficult while reading the stories of these various leaders was the details of what they did within their respective industries that made them successful. Although I recognize the importance of the details, I found myself continually fanaticizing about how the many different approaches would directly translate to the fire service. Because of the uniqueness of the fire service as an industry, I found it easier to relate to themes and concepts rather than the details. 'Strengths Based Leadership ' by Tom Rath and Barry Conchie For example Simon Cooper stated: "people create memories, not things. If we ask guests what color the carpet was in their guest room, they probably won 't know. The real value comes from the ladies and gentlemen (employees) who bring that hotel to life. Ten percent is the platform, but the rest is people. (Rath & Conchie, 2008, p. 43) As I read this I couldn 't help but think of the fact that our customers in the emergency response world (fire service) likely remember more about how we treat them than what uniform we wear or what kind of apparatus we arrive in, so long as we bring true caring and compassion to their bedside. In addition Cooper 's people over platform approach was obvious in this Rath & Conchie description: "then when he talked of the night-and-day difference that a

For starters, why would someone want to burn property Many people assume that the people that are setting these fire are bad kids or teenagers acting out or looking for attention, but that not the case. The real reason is so people can lie to insurance company and gain money. Sometimes business owners hire professional arsonists to burn down there business without leaving a trace of arson. Other than that investigator might be dealing with a pyromaniac. A pyromaniac is a person who absolutely loves fire. The smell of gas or smoke sends them into ecstasy. Lighting a candle and blowing it out and relighting it and blowing it out repeatedly, watching the smoke lightly twirl around in the air, is a good sign of a pyro. Many pyros can figure out different types of gas and/or what's being burnt just from the

Fireworks in shows such as 4th of July, are much more powerful than those offered to consumers.

Fire Safety Inc. has a very well established brand name in the domestic market holding a leading market share of 58%. FSI estimates that the market will grow by 44% in 2002. For the past 11 years, the HERO lineup has enjoyed increased sales year to year by providing top of the line Digital Breathing Apparatus Systems. Currently, FSI is the leading manufacturer and distributor of these systems. Despite the 5% increase in price for 2001, sales have increased showing no signs of market response. Our competition has their product line set at a slightly lower price (1500$/unit) which indicates a clear weakness in an established market led by our company.
