The scenаriо:Yоu stаrt а small fоod truck business. By month 4, you are working 50–60 hours per week. Monthly revenue averages $4,500 and monthly expenses (food supplies, gas, etc.) average $3,200. You have not yet paid yourself and have no cash reserves for taxes, emergencies, or a bad month. A friend offers to help 10 hours per week for $15/hour, but only if it’s “off the books,” meaning cash-only with no reporting for either of you.=============The 2 written parts (what you submit):PART A: Using one entrepreneurship or ethics concept from the text, explain why hiring your friend "off the books" might feel justified or tempting in this situation, even if you know it is risky or illegal. Explain what you would personally worry about most if things go wrong.PART B: Using one entrepreneurship or ethics concept from the text (different from the one used in Part A), explain why you ultimately would NOT hire your friend "off the books." In your response, explain whether this choice makes you a better or worse entrepreneur in the short term, even if it creates new challenges.Each part should be written in paragraph form. A strong response is typically 5–8 sentences. Responses that rely on vague or generic language without clear reference to the scenario may not receive full credit. Do not use AI to generate this response. I am not looking for a “right” answer. I am looking for evidence that you understand how business decisions feel when money is tight, time is limited, and the consequences are real. =============The Evaluation (how I grade it):Part A:(5 points) Clearly applies one specific course concept to the scenario and explains why the decision feels tempting under financial and time pressure(5 points) Identifies a specific personal risk (legal, financial, reputational, relational) and explains why it matters to the ownerPart B:(5 points) Clearly applies one specific course concept to explain why refusing the offer is the better decision(5 points) Clearly explains whether the decision improves or harms them as an entrepreneur, acknowledging short-term vs. long-term impact
