Barry identified the following red flags 1.Homegrown pays higher prices to Moromio Nursury than others 2.Betty appears to be living beyond her means Barry wants you to do a preliminary investigation and to write a memo to him and the partners. You must determine the net worth first using the net worth analysis method from the table included The memo to the partners should provide a summary of the situation, initial findings /analysis, the possible options for the partners if they want you to continue your investigation and what next steps you recommend

Thanks

Homegrown Gardens, LLP, is a $10 million nursery and garden retailer in Florida. Homegrown employs about 20 full-time and seasonal employees. The majority of the plants and nursery stock that Homegrown sells comes from Monromio Nurseries, a wholesaler based in Alabama. Monromio is recognized throughout the South for the quality of the plants it grows and sells. Homegrown is generally happy to pay the premium prices that Monromio's plants command, because it passes the extra costs on to its customers, who value the high-quality plants it sells. However, Barry Greenstem, one of Homegrown's managing partners, is visibly upset after speaking with the owners of other nurseries at a recent trade show in Atlanta.

Barry suspects that Betty Stevenson, Homegrown's assistant manager in charge of purchasing nursery stock, may be accepting kickbacks from Monromio in return for allowing higher purchase prices. Betty and her husband, Mike, purchased a new SUV, a houseboat, and several ATVs last year and moved into a new, larger house this year. Barry knows that Betty's salary isn't high enough to support the new lifestyle, and he doubts that Mike's job
