Ralph, a dealer in vitamins, advertises in a local newspaper that anyone who buys and takes his vitamins twice a day for three months and then once a day after the three month period will not contract the flu while taking the vitamins. Anybody who catches the flu after following the instructions exactly is entitled to a full refund. James reads the advertisement, purchases the vitamins and takes the vitamins as described in the newspaper advertisement. Unfortunately he catches the flu. He has this confirmed by a blood test. James wants a refund as advertised in the newspaper.

Task 2 – Be able to apply the elements of a contract in business situations
Olly books a weekend break at The County Hotel. He pays for the accommodation in advance. He checks in at the front desk. When he arrives in his room he sees a notice which says:
“The Country Hotel is not liable for loss of property or death or personal injury however so caused.”
Olly leaves his room and locks the door. When he returns he finds that his wallet has been stolen. The Hotel states that it is not liable for the loss.
2a. This is an example of an exclusion clause. Outline the key problems associated with exclusion clauses and explain how an exclusion clause becomes incorporated into a contract. You should use case law and statute to illustrate your answer.
2b. How do the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 and the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contract Regulations 1999 ensure that exclusion clauses are fair and reasonable?
2c. Will The Country Hotel be able to rely on this clause?
———-
Task 3 – Understand principles of liability in negligence in business activities
3a. For a successful claim in negligence, a claimant must prove:
a duty of care exists; the duty of care was breached; and the damage is both direct and foreseeable
Explain and illustrate with reference to cases what is required in establishing each of these requirements and outline the general defences to a claim in negligence.
3b. What is meant by the term vicarious liability? Explain the rules that the courts will apply in deciding if the blame for a negligent act can be shifted from the employee to the employer.
3c. In what ways is the legal relationship between the parties in tort different to the relationship in contract law?
————-
Task 4 – Be able to apply the principles of liability in negligence in business situations
Ria is a new maid at The Country Hotel. Ria’s manager is busy and has told Ria that she will have to start without any training. The training includes health and safety, chemical cleaner usage, socket location and using appliances safely. Ria explains she has never cleaned before but her manager insists she start straight away. Ria reluctantly agrees.
Before she starts cleaning the rooms Ria goes to the cleaning cupboard to get bleach. As a joke the caretaker and another maid give Ria extra strong bleach rather than normal bleach. The bleach should not be used without protective clothing. Ria asks her manager whether she needs protective clothing. The manager, without looking at the bottle says “no, it is just bleach, get on with the cleaning”.
Ria puts the bleach in her cleaning cart and starts to clean the landing carpet with a vacuum cleaner. Ria cannot find a socket on the landing so plugs the vacuum cleaner into a socket in the nearest bedroom. As a result the cable trails across the top of the stairs. Olly runs out of his room to report his stolen wallet. He is not looking where he is going because he is cross. He trips over the vacuum cleaner cable and falls down the stairs. As a result he breaks his leg. Ria is jolted by the force of the pull on the vacuum cleaner cable and stumbles into her cleaning cart. The extra strong bleach falls off the cart, the lid breaks off as the bottle hits the floor. The extra strong bleach splashes on Ria’s legs. As a result Ria suffers burns to her legs.
Apply the rules on both negligence and vicarious liability to consider whether Ria and Olly would be able to claim for the injuries and damage they have suffered and against whom. Remember to consider the exclusion of personal injury clause as it relates to Olly given in Task 2. You should use case law and statute to support your answer.

Work below
You are the Finance Director for a relatively new company, Vista Palace Ltd. The company has been in existence and trading as a Limited company for the last three years. Business has been going well, and they have begun to achieve a decent market share. The company now feels that the time is right to take the next step and try to grow the business further. Their initial idea is to develop a retail outlet; they have the required contacts, but do not have a suitable retail space. With this in mind they have tasked you with the objectives of:
1. Sourcing £1m additional finance;
2. Analysing the case for the proposed capital expenditure (new retail space);
3. And in light of their performance to date, analysing the impact of the decisions above on the company‟s future financial performance
These three elements are considered in the tasks outlined next. Work through each task providing numerical and discursive answers as required. Where appropriate and possible integrate academic source material to support your analyses. When doing so ensure you adopt the Harvard style of referencing.
A series of appendices have been included which will assist you with undertaking the requirements of each task.
Specific tasks are detailed below:
Task Assignment Requirement Tasks link to the following LOs
1a Identify the main benefits of forming a Limited company, as Vista Palace Ltd have done, as opposed to a sole trader or a partnership.
1b Given Vista Palace Ltd’s desire to invest in new retail space, identify the potential sources of finance available to the company? Consider both long term and short term sources of finance, offer definitions, advantages and disadvantages for each of the sources you identify. You should present your answer in a table format.
1c Recommend which source(s) you would suggest using to finance the proposed investment; give brief reasons for your recommendation and discuss how each source would impact on a company’s financial statements.
2a Explain what is meant by weighted average cost of capital (WACC) and given the information in Appendix 3, calculate the WACC of this proposed investment (show your workings).
2b Using the figures provided in Appendix 3, and the WACC calculated in Task 2a, calculate the payback and net present value of the proposed investment.
Based upon these calculations, state what recommendation you would make about the investment and why? What reservations might you have about how reliable your recommendation is likely to be?
3a Appendix 4 provides a 6 month cash flow forecast for one of Vista Palace Ltd’s existing outlets. Firstly discuss the differences between profit and cash. And then, using Appendix 4, comment on the main trends and messages contained within the cash flow forecast (Appendix 4).
3b Identify different groups who may have an interest in the company’s cash flow statement and discuss the different interests that these different groups may have. Also explain why a company may be profitable but run into problems with its liquidity.
3c Using four financial ratios analyse Vista Palace Ltd’s profitability and liquidity over the three year period (two years of actual results, and one years’ worth of budgeted future results after the capital investment has been undertaken). Use the financial statements given in Appendices 1 and 2.
