I. Introduction
1. Acme Fireworks sells kinds of fireworks that include but are not limited to single-use and aerial display ground show. If an individual can think of it, Acme Fireworks can supply it. Acme Fireworks is a sole proprietorship that started out in a smal garageand is now looking to change its entity status. They are looking change because of the recent influx of larger business contract requests that will create a larger employee base, causing more liability risk, and higher demand for what some may deam either dangerous or even a hazzardous product which in turn will prompt evaluation of insurance coverage and

Contractual Governance
1. This transaction unifies multiple state governance laws and ordinances into a single code which would best be covered uneder UCC. This would allow growth through ease and efficency with a single code that could affect interstate commerce. This will allow Acme Fireworks to make commerce with inquiring businesses from other states rahter than just it’s own.
III. Contract Creation
1. Firework contracts are provided by Acme Fireworks, which are binding and legal. All participants are required to abide by the contract agreement.

1. Offer

The employee/contractor is obligated to carry out all actions to certify compliance of the contract.
2. The employer is obligated to uphold their contract and ethical behavior of negligence.
4. Contracting versus Employment
1. Due to the job orders being habitual and irregula and not standard, it would be more beneficial and far better economically for Acme Fireworks to employ contractors rather than a full shop staff to put on contractual firework displays.
VI. Sole proprietorship versus Single Member LLC
1. Being taxed twice or just once is determined by how the business files their taxes and is the difference between Sole proprietorship versus Single Member LLC. Filing nad operating as Single member LLC would be more beneficial for Acme Fireworks.
VII. Conclusion
1. Even though Acme Fireworks started out as a sole proprietorship, the expanding markets made the company realize it would be better off switching over to a single member LLC. The UCC warants a rate of control over competting markets and states while legally protecting the company’s limited legal liability in contractual ventures. Therefore the company may enjoy profits for years rather than worry over a difficult market or workforce.

Harmon, an employee of the Labor Department, inspected the factory about a month before the fire he was held up by the factory owners, so, as G.I. Harmon was asked; “...they had plenty of time to remedy any defects that existed temporarily while you were there?”1 He answered yes. One of the main causes of the fire that may have been quickly remedied was the waste strewn about the factory.…

Structural ex ante constrains on the agencies that prevent deviations before they occur “The most effective means for achieving policy stability are constraints on the flexibility of agencies, rather than reliance on rewards, punishments, and oversight.” Enfranchising the constituents of presidents and congress through administrative structure and process, we can constrain the bureaucrats.

    Milestone Three One of the greatest events that resulted from the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire was the creation a nine member commission dubbed the Factory Investigation Commission (FIC). Following the fire, a superficial investigation was completed and it was found that there were conditions in factories and manufacturing establishments that constituted a daily menace to the lives of the thousands of working men, women, and children.

    LIT1 Task A SOLE PROPRIETORSHIP: • LIABILITY – The owner and the business are considered as one and so the owner has unlimited liability for the business. Therefore the all of the owner’s personal assets, the business’s assets and the business’s future earnings may be at risk. • INCOME TAXES – All income for the business goes on the owner’s personal income tax returns whether federal, state or local. One advantage of the sole proprietorship is that the business is not a separate entity and therefore is only taxed once on this income, and another advantage is that all business liabilities may be written off as expenses to offset income. Asset depreciation is an example of this.…

    After reviewing the websites, in particular, the testimonies, my reaction is anger. It amazes no one will take responsibility. I guess, in reality at the time without regulations in place legally no one would have been responsible, however, morally there is no way I believe that the owners Mark Blanck and Isaac Harris did not know what they were doing was wrong, they simply chose greed over humanity and found nothing wrong with working people under terrible conditions, which was par for the course of the time. Following the Triangle Shirtwaist fire over the next few years, sixty regulations were passed. It’s a shame a tragedy like this had to happen for the regulations to pass.…
