Assignment Tasks:
This assessment is in two parts: A and B
Part A: Group Presentation – 30% of marks for the module

In groups of 4 and using PowerPoint, analyse the advantages and
disadvantages of an incorporated business structure compared to
an unincorporated structure.  Pay particular attention to the impact
of each structure on the owners of the business.

A copy of the presentation assessment criteria is on page 4 of this document.  Each
person in the group MUST present for five minutes and a copy of the slides should
be given to the assessor prior to the presentation.  Although it is a group
presentation, each student will receive an individual mark.  Presentations will be
assessed in accordance with the assessment criteria on page 4.

(ii)   Marcia placed an advertisement in a shop window which read: ‘£50 Reward
for the return of my black wallet which I lost yesterday, Sunday.  Call 020 000
1111”.
Meanwhile, Frank found a wallet in the street and when he examined it, he
saw an address inside which he understood to be that of the owner.  He was
busy for a couple of days so he waited until Tuesday morning before calling at
the address with the wallet.
Marcia answered the door and was very pleased to see her wallet, complete
with all of the contents.  She thanked Frank and he went on to work.
That evening, on his way home, Frank saw Marcia’s advertisement in the
shop window and he wondered if it was referring to the wallet he had
returned.  He called at Marcia’s house and she confirmed that the
advertisement was hers.  Frank asked for the reward and Marcia told him he
was not entitled to it.
Frank is upset and puzzled and has asked you to explain why Marcia has
refused to give him the reward.
30%

Parts (i) and (ii) have different weighting therefore the word count for each part
should reflect this.  Approximately 1,750 words for part (i) and 750 words for
part (ii).

Please remember that you must provide properly referenced evidence for all of
the claims/assertions you make.

The presentation and the written report represent 100% of the
