BUS 307 Business Law II sample papers, module by module

Reviewed by Portia Lambrick, MBA

BUS 307 carries business law into the questions that come with growth: how a business is organized and who can bind it, how goods are bought and sold under the Uniform Commercial Code, how lenders take security and what happens when a customer goes bankrupt. The samples below follow one composite family beekeeping business in North Dakota through each of those questions in a single busy year.

BUS 307 is SNHU’s Business Law II course. It centers on advanced business law: partnerships, limited liability companies and corporations, agency and authority, employment relationships, sales of goods under the Uniform Commercial Code, secured transactions, bankruptcy and intellectual property for business owners. Every module below opens a full sample paper or takes a free request for one; searches like "bus 307 module 3", "BUS307 sample paper" and "BUS 307 milestone example" land on this page.

What BUS 307 is really about

BUS 307 is SNHU's second business law course, and it rewards work that matches each business event to the specific legal framework that governs it, such as a partnership statute, an agency rule, an article of the Uniform Commercial Code or a section of the Bankruptcy Code, and then applies it step by step. Strong submissions explain what the business should have done before the problem arose as well as what it can do now.

The samples on this shelf share one composite business: a commercial beekeeping operation near Minot, North Dakota, run by three siblings as a general partnership since their father retired, with about 6,000 hives, two semitrailers, eleven seasonal workers, almond pollination contracts in California each February and bulk honey sales to packers, and revenue near $3.2 million. The business, its people and its figures are illustrative.

What BUS 307’s modules ask for

Across eight modules, BUS 307 typically asks for discussions on choosing a business form, secured lending and protecting a brand, assignments on business entities, agency and employment and sales contracts, and two projects analyzing entity and agency risks and a set of commercial transactions.

Where students lose points in BUS 307

The most common BUS 307 deduction comes from naming the right body of law but not the specific rule, for example citing the Uniform Commercial Code without saying which section decides a conflict between forms. Close behind are entity recommendations that ignore taxes or the owners' goals, and secured lending answers that skip perfection and priority. Naming the rule and walking the facts through it fixes most of these.

The BUS 307 drawers

Module 1

BUS 307 Module 1 Discussion example

An opening post on why three siblings who run a composite North Dakota beekeeping business as a general partnership should change form: a semitrailer of 480 hives that overturned in Nebraska and drew a $210,000 claim, the rule that each partner is personally liable for the whole partnership's debts, a pending divorce that unsettled who owns what, and why a limited liability company would protect their homes while keeping a single layer of tax, with Mallor and colleagues, the Revised Uniform Partnership Act and Bainbridge.

Module 2

BUS 307 Module 2 Business Entities Assignment example

A business entities assignment that compares the general partnership a composite North Dakota beekeeping family already has with a member-managed LLC, an S corporation and a C corporation on liability, taxes, management, ownership transfer, financing, formation costs and the formalities each demands, recommends an LLC taxed as a partnership, and sets out what its operating agreement must say about divorce, death, a sibling who wants out, who signs contracts and how profits are paid, with the steps to convert and the habits that keep the liability shield intact, with Mallor and colleagues, Bainbridge and IRS Publication 3402.

Module 3

BUS 307 Module 3 Agency and Employment Assignment example

An agency and employment assignment on two problems at a composite North Dakota beekeeping business: a crew foreman who signed a $92,000 contract for a used semitractor in the business's name though he could approve only $5,000, and whether earlier purchases the siblings paid without objection gave him apparent authority, and eleven seasonal workers paid by the hive as contractors although the business sets their hours, supplies the trucks and directs the work, tested under the economic reality approach and the federal wage law's treatment of beekeeping as agriculture, with the Restatement of Agency, Mallor and colleagues and the Labor Department's agricultural fact sheet.

Module 4

BUS 307 Module 4 Project One example

The first project gives the three siblings who own a composite North Dakota beekeeping business one plain memo on the legal fixes their year exposed: converting the partnership to an LLC before spring, an operating agreement that answers the divorce and buyout questions, an authority policy that tells vendors who may sign for what after a foreman's $92,000 truck purchase, reclassifying eleven seasonal workers as employees with the overtime exemption beekeeping allows, and a timeline, owners and rough costs for each, with Mallor and colleagues, the Restatement of Agency and Bainbridge.

Module 5

BUS 307 Module 5 Sales Contracts Assignment example

A sales contracts assignment on eighty drums of clover honey a composite North Dakota beekeeping business sold to a Minnesota packer: whether a contract formed when the packer's purchase order and the seller's acknowledgment did not match, which terms survive under the Code's battle-of-the-forms section when one form disclaims warranties and names North Dakota arbitration and the other requires lab testing, whether six drums testing above the moisture limit let the packer reject, the seller's right to cure, the implied warranty of merchantability and what each side can recover, with Mallor and colleagues, Step-Saver Data Systems v. Wyse Technology and White, Summers and Hillman. Full sample paper, read it free.

Module 6

BUS 307 Module 6 Discussion example

A discussion post on what a bank actually takes when it lends a composite North Dakota beekeeping business $650,000 against its hives, honey and almond pollination receivables: how Article 9 classifies bees and honey as farm products and the fees as accounts, why the bank must file a financing statement to beat later creditors, why the dealer who financed the new semitrailer still comes first on that truck, what happens to the bank if honey is sold to a packer, and whether the owners should worry, with Mallor and colleagues, White, Summers and Hillman and Schwartz.

Module 7

BUS 307 Module 7 Project Two example

The second project works out what a composite North Dakota beekeeping business can recover after its largest honey buyer, a Minnesota packer owing $380,000, files for Chapter 11: the automatic stay that stops collection, a written reclamation demand for honey delivered in the last days before filing, the administrative priority the Bankruptcy Code gives goods received in the twenty days before the case, the unsecured claim for the rest, the risk that a $140,000 payment received sixty days earlier is clawed back as a preference and the defenses to that, and the credit terms that would protect the business next time, with Mallor and colleagues, White, Summers and Hillman and Jackson.

Module 8

BUS 307 Module 8 Discussion example

A closing discussion post on protecting the name a composite North Dakota beekeeping family puts on its retail jars after a Montana company began selling honey under a similar name: what trademark rights the family already has from years of local use, what federal registration would add, how courts weigh the likelihood of confusion between two honey brands, why a name that describes the product is weak and a distinctive one is strong, and what to do first, with Polaroid Corp. v. Polarad Electronics, Landes and Posner and Mallor and colleagues. Full sample paper, read it free.

BUS 307 questions, answered

What does BUS 307 cover?

Business organizations, agency and employment, sales of goods under the Uniform Commercial Code, secured transactions, bankruptcy and intellectual property, building on BUS 206.

Do I need BUS 206 before BUS 307?

BUS 307 assumes the contracts and torts foundation from the first business law course, and it applies that foundation to more complex business transactions.

Is the beekeeping business in the BUS 307 samples real?

No. The siblings, their hives and their customers were invented for these samples so every module can use the same business; your instructor may assign a different one.
