Answer the question
DAC lawyer: the lawyer is very pivotal in the decision making process since he is the person who knows all the legal procedures in Florida concerning the selling of property. He should be the one to give legal direction to be taken for the sale of the property. His view should be given consideration since he is the person in charge of the legal procedures of DAC.
Desperate Air Corporation: since the company has had some financial crisis in the past, the main aim is to salvage it before it collapses. This should play an important role in the decision that is to be made since its operations needs to be restored back to normal before its condition worsens.
What would you do? Sell it or not sell it? Why?
I would sell the property because of the following reasons
There is no legal procedure breeched in the property selling since the lawyer has advised that “under Florida law it is not necessary to disclose the existence of hazardous waste on commercial property as long as there hasn't been a fraudulent misstatement about the condition of the property”. This makes the selling of the property very legal.
Considering that the Desperate Air Corporation is at the verge of collapse, I would sell the property to rescue it from collapsing. It is from the sale of the property that the Desperate Air Corporation will be able to get some money that is really needed at the moment for its operations.
Please indicate whether your decision in 2. Is more consistent with utilitarianism, profit maximization, or universalism, and explain why.
The decision is consistent with utilitarianism since the action is aimed at utilizing the property of Desperate Air Corporation so as to rescue it.
