Scenario 1

1. The energy division of X’s developed a new oil that will be sold to wholesalers.  The vice president of marketing asked you to review the four pricing proposals submitted by the marketing teams.   
• X’sshould set a minimum price that the wholesalers can charge.
• X’s should set a maximum price that the wholesalers can charge.
• The wholesalers can charge any price they want within a certain range; if they charge a higher price, they must give the customer a rebate or coupon for the differential.
• The wholesalers can charge any price they want, but if they advertise a price that is less than X’s specified minimum advertised price, the wholesalers are not entitled to receive the marketing funds that X’s provides to wholesalers that do not advertise prices that are less than the specified minimum.
• Question 1.
  • What are the legal pros and cons of each marketing proposal? What additional information do you need to adequately respond to the vice president?      
    

   

  Scenario 2
  

  In 2008, 50-year-old Ophelia Paine was involved in a collision with a semi-trailer, which left her with permanent brain damage and in a wheelchair. The accident was not related to Paine’s work with X

  . Her husband and two children were awarded a $900,000 accident settlement from the trucking company. After legal costs and other expenses, the remaining $615,000 was put in a special trust to care for Mrs. Paine. However, five years later the providers of Mrs. Paine’s health plan at X sued the Paines for the $375,000 the company spent on her medical care. X claimed that they were entitled to the money because in the fine print of Mrs. Paine’s employment contract it said that money won in damages after an accident belonged to X.
  

  Question 2.
