Competencies In this project, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following competencies: Apply relevant aspects of law to current business situations Differentiate between matters of law and matters of ethics in business situations Scenario The Friendly Dawg is a retail pet supply store owned by Dave Dawgs. Dave has worked in the store since high school and took over running the store after his father died two years ago. Originally the store sold only pet food and supplies, such as animal food, bird cages, water bowls, pet beds, and so forth. Upon taking ownership, Dave added fish tanks with fish for sale. Recently he built a kennel and cages in a former storage area in the rear of the store in order to sell live animals, such as snakes, birds, dogs, and cats. Landlord Lou came by during renovations and asked what was going on. One of Dave’s employees told Lou that The Friendly Dawg was expanding its inventory and needed the space. Landlord Lou told the employee, “Very exciting! Good luck!” A few weeks later, landlord Lou began receiving complaints from the neighboring tenant, the Sunshine Yoga studio, that the noise from the dogs and parrots was very disruptive. The signed lease between Dave Dawg’s deceased father and Lou describes the business as a pet supply store only and does not mention selling live animals. The lease specifies a rent in the amount of $500 a month. Sunshine Yoga does not have a written lease. The owner of Sunshine Yoga, Jasmine, met Lou one night in a bar two years ago where he verbally offered to rent her the space for $300 a month. Jasmine claims that landlord Lou told her that night that she could rent from him forever and that he would never evict her. Lou called Dave, asking him to quiet the animals. Dave said he would try, but the complaints from Jasmine continued. Dave also demanded that Lou improve the air-conditioning system, claiming it was too hot in the rear of the store for his animals and it was causing them to become agitated. Landlord Lou refused, claiming that air-conditioning was not meant to cool that area and it was not his job as landlord to take care of live animals. Dave stopped paying his rent, claiming that he was not obligated to do so because Lou was breaching his obligation under the lease to maintain the property in good repair. The next day, a dangerous snake escaped through the air vents and slithered into the neighboring yoga studio, frightening Jasmine, the owner, such that she had a heart attack. After recovering, Jasmine stopped paying her rent, claiming that the premises were unsafe due to the presence of wild animals. She also claimed that she has been very depressed and anxious as a result of the ongoing situation. And she contends that she has lost clients because of the noise coming from The Friendly Dawg. The Friendly Dawg has been a good tenant, enjoys a strong customer base, and pays more in rent than Sunshine Yoga. Sunshine Yoga has always been late with rent, and Jasmine constantly bothers Lou over minor issues. Directions Write two short papers—one on contract law and one on tort law. Contract Law Evaluate the potential rights, claims, defenses, obligations, and remedies for each party from the perspective of contract law. Determine whether landlord Lou has a right to evict either party. Use reliable resources, such as the textbook and other course resources, to support your evaluation. Specifically, include the following components in your evaluation: Contract between The Friendly Dawg and landlord Lou Analyze the scenario to determine whether a valid contract still exists between The Friendly Dawg and landlord Lou. Explain the elements of a valid contract, and identify which contract elements, if any, exist between The Friendly Dawg and landlord Lou. Analyze the potential rights, claims, defenses, obligations, and remedies available to both landlord Lou and The Friendly Dawg in this scenario. Support your analysis by referencing specific legal principles or laws. Contract between Sunshine Yoga and landlord Lou Analyze the scenario to determine whether a valid contract still exists between Sunshine Yoga and landlord Lou. Explain the elements of a valid contract, and identify which contract elements, if any, exist between Sunshine Yoga and landlord Lou. Analyze the potential rights, claims, defenses, obligations, and remedies available to both landlord Lou and Sunshine Yoga in this scenario. Support your analysis by referencing specific legal principles or laws. Grounds to evict Describe whether, based on your analysis of each party’s rights and obligations, landlord Lou has the grounds to evict either The Friendly Dawg or Sunshine Yoga. Support your conclusions by referencing specific legal principles or laws. Include a References section and cite your sources using APA style. Tort Law Evaluate the implications of tort law in this scenario and what legal claims Sunshine Yoga might have. Use reliable resources, such as the textbook and other course resources, to support your evaluation. Specifically, include the following components in your evaluation: Tort law: Define what tort law is and how torts may affect business practices. Relevant tort laws: Identify tort laws relevant to the scenario, specifically the incident involving the snake. Legal claims Identify what legal claims Sunshine Yoga might have against The Friendly Dawg and landlord Lou, based on those tort laws and related legal principles. Support your conclusions by referencing the applicable tort laws and related legal principles. Include a References section and cite your sources using APA style. What to Submit To complete this project, you must submit the following two papers: Contract Law Your submission should be a 2- to 3-page Word document with 12-point Times New Roman font, double spacing, and one-inch margins. Sources should be cited according to APA style. Tort Law Your submission should be a 1- to 2-page Word document with 12-point Times New Roman font, double spacing, and one-inch margins. Sources should be cited according to APA style.

Create an executive summary document outlining the entire outsourcing and contracting process for those business processes that you decide to outsource. Your analysis must include the items below. It must include an analysis on which business processes you would outsource versus those that you would maintain in-house. You need to justify your decision for each business process maintained in-house or outsourced (e.g., accounting, editorial, photography, publishing, distribution, printing, layout, advertising, editing, articles, etc.). For those services that you intend to outsource, provide the following. Establish the preliminary performance targets and level of service that will be required from the selected vendors. Establish the type of contract that you will use for each contract (i.e., fixed, cost-plus, reimbursable, unit). Determine the evaluation criteria that you will use to select the preferred vendor(s) (e.g., low price, best value, etc.). Are there different evaluation criteria for different business units? Why? Identify the number of vendors that you will select to provide the services that will be outsourced (i.e., one vendor for all services versus individual vendors with specific expertise in each of the services to be outsourced). Construct a time line that summarizes the bid activities and time duration for each contracting process (i.e., plan purchases and acquisition through select sellers)

I need to have the below 3 problems completed using Excel solver add in. He gives us the objective function value, but I am struggling coming up with the right objective value. Project is due on 7/5/20 at midnight. I need to have this completed. Please send me quotes on this project.I will need the excel workbook to turn in with solver solutions. 1. Golding Landscaping and Plants, Inc. (Ans: Objective Function Value $3.35) Kenneth and Patricia Golding spent a career as a husband-and-wife real estate investment partnership in Washington, DC. When they finally retired to a 25-acre farm in northern Virginia’s Fairfax County, they became ardent amateur gardeners. Kenneth planted shrubs and fruit trees, and Patricia spent her hours potting all sizes of plants. When the volume of shrubs and plants reached the point that the Goldings began to think of their hobby in a serious vein, they built a greenhouse adjacent to their home and installed heating and watering systems. By 2005, the Goldings realized that their retirement from real estate had really only led to a second career—in the plant and shrub business—and they filed for a Virginia business license. Within a matter of months, they asked their attorney to file incorporation documents and formed the firm Golding Landscaping and Plants, Inc. Early in the new business’s existence, Kenneth Golding recognized the need for a high-quality commercial fertilizer that he could blend himself, both for sale and for his own nursery. His goal was to keep his costs to a minimum while producing a top-notch product that was especially suited to the northern Virginia climate. Working with chemists at George Mason University, Golding blended “Golding-Grow.” It consists of four chemical compounds: C-30, C-92, D-21, and E-11. The cost per pound for each compound is indicated in the following table: Chemical Compound Cost Per Pound ($) C-30 0.12 C-92 0.09 D-21 0.11 E-11 0.04 The specifications for Golding-Grow are as follows: a. Chemical E-11 must comprise at least 15% of the blend. b. C-92 and C-30 must together constitute at least 45% of the blend. c. D-21 and C-92 can together constitute no more than 30% of the blend. d. Golding-Grow is packaged and sold in 50-pound bags. 1. Formulate an LP problem to determine what blend of the four chemicals will allow Golding to minimize the cost of a 50-pound bag of the fertilizer. 2. Solve by using Excel to find the best solution. 2. A Blending Problem (Objective Value 3.97) A 16-ounce can of Spotted Owl food must contain protein, carbohydrate, and fat in at least the following amounts: 1. Protein: 48 grams 2. Carbohydrate: 84 grams 3. Fat: 64 grams Four types of food mix are available to be blended together in various proportions to produce a least-cost can of owl food satisfying these requirements. The contents per ounce and prices per ounce of each mix are given in the table: Mix Number: 1 2 3 4 Price per ounce: $0.25 $0.38 $0.18 $0.33 Protein (gm/oz.): 3 5 2 3 Carbohydrate (gm/oz.): 7 4 2 8 Fat (gm/oz.): 5 6 6 2 Each 16 ounce can must be filled with a combination of only these 4 mixes. Formulate and solve this blending problem as a linear programming problem. 3.Staff Scheduling (Optimal Objective value: 1456) The director of the computer center for a college is responsible for scheduling the center's staff. The center is open from 8 am until midnight. The director has monitored the usage of the center at various intervals throughout the day and determined that the following numbers of computer consultants are required. Time of Day Minimum number of Consultants Required 8 am - noon 4 noon - 4 pm 8 4 pm - 8 pm 10 8 pm - midnight 6 Full-time and part-time consultants can be hired. The full-time consultants work for eight consecutive hours in any of the following shifts: morning (8 am - 4 pm), afternoon (noon - 8 pm), and evening (4 pm - midnight). Full-time consultants are paid $14 per hour. Part-time consultants can be hired to work any of the four shifts listed in the table. Part-time consultants are paid $12 per hour. An additional requirement is that during every time period, at least one full-time consultant must be on duty for every part-time consultant on duty (read as the number of full time consultants must be at least as much as the part time consultants). Determine a minimum cost staffing plan for the center.
