Due Week 5 and worth 150 points
In Part 1 of your Justification Report assignment, you built up the following sections: Problem Statement, Overview of Alternatives, Criteria, and Methods. In Part 2, you will revise Part 1 based on your instructor’s suggestions and add to it the following sections: Evaluation of Alternatives, Findings and Analysis, and References.
Use the basic outline below to draft your paper. Organize your responses to each question under the following section headings:
Evaluation of Alternatives (for Questions 1-3)
Findings and Analysis (for Questions 4-5)
References (for Question 6)
Using the provided template, write Part 2 of a single-spaced report in which you:
Include and revise the sections from Assignment 2.1 (Problem Statement, Overview of Alternatives, Criteria, and Methods) per instructor suggestions.
Research the two (2) alternatives (i.e. possible solutions) that you’ve identified in your Part 1 Evaluation of Alternatives section. Record bibliographic information during research.
Example: You might research other organizations that have attempted similar solutions to the problem you have identified and explore the results of those experiments.
Use what you discover in your research to evaluate each alternative by each of your five (5) criteria.
Example: If your research revealed that four (4) companies similar to yours increased productivity after allowing their workers to telework from home three days per week, you might conclude that one of your suggested alternatives – in this case, the option to telework from home three days per week – satisfies one of your criterion of “Productivity” as a high-potential solution to a problem you’ve identified (of decreased worker morale and productivity at Doe’s Electronics). However, additional research might frustrate a recommendation of this alternative if it is found to fall short of other criteria while a second alternative fares better. For instance, a telework alternative might be found to be too costly to implement; too frustrating for consumers who prefer daily, in-person customer service; or too divergent from the company’s brand, “Always there for you!”
Organize the assignment by your criteria. Explain in narrative form how each of your two (2) alternatives stacks up against your first criterion. Next, explain how each alternative stacks up against your second criterion, etc.
Example: An abbreviated outline of what this longer section might look like based on the above example is below (Note: Only the first two [2] of five [5] required criteria are included to give you a feel for the structure). Your researched findings, represented as circled bullets below, should be explained in two to five (2-5) sentences. Include in-text citations and follow up with References in APA style):
Evaluation of Alternatives
Productivity
Alternative A: Telework from home three (3) days per week
{narrate findings based on research article 1 here}
Alternative B: Offer two (2) extra Floating Holidays to each employee per year
{narrate findings based on research article 2 here}
Cost
Alternative A: Telework from home three (3) days per week
{narrate findings based on research article 1 here}
Alternative B: Offer two extra Floating Holidays to each employee per year
{narrate findings based on research article 2 here}
Briefly summarize in narrative form the major discoveries that emerged from the Evaluation of Alternatives section.
Include a chart like the ones below to illustrate at a glance:

The document you produce should be roughly 2-3 pages long, including visuals. Please use a report style, which means single spacing and the use of headings and a strong forecasting statement.
This document will have three parts:
1. Identify a sample data set and a narrative you wish to construct with that data. Below are some great sites with voluminous data; you may also bring in your own data set if you wish. The important next steps after identifying a small, manageable set of data to work with will be the following. No need to create the visual just yet; instead, simply write our your responses to these bullet points:
· Identify the narrative you wish to construct with the data. For example, pulling from World Bank data you could compare life expectancy rates for two nations in order to make a claim. Or, pulling from Acclaimed Music, you could show the rise and fall of gangsta rap.
· Describe your audience, purpose, and context.
· Select and describe the visual you will create and explain why the visual approach you’re taking is the best for your chosen rhetorical situation.
Sample data sets:
· http://data.worldbank.org/
· http://www.google.com/publicdata/directory
· http://www.data.gov/
· http://www2.stetson.edu/~jrasp/data.htm
· http://www.acclaimedmusic.net/
2. Make a visual that fulfills the requirements of the rhetorical situation you identified in the first part.

Jim and Laura Buyer visit the local car dealership because they are interested in buying a new car. The car they currently have is aging and is starting to have mechanical problems. Jim and Laura would share the new car, and use it to go back and forth to work and school. Before going to the dealership, Jim and Laura decide that they can only afford $400.00 a month in car payments.
Once at the car dealership, Jim and Laura meet Stan Salesman. Stan shows them several vehicles and Jim and Laura test-drive several of the cars. Jim and Laura particularly like the blue 4-door sedan. Therefore, they agree to give Stan Salesman a $100.00 deposit to hold the car for a day. Stan Salesman does not give them the receipt but guarantees that the $100.00 is refundable. No documents were signed.
The next day, Stan Salesman calls Jim and Laura to ask them when they would like to take delivery of the car. Jim and Laura, on the way home from the dealership, decided that they were not going to buy the car because they did not want to spend that money each month. Therefore, Jim and Laura tell Stan salesman that they have decided not to buy the car and request their $100.00 deposit back.
Stan insists that the $100.00 was a deposit on the car and was meant to be part of the contract to buy the car. Stan is very persistent and insistent that Jim and Laura have contracted to buy the car; therefore, the $100.00 will be applied to the purchase price of the car. Jim and Laura are shocked and angry as not only do they not want to spend the money, but now feel as though they are being duped by Stan Salesman.

They are very frazzled, and understandably upset that they may have just purchased a car. Since you have been taking business law, you have read and understand the elements of a contract and the defenses to a contract. Therefore, although you are not a lawyer, you provide some basic advice from what you’ve learned in your business law class.
In three to five (3-5) pages, advise Jim and Laura based on the above facts as presented, the material provided in the text, and material covered in the lecture. In your paper, be sure to address the following:
Define the elements of a legal contract using examples from the scenario where applicable.
Decide whether or not there was a contract for the purchase of the automobile.
Identify the facts from the scenario which support your decision on whether or not a contract exists for the purchase of the automobile.
