Becky is a sculptor, and she has created a new sculpture that she has called The Last Reunion. Most of Becky's sculptures sell for a lot of money, because she is very well-known in the art world, and she has had several of her sculptures on display at major museums like the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) in New York. Becky took her sculpture to the New Seattle Art Gallery in Pioneer Square, for them to evaluate as a possible piece of art for their next show. The New Seattle Art Gallery accepted the sculpture, to sell for Becky for a 15% sales commission, with a proposed sales price of $30,000.

Maria and Jesus are long-time friends from high school. They form a general partnership to build townhouses in new subdivisions. Everything goes pretty well for the first couple of years, and they each make a good living. Then, Maria goes to Las Vegas for a week, and loses ALL of her property gambling at the casinos. Determined to "recoup her losses" at the roulette wheel, she withdraws all the cash from the partnership bank accounts (including the employee payroll for the next week) and goes back to Vegas. Unfortunately, she loses worse than she did before - all of the partnership bank account money is gone. In a fit of despair, Maria gets drunk and drives the partnership pickup-truck off a cliff, and dies. The county coroner rules that it was death by suicide. Because she died by suicide, the life insurance company refuses to pay on her $250,000 life-insurance policy. As Maria had already lost all her other property gambling, there is nothing in Maria's estate to pay her remaining debts. a. as general partners, Jesus will be legally responsible for all debts of the company - even those created by Maria b. Jesus will only be responsible for paying debts of the company that he personally created on behalf of the company. c. Jesus will only be responsible for paying the payroll to the company employees. All the other business debts will just go away" because of Maria's death. d. Jesus can always file suit against Maria's estate, to get back her 50% of all the liabilities that he has to pay. 41.

The owners suspect that one of the two bookkeepers is somehow skimming money from the hotel and keeping it! They report this to the police, who sent a police "Fraud Investigator" to interview bookkeepers, and other staff at the hotel. Susannah: a. has the right not to answer any of the questions if there is the possibility of her being convicted of a crime. b. has to answer all questions fully and honestly. c. may be legally forced to take a "lie-detector test" to establish her innocence. 42.
