Sarah and Wei have an opportunity to buy a large parcel of land on the Willamette River, just two miles south of Salem. They want to build an amusement park on the land. Sarah approaches you and says, "Hey, I know you took that BA 333 class, so maybe you can help me figure out what to do. Wei and I need a lot of money to start up our amusement park and buy the land we want, and we're a little nervous about getting sued if someone gets thrown out of our roller coaster. What kind of business do you think we should we set up? We were thinking maybe we could just be partners. We'd prefer not to have anything formal written down--we think that might be bad for our friendship. What's your advice?" Draft an answer to Sarah and Wei and include it in your document. Your answer should include: 1) your recommendation for the best entity choice; 2) a complete explanation of why this is the best option; 3) a secondary recommendation, in case Sarah and Wei don't like your first option; 4) an explanation as to why this is your second choice (i. e., compare to your first choice and explain why this is not as good, but still an acceptable option).

Daniel owns 100 shares of abc corporation's common stock. abc uses the fair value option, and recent declines in the firm's credit rating have caused the value of the firm's outstanding bonds payable to drop by 10%. daniel feels this is good news, but he wants to know what you think about the situation. which of the following represents your best response? a : "this situation may be positive for you in that the change in abc's credit standing indicates that the value of the firm's assets is likely increasing. however, the drop in bond value may negate any positive effects on your bottom line, because it means your claim on the firm's assets is simultaneously decreasing." b : "actually, this is bad news all around. the drop in the value of abc's bonds payable means shareholders' claims on the firm's assets have decreased. moreover, abc's declining credit rating means that the firm's assets are probably also dropping in value, thus magnifying your losses even more." c : "on the surface, this seems like good news because it means your claim on the firm's assets has increased. however, the drop in creditworthiness may also indicate that abc's assets are declining in value, thus offsetting any gains associated with the drop in bonds payable." d : "you're right! this is good news because it means that abc's debtholders have a decreased claim on the firm's assets. as a result, the firm's existing shareholders"like you"have seen their claim on the firm's assets increase."
