James works for Peter's Computer Repair, owned & operated by Peter. As a computer technician, James has grown accustomed to friends & family members asking for assistance with their personal computers. In an effort to increase his income, James started a personal computer repair business that he operates out of his home on a part-time basis, working evenings & weekends. Because James is doing this "on the side" for family & friends, he does not want to charge as much as Peter's charges its customers. When Peter assigned James the task of developing the budget for his department, James increased the amount budgeted for computer parts. When the budget was approved, James purchased as many parts as the budget allowed, even when they were not needed. He then took the extra parts home to use in his personal business in an effort to keep his cost down & profits up. So far, no one at Peter's has asked about the expense of the parts because James has not allowed the actual amount spent to exceed the budgeted amount.

Doug, the 17 year old brother of a friend of yours, bought your old car from you three months ago to get him to and from his new job. He needed a car because there was no public transportation in that area. You agreed to let him pay in 36 monthly instalments of $200, but he has paid you only once so far. Yesterday, you asked him to pay up and he told you he had spent all he had earned. When you told him you would have to take him to court, he said that an adult cannot sue a minor on a contract. Today, a tow truck left the remains of the car in your driveway; it had been so badly damaged in an accident that was Doug's fault that it was a write-off. A note on the windshield said "Your car doesn't run too well, but I won't sue. Let's call it quits, Best wishes, Doug." Under your contract he was to have insured the car, but he did not. Discuss whether you have any legal remedy against Doug.arrow_forward
