Cevap
The written agreement matches Express Authority. The routine action of collecting a premium matches Implied Authority. The terminated agent using official forms matches Apparent Authority. Placing premium funds into an operating account matches Breach of Fiduciary Duty.
Each scenario accurately reflects a distinct legal doctrine in agency law. Express authority is written, implied authority is unwritten but necessary, apparent authority is based on public perception caused by the principal, and fiduciary duty involves the proper handling of funds held in trust.
