Margaret ran an antique store that specialized in rare porcelain dolls, which she used as a case study in business law. She started the company in a shop in Melbourne's eastern suburbs in 1989. She began advertising on the Internet in 1999, and by 2006, her company had expanded to the point where she required assistance to keep it running. Margaret would probably keep the firm operating for another couple of years and then retire, according to a family talk one night at the kitchen table in July 2006. Emily, her 16-year-old daughter, would labor at the business for as long as it was needed in exchange for any unsold dolls. Margaret opted to donate the unsold merchandise to charity when she retired at the end of 2009, so that they could auction it and keep the earnings. Emily should be advised.
