Part 2: Contract Research Report

Sue is a graphic designer at XYZ Corporation, and she also runs her own business as a photographer. She says:

“Sorry, this is more
personal, but I hope you can give me some advice. I just entered a
contract to photograph the full line of a pottery company, a job that
will involve nearly 1,000 photographs. The contract promises excellent
pay, with a specific dollar amount stated in the contract, but
unfortunately, I neglected to include any payment terms. Can you help
investigate this for me?”

To prepare for this Assignment:

• Review the Learning Resources.
• Review the Contract Research Report scenario involving Sue and her
  photography business, which will serve as the basis for your Assignment
  this week.
• Refer to the Academic Writing Expectations for 2000/3000-Level Courses as you compose your Assignment.

Submit a Contract Research Report that addresses the following prompt.

• Kate approves the request and asks you to help Sue. You will need to
  research the dangers that Sue might face by not spelling out the terms
  of payment within her contract. Provide her with a research report on
  these dangers and recommendations for how to correct this situation, if
  it is possible. (225–300 words, 3–4 paragraphs)
