In your analysis of Acme Fireworks' potential expansion, you discuss the transition from a sole
proprietorship to a single-member LLC, along with the implications of adopting the Uniform

Introduction
Acme Fireworks sells fireworks in all their myriad forms. Single-use, aerial display,

transactions to be made on the same footing, unlike in common law, where the laws are different
in regards to taxation and sales from state to state. However, each transaction would be evaluated
on a case by case basis, depending on a number of factors, such as state law, federal law, local or
