Strike offers to sell Bailey one thousand shirts for a stated price. The offer declares that shipment will be made by Dependable

Truck Line. Bailey replies, "I accept your offer for one thousand shirts at the price quoted. Delivery to be by Yellow Express Truck Line." Both Strike and Bailey are merchants. Three weeks later, Strike ships the shirts by Dependable Truck Line, and Bailey refuses to accept delivery. Strike sues for breach of contract. Bailey claims that there never was a contract because his reply, which included a modification of carriers, did not constitute an acceptance. Bailey further claims that even if there had been a contract, Strike would have been in breach because Strike shipped the shirts by Dependable, contrary to the contract terms. Discuss fully Bailey’s claims. Miller, Roger LeRoy. Cengage Advantage Books: Business Law Today, The Essentials: Text and Summarized Cases (p. 323). Cengage Learning. Kindle Edition.

Answer: A contractual obligation om shipment is not enforceable.

Explanation: A contract is a legally binding agreement. For a contract to be legally binding it needs to have an offer and acceptance. Strike and Bailey are merchants who both agree on the stated quantity and price of shirts to be shipped. However, the declaration or condition of shipment is neither agreed nor accepted by both Strike and Bailey as Strike offered to deliver using 'Dependable Truck Line' while Bailey accepted delivery by 'Yellow Express Truck Line' that was never offered.

For a contract to exist, a complete offer and acceptance must exist on the full terms and conditions of te shipment in this case. However, there is no agreement by either party on the shipment therefore contractual obligation on shipment is not enforceable.

Assume that on November 1, 2019, a 3-month rent payment for $8,000 per month (for a total of $24,000) was made with respect to a
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

a)

Rent Expense   Dr.$16,000

Bank                  Dr.$48,000

Prepaid Rent     Cr.$64,000

Explanation:

The company entered into lease on 1st November 2019 with rent of $8,000 per month. the company on 1st November 2019 recorded prepaid rent as follows; which is wrong

Prepaid Rent Dr. $72,000

Bank              Cr. $72,000

This is wrong entry as prepaid rent was overstated by ($72,000-$24,000 ) $48,000 and same like bank was understated by $48,000

The correct entry should have been like this as on 1st November 2019;

Prepaid Rent Dr. $24,000

Bank               Cr. $ 24,000

By 31st December 2019, two months rent have already accrued so prepaid rent should be credited by (8000*2+48,000 for additional amount recorded)

<em>So the rectifying entry is; as on 31st December 2019</em>

<em>Rent Expense   Dr.$16,000</em>

<em>Bank                  Dr.$48,000</em>

<em>Prepaid Rent     Cr.$64,000</em>

Consumers know that some fraction x of all new cars produced and sold in the market are defective. The defective ones cannot be
fredd [130]

Answer:

0.25

Explanation:

Given :

The $\text{consumers value}$ the non defective cars = $\$ 10,000$

We will consider all the defective $\text{ cars are used cars}$ only. This is only because the value of the used car is $ 2000 and it is lower than the price of a good car that is $10,000. Thus only defective cars are being sold as the old cars.

For a risk neutral customer, the price that he is ready to give for the new car is the reservation price of a non defective car. It means that (the amount of $ 8000 is the value of the good car x chances of getting a good car) +( the value of the bad car x chances of getting a bad car).

Since we know that x is the fraction of all the cars sold in the market are defective, it means that the fraction of the good cars is 1 - x. Thus putting the values,

$x\times 2000+(1-x)\times 10000=8000$

$10000-8000x=80000$

$8000x=2000$

$x=\frac{2}{8}$

  = 0.25

Thus the value of :

$x=\frac{2}{8} = 0.25$
