hicks and pascall - discussion post

Janet Hicks ran Donna Paschall's business as her agent. Hicks purchased $500 of office supplies needed to run the business. She also reimbursed a customer for the cost of cleaning a suit after an employee spilled coffee on it while the customer was placing an order. Provide another example of an agent/principal relationship. Would you hire an agent to work on your behalf? Why or why not?
