Question 1: Brown is a process engineer for White Manufacturing Company and is about to recommend the purchase of certain machinery and equipment. The Green Equipment company is one prospective supplier. On a recent trip to the Green company, Green offered Brown a new station wagon if Green was chosen as the equipment supplier. Brown has always considered herself to be quite ethical, but she is also human, and the station wagon sounds tempting. Neglecting the ethical aspects of the situation, Brown is still faced with certain legal and practical problems. What are Brown's rights if, after recommending Green as a supplier, Green fails to produce the station wagon? What can happen to Brown if White Manufacturing finds out about the deal?

Question 2: Black, an engineer, is injured while visiting the White Manufacturing Company. Black was splattered in the face with hot metal from a die-casting machine he was observing at the time. What complaint and reasoning might black use in a tort claim? What reply would White be likely to use?
