Answer:
C. $142.50
Explanation:
From the existing contract,
200 units for $10 each
150 units were delivered so, 10 x 150= $1500.
The customer wants to extend the contract for additional 100 units at $9.50 each.
So,what is the revenue to Harold Corporation for these additional units which cost $9.50 for the next 15 units.
Therefore, 15 x 9.50= $142.504
Answer: C. an implied contract.
Explanation:
An Implied Contract is one that arises as a result of the way one or both of the parties involved in the contract acts towards the other.
Unlike an Express Contract, it need not be written down but it does have the same legal weight and strength of a written contract.
The basic principle of this contract is that people should always be treated fairly in business transactions so the need to always pen it down is not necessary.
By walking in and leaving his clothes at the laundry, Bill got into an Implied Contract as it would be unfair for Tom to just clean his clothes with no payment.
Answer: Correct. When there is an increase in supply and an increase in demand, the new equilibrium quantity increases but whether the equilibrium price increases or decreases is unknown.
Explanation:
When the demand for the shoes increased, it had the effect of shifting the demand curve to the right. At the same time, with six more firms coming into the market, the supply increased as well which had the effect of shifting the supply curve right as well.
The new equilibrium as a result of these movements will see the quantity increase. However, due to the shift of both the supply and the demand curve in the same direction, it is uncertain if the price will change or not.
The general rule is that if the rise in supply is more than rise in demand then the price will decrease. If they rise by the same amount then price will remain the same. It shows therefore that if both supply and demand rise at the same time, the effect on equilibrium price is unknown.
Answer: A. You would raise your policy premium substantially and Sam would not accept because he doesn't know about the Japanese.
Explanation:
In such a scenario as the one described above, the best option as an Insurance Agent is indeed to raise premiums substantially.
As the Japanese will most probably get to market first with the new Mayonnaise Substitute, they will have the rights to it's invention and could even patent it.
This means that Sam and SCAM will most likely suffer a loss as a result of this.
As there is such a high chance of loss, charging a substantially higher premium to enable coverage is only logical and makes business sense.
Sam does not know however that the Japanese are so far ahead and having rejected a substantially lower offer, will reject the newer, substantially higher one as well.
