Lesa is a sales person for the Kirksville Daily Express, calls upon the business in person and asks to speak to the person in charge about placing an ad in the paper to congratulate winners of the livestock show at the NEMO Fair. Wally tells Joni in Lesa's presence -- "you handle it". Joni enters into a contract on behalf of Trosen and Company to spend $500 on a small ad and Lesa leaves happy that she has just met her sales quota. When Wally learns about the contract -- he is livid, reminds Joni that the LLC had no money in its budget for advertising and calls Lesa and tells her that Joni did not have authority to enter into the agreement.
