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.

Shelley compared the number of oak trees to the number of maple trees as part of a study about hardwood trees and a woodlot she
Masja [62]

There were 72 (108 - 36) more maple trees in the woodlot before the bug problem. There were 108 maple trees in the woodlot before the bug problem. There are 36 maple trees in the woodlot after the bug problem.

The following information is given in the question:

Ratio of maple trees to oak trees before bug problem = 9:5

Ratio of maple trees to oak trees after replanting = 3:11

Total number of oak trees after replanting =132

Total number of trees in the woodlot is the same before and after the bug problem.

Let the number of maple trees after replanting be 'x'

From the data above, we can find the number of maple trees after replanting as follows:

\frac{3}{11} = \frac{x}{132}

\frac{(3*132)}{11} = {x}

x = 36

So, number of maple trees after replanting in the woodlot are 36.

Total number of trees in the woodlot =   No. of maple trees + No. of oak trees.

Total number of trees in the woodlot =  168 (132 + 36)

Let number of maple trees before bug problem be 'z'.

We can find the number of maple trees before bug problem as follows:

\frac{9}{(9+5)} = \frac{z}{168}

\frac{9*168}{14} = z

z = 108

The ideal type of business would be the sole proprietorship, as it is a structure that is easy to start and manage.

<h3 /><h3>What is the sole proprietorship?</h3>

It is a simpler business structure, which is managed by an individual, who has the responsibilities for the business, that is, in this configuration there is no legal distinction between the company and the owner.

Therefore, the sole proprietorship is less bureaucratic, being able to close the business at any time, or change type as the business grows and requires greater responsibility.
