Jill is a known prostitute, rented an apartment from Jacob. Jacob is unaware of Jill’s profession and gracefully rented the apartment which was unoccupied for the last year.

Jill did not pay her rent for 3 months and Jacob sought to enforce the right to terminate the rental agreement and sue for the outstanding rent. Jill has indicated that she will not pay any outstanding rent and told Jacob that his contract with her was illegal bearing in mind that she was using the apartment for the illegal purpose of prostitution. Advise Jacob on this matter.

- You have a fruit stand. At the beginning of each week, you order some fruit, and sell it retail at a 100% markup. For example, a piece of fruit that you sell retail for $5 cost you $2.50. At the end of the week, any fruit not sold is sold to a juicer for 40% of what you paid for it (or 20% of the retail price). (For example, you pay $2.50 for a piece of fruit, which you can sell retail for $5, but if you don't sell it retail you can sell it to a juicer for $1.) The average amount of fruit that your customers want to purchase that week is $10,000 (Retail. In other words, you paid 5,000 for it.). This amount is distributed normally, with a standard deviation of $1,000. To maximize your long term profits, how much fruit (in terms of retail price) should you purchase each week?

In addition, you just closed another deal with a new customer for $100,000 worth of software and customer service. This order would put you way over your sales quota for the current quarter. Your manager suggests that you hold this new order so it gets recorded against next quarter. She explains that because sales during the next three months tend to slow down, salespeople frequently miss their quotas and associated sales bonuses for that quarter.

- Briefly stated, a theory is a set of statements that serves to explain the manner in which certain concepts or variables are related. These statements result both from our present level of knowledge on the topic and from our assumptions about the variables themselves. The theory allows us to deduce logical propositions, or hypotheses, that can be tested in the field or laboratory. In short, a theory is a technique that helps us understand how variables fit together. Their use in research and in management is invaluable (Black & Bright, 2019).
