9. Shelly "The Machine" Levine is the top salesman employed by Frump Wholesale, Inc., annually winning the Cadillac awarded by the Company to the person with the most sales. Owing to his knowledge of the State White marketplace, Shelly can approve credit sales to new customers of the Company in his State White territory. True or False: Federal law prevents State White from imposing an income tax on Frump Wholesale, Inc. 10. On January 18, 2019, Shelly meets with Morticia Adams, the owner of Adams Tire City in State Pink. After Morticia orders $10,000 of tires, Shelly discusses the Presidential race with Morticia, the upcoming baseball season, his vacation in Hawaii, his plans to divorce his wife, and then asks Morticia to join him for dinner. True or False: Shelly's speech following the order exceeds the scope of the term "solicitation" and that accordingly, Frump Wholesale Inc. has no federal statutory defense against State Pink imposing an income tax on it. 11. In 2020, Frump Wholesale, Inc. shipped $20,000,000 of tires to customers in Germany. The goods were shipped from the Company's warehouse in State Green. True or False: State Green can impose a tax of 3 percent of the value of exports leaving State Green and heading to Germany. 12. In 2020, Frump Wholesale, Inc. was assessed $3,000,000 in taxes from State Gold. Executives of Frump Wholesale, Inc. think that State Gold cannot assert this tax under the provisions of the Dormant Commerce Clause. True or False: Because Frump Industries is organized in Delaware and because the underlying issue involves interpretation of the federal constitution, it can, MLTN, challenge the collection of the tax in federal district court. 13. Frump Wholesale, Inc. operates a large factory in State Green employing 1700 persons. In January 2020, the president of Frump Wholesale, Inc. is approached by Governor Moonshine of State Orange. The Governor offers the Company cash incentives of $25,000,000 if they will move the factory from State Green to State Orange. True or False: Frump Wholesale, Inc. can, more likely than not, accept the offer and move the job without concerns that taxpayers in State Orange will bring a case in federal court blocking this state expenditure as violative of the Dormant Commerce Clause line of cases. 14. Adding on to the previous question, say that in March 2016, Frump Wholesale, Inc. moves all of its employees to State Orange. Frump Wholesale, Inc. no longer has employees or property in State Green in 2020. In addition, the Company stops shipping tires to State Green customers in 2017. State Green has a law requiring taxpayers to file tax returns for five years after a taxing nexus is established and asserts a tax deficiency against the Company for not filing tax
