    Ravi isa first year student at USC andheis studyingBusiness, with a major in Accounting.Archanaand Raviare in the same Business law and Ethics class (Ravi thought the course might be too hard and left it ‘til his last year).ArchanalikesRavi. She thinks his clothes are a bitold fashioned and he seems a bit sleepy but still she likes him.
    Archana knows thatRaviworks atMcDonald’sas a Manager. She decided tomeet her friends at McDonald’son her18th birthday and hoped thatRavi would be on duty … and he was.Ravi thinksArchana is nice but he’s rather more interested in her friendLakshmi, who is a bit older: she’s 19.
    On the night ofArchana’s 18th birthday,Ravi was the manager on duty. It was a long and busy night andRavihad to help behind thecounter cooking the hamburgers and chips because one of the staff had called in sick. At around9:00 pm,Dara, who is employed at theMcCafe approached Ravi, who was tending the bar, and told him that someone had been sick near the main door.
    “Have you cleaned it up, then?” yelledRavi over the noise of thecustomers.
    “Yeah, yeah,” saidDara“But it’s an awful mess.”
    Ravi thought he’d better go check but just thenLakshmicame up to thecounter to order.Ravi nudged past the othercounter attendant to serve her and completely forgot about the ‘awful mess.’
    Archana could seeRavi smiling atLakshmi andate more chips plus somevodka she had brought into McDonald’s in her water bottle. By the end of theeveningArchana was very intoxicated.
    About 10:00am,Archana was ready to head home. She stumbled toward the main door and, in a final attempt to gainRavi’s attention, turned to wave him goodbye. She slipped on the ‘awful mess’ and fell on her back with a thud.Archana was wearing the latest fashion in stilettos – shoes with two inch platforms and 5 inch, very narrow heals. As she fell the right heel of her shoe broke away from the sole causing a particularly twisted, heavy fall. It turns out that someone had spilt cream from the birthday cake onto the vomit on the floor creating a doubly slippery surface, according to forensic investigations.
    Archana sustained a fracture to her lower back and will need surgery. She will have to lie in bed for some months in order to recover. She’ll have to give up her part-time job at Safeway. Fortunately no one else was injured. It was reported that the mess was seen and avoided by others at the party.
    Archana’s interest inRavi has turned sour. She wishes to sueRavi in Negligence. Advise her as follows:
    1.Did Ravi oweArchana a duty of care at the time of the incident?(15 Marks)2.CanArchana prove that Ravi breached a duty of care owed to her? (15 Marks)3.CanArchana prove the element of damage in an action against Ravi? (15 marks)4.Could Ravi raise any defences? (15 marks)5.What damagesArchana be entitled to if she is successful in her claim? (5marks)
    •Provide an introduction and conclusion (5 marks).•Further marks will be allocated for structure, expression and referencing (10 marks)
    You are asked to ignore any questions of vicarious or occupiers’ liability. Confine your discussion to a consideration ofRavi’s personal liability in negligence.

    Question 1 (Contract Law)
    On 1 October, Buyer saw a courier van parked in a carpark with a FOR SALE sign that included a telephone number and a price of “$25,000 cash.” That night, Buyer called Seller. Buyer explained that he would have to borrow the money to purchase the vehicle but could get it next week. Seller provided his address to Buyer and told Buyer, “If you want the van, mail me a cheque for $5000 today. Pay the balance by 1 November.” Later that same day, Buyer mailed Seller a $5000 cheque.
    The next night, at Buyer’s 18th birthday party, Buyer discussed the deal with Investor. After buying the van, Buyer planned to start a document courier service.Since mailing Seller the $5000 cheque yesterday, Buyer had spent $1200 on business cards, flyers and a mobilephone. Buyer projected a profit of $50,000 in the first year. Investor was impressed with Buyer’s plans and agreed to loan Buyer $20,000 to buy the van.
    On 25 October, Buyer called Seller to pick up the van. Seller refused and said someone had offered him $35,000 for the van. Seller had not cashed Buyer’s cheque as yet. Seller offered to deposit the cheque and give him the van if Buyer would pay Seller $20,000 now plus $400 a month for 25 months. Buyer laughed and said, “Yeah, right.” But without a van, Buyer would not be able to start his courier service.
    Answer the following questions in detail, providing reasons for your answers. Refer to relevant case law to support your arguments:
    1. What are Buyer’s potential claims against Seller? What are Seller’s potential defences? Who is likely to prevail should this case goes to court? (10 marks)
    2. Assume Buyer prevails in his lawsuit against Seller. What remedy(s) is Buyer likely to receive from the court? (10 marks)
    (Total marks: 20)
    Question 2
    Explain the meaning and implications of the following terms and concepts. In your answers, also identify and describe any legal framework(s) that affect or incorporate them (so, if you were asked to describe bills of exchange, you would define and explain a chose in action, negotiability and the Bills of Exchange Act 1909).
    a. Chattel Mortgage
    b. Perfection
    c. Fixture
    d. Torrens – System of registration for land rights and interests.

    This assessment is designed to assess your ability to:
    • Research workforce requirements
    • Develop workforce objectives and strategies
    • Implement initiatives to support workforce planning objectives
    • Monitor and evaluate workforce trends
    Assessment T1 is a portfolio of evidence that utilises different assessment tools as specified in this document.
    To complete your assessment you are to consider the following scenario:
    Coffeeville is a small successful coffee shop based in the Melbourne CBD that offers a new experience in coffee, complimented with quality food and service. The Shop is open from 7:00 am until 5:00 pm Monday to Friday and comfortably seats 24 people for meals and 8 people can sit by the window to drink coffee and watch the world pass by. The staff at the coffee shop include the two owners (who manage the store and the administration) 2 kitchen staff and 6 part time wait staff who work part time (4 in the morning, including the lunch hour, and 2 who work in the afternoon.
    There is a fairly high turnover of staff as the specifically try to employ students on study visas that are enrolled in training courses in the nearby area.
    The business has been very successful and the owners are planning open a new coffee shop in the Sydney CBD in the next two years. The Sydney operation will be similar to Melbourne however, administrative support and buying will be conducted in Melbourne.
    Consider that in this scenario, you are required to create a workforce profile for the coffee shop (based on similar businesses that you may be aware of), ask your trainer for guidance.
    More information on Coffeeville is available at:
    http://coffeeville.simulations.australiantrainingproducts.com.au/
    WORKFORCE ANALYSIS REPORT
    Prepare a workforce analysis report that addresses:
    • Internal business workforce analysis to include:
    o Staff turnover
    o Skills and capability audit
    o Workforce profile (to include diversity quotas)
    o Workforce metrics (example FTE and labour arrangements)
    o Any other relevant information emerging from your analysis
    • Labour supply trends in the country and in the industry of choice

    Objectives
    This assessment item relates to the unit learning outcomes numbers 1, 2 and 3 as stated in the unit profile.
    Part A. Database implementation using MS Access (30 Marks)
    Introduction
    The sample solution of assignment 1 will be released on the unit website approximately two (2) weeks after the assignment 1 due date. You must use that sample solution of assignment 1 only for the following tasks:
    Assessment task
    1 Normalization
    a) Map the ERD, from the sample solution, into a set of relations in at least Third Normal Form (3NF). You must ensure that your relations meet 3NF. There is no need to show your working.
    b) Select any two of your relations from the previous step, 1a), and perform the following for each of those two relations:
    • List all the functional dependencies exist in the relation.
    • Demonstrate that the relation meets Third Normal Form (3NF).
    For your help, an example for a Student relation’s 3NF justification has been provided below:
    STUDENT (StudentID, Name, Address, DateOfBirth)
    i. The primary key is StudentID which identifies a student. There will be one student name per Student ID because only one name is recorded for each student. Even though a student may have multiple addresses (e.g. a home address and a work address), the case study states that there is a need to record the home address only and hence there will be only one address for each student. There will be only one date of birth for each student. Thus, there are no repeating groups. Hence, this relation is in 1NF.
    ii. The primary key is StudentID. This is the only candidate key since Name is not guaranteed to be unique (two different students may have the same name). Address is also not guaranteed to be unique. This means that Student ID functionally determines every other attribute in the table. The candidate key, StudentId, is a simple and single valued attribute. Therefore no partial dependencies are possible. Hence, the relation is in 2NF.
    iii. Name cannot be used to functionally determine any other attribute in the table since two different students may have the same name; likewise for address and date of birth. Therefore there are no transitive dependencies in the table. Therefore it meets the requirements of first, second and third normal form.
    2 Relational database implementation
    Note: Use the relations that you created in the above step 1- Normalization to create a database. The recommended tool for this work is Microsoft Access, version 2010 or later. One reason for recommending Microsoft Access is that your unit lecturer/tutor will be able to provide adequate support to you in the use of this tool. The remainder of this document in Part A assumes that you are using MS-Access.
    In implementing the ER model provided, you must complete the following tasks:
    • Create all the relations in a Microsoft Access database. Consider each attribute in every table and make appropriate choices regarding data types & sizes, indexes, required/not required and validation rules. Your choices should be appropriate for each attribute and should support data integrity. (Note: see the Data Integrity section below for specific data integrity requirements)
    • Create relationships as appropriate. Enforce referential integrity for all appropriate relationships in the database. Apply cascade update and/or delete options wherever necessary.
    • Review the default index created by Access for each table. You should ensure that the indexes follow the guidelines given in the unit textbook.
    • Populate the database with sample data of your own. You must include sufficient sample data to test your queries and report. Please note that the expected result of query questions may depend on the actual sample data populated.

  • Describe the main focus of your plan in your own words, e.g. ‘This plan is designed to develop my…

    Context
    “He who fails to plan, plans to fail.” This saying has been attributed to several people in
    history including American President Benjamin Franklyn, British Prime Minister Sir Winston
    Churchill, among others. Regardless of its author, the saying explains the importance of
    taking what you have learned about yourself in the business/entrepreneurial context, and
    building a plan to be successful in these situations in the future. A plan is about taking action
    in achievable and measurable steps. But, having prepared a plan, how do you know if it is
    sound? Who in your trusted professional networks would review it and give you honest and
    critical feedback?
    This assessment requires you to prepare a professional development plan taking into
    account the self-analysis you conducted in your professional capability assessment
    (assessment 3). In developing your development plan, you are required to identify
    professional networks and/or trusted mentors who will provide you with valuable critical
    feedback.
    Instructions:
    To develop your development plan, you must meet the following requirements:
    1. Title of your professional development plan.
    Describe the main focus of your plan in your own words, e.g. ‘This plan is designed to
    develop my goals, methods and Key Performance Indicators for my professional
    development as an entrepreneur’.
    ENT101 Assessment 4 Brief Page 2 of 4
    2. Identify the ‘5 achievable and measurable steps’ in your professional development
    plan, as covered in modules 5.2 and 6.2.
    3. Present your 5 steps in a table or a diagram. You may use the professional
    development plan example template provided in the assessment resources in
    Blackboard, or develop your own to cover the same 5 steps.
    4. Identify 1 SMARTT Goal for each step, and outline the personal challenges each goal
    will address.
    5. Specify the methods you will use to achieve your identified goals. Provide a
    minimum of 1 method per goal.
    6. Propose your Key Performance Indicators (KPI) that will show how you intend to
    evaluate your progress in achieving your goals. Provide a minimum of 1 KPI per goal.
    7. Identify at least 2 professional networks/specific mentors who could review your
    plan and provide feedback.
    8. Design 5 indicative questions you would pose to your reviewers and add these to
    your plan. Include feedback received from any reviewers.
    9. Establish indicative timelines for each step and goal in your professional
    development plan.
    Submission Instructions:
    Submit your Professional Development Plan via the assessment link in the main navigation
    menu in ENT101 Introduction to Entrepreneurship.
    The learning facilitator will provide feedback via the Grade Centre in the LMS portal.
    Feedback can be viewed in My Grades.
