Question 1: Advice A.

The above matter was brought to the attention of E and she is furious. She decides to step in and manage the day-to-day affairs of the company. She immediately fires A, and said to him he has to pay back for the cost of the Mercedes Benz out of his own pocket. E then calls for a general (extraordinary) meeting giving the members 7 days notice. She told B, C and D that she intends to fire the entire board in that meeting. She said she will be the sole director for the company. On hearing this, B, C and D have secretly meetings with each other. They greed that they will authorise each others cheques (for their holiday packages) before they were fired. In addition, B, C and D ordered LCDs, DVDs and laptops from their mate's shop. They know this mate well told him he has to quickly deliver the LCDs, DVDs and laptops, before they were fired.

BB Promotions trades in Melbourne and Perth. Sussie lives in Melbourne. She recently travelled to Perth for a meeting of the board of directors.
