Question 1: (10 Marks)

Steve, Sunita, and Lily have just graduated from La Trobe University. They wish to go into business together providing book-keeping services to accounting firms. Their intention is to start small, but they hope to eventually grow the business into a large provider of contract book-keeping services to both large and small accounting firms. None of them has much money, although Sunita’s mother, Mary is prepared to invest most of the money they need to get the business started. Steve has developed a book-keeping computer software program which the business will use. Lily tried to set up a similar business with some other friends during the second year of her studies but that fell apart when it was discovered that she had ‘borrowed’ some of a client’s money to buy herself a new car – without asking the client.
