Pierre left a message on Shayna’s voicemail stating, “Hey Shayna. Regarding that painting we talked about. I changed my mind and

I do want to sell it. So I’ll let you have it for a steal at $350. There are lots of people that want it so let me know if you don’t ASAP.

<u>The contract between Pierre and Shayna is not a valid contract due to the lack of acceptance from Shayna. </u>

Further Explanation:

Contract:

A legally enforced agreement is considered a contract. An agreement is a promise between two parties to perform tasks for each other for some consideration. When an agreement becomes legally enforced, then it is considered as a contract. So the contract is a legally enforced promise between two parties for considerations. Both parties should get consideration and have a performance obligation.

Following factors are required for the contract:

Offer: A person should offer some consideration to another person for performing any activity or in the exchange of goods.

Acceptance of offer: The other person should accept the offer made by the first person.

Valuable consideration: There should be valuable consideration for both the parties.

Mutual obligation: Parties should promise to execute their obligated activities.

The performance capacity of the parties: Parties should be capable of performing the contract.

Legally enforcement: The contracts should be legally enforced.

These are the basic elements of a contract. If any contracts lack any of the given factors, then it will not be considered as a valid contract.

The contract between Pierre and Shayna:

In the current case, Pierre makes an offer to sell the painting to Shayna. Pierre leaves a message in the voicemail of Shayna, stating that if Shayna does not contact Pierre within one hour, then Pierre would consider that the Shayna wants to purchase the painting.

It is not a valid contract as it lacks the acceptance of the offer from Shayna.

Pierre enters the contract to sell the painting without considering the acceptance of the offer by Shayna. Pierre puts a condition that if she does not receive any revert from Shayna within one hour, then she would consider that Shayna has accepted the offer. For a valid contract, the promisee should accept the offer but the condition of acceptance (revert within one hour) does not state for the acceptance of Shayna. So, it will not be considered a valid contract.

<u>Thus, the contract between Pierre and Shayna is not a valid contract due to non-acceptence. </u>

Given the pay rate, hours worked, tax deductions, and social security deduction, determine the gross earnings, group health insu
user100 [1]

Answer:

Gross Income - $2570 ($21.60*119)

Group Health Insurance - $360 ($2570*0.14)

Pension Deduction- $154 ($2570*0.06)

Total Deduction- $514 ($360 + $154)

Net Pay- $2056 ($2570 - $514)

Explanation:

As the question states given the pay rate and hours worked, No Data of pay rate and hours worked is provided. Gross Earnings are $21.60 which doesn’t seem accurate when compared with Group Health Insurance and Pension figures. However let’s assume the pay rate to be $21.60 and hours worked to be 119 hours then we will have the following results:  

Gross Income - $2570 ($21.60*119)

Group Health Insurance - $360 ($2570*0.14)

Pension Deduction- $154 ($2570*0.06)

Total Deduction- $514 ($360 + $154)

Net Pay- $2056 ($2570 - $514)

I hope this is the type of answer you must be looking for!

On January 1, Year 3, Wayfarer Co.'s assets were $330,000 and its stockholders' equity was $146,000. During the year, assets inc
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

The Balance of stockholder's equity at December 31 Year 3 is $180000.

Explanation:

The basic accounting equation states that Assets are always equal to the sum of Liabilties and Equity.

Thus, the equation can be written as:

Assets = Liabilities + Equity

The libilities at the start of the year were,

330000 = Liabilities + 146000

Liabilities = 330000 - 146000 = $184000

If Liabilities at the end were 16000 less than at start, Closing balance of Liabilities will be 184000 - 16000 = $168000

The Closing balance of assets will be 330000 + 18000 = $ 348000

The closing balance of Stockholder's equity at Dec 31 Year 3 is:

348000 = 168000 + Equity

Equity = 348000 - 168000 = $180000

Beginning work in process inventory: Units in beginning work in process inventory500 Materials costs$ 7,800 Conversion costs$ 9,
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

$15.76

Explanation:

beginning WIP 500 units

materials 85% complete, so 15% added during the period (EUP during current month = 75 units)

conversion costs 55% complete, so 45% added during the period (EUP during current month = 225 units)

units started 7,000

units transferred out 6,100

units started and transferred out = 6,100 - 500 = 5,600 (EUP = 5,600 units)

ending WIP 1,400 units

materials 60% complete (EUP = 840 units)

conversion costs 50% complete (EUP = 700 units)

materials cost for the month = $102,700

total EUP for the month = 6,515 units

total cost per EUP for materials = $102,700 / 6,515 = $15.7636 ≈ $15.76

Heather Hudson makes stuffed teddy bears. Recent information for her business follows:
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

Degree of Operating Leverage =  1.24

Explanation:

given data

Selling price =  $35.50  per bear

Total fixed cost = 1,450.00  per month

Variable cost = 16.50 per bear

sells = 390 bears

solution

we get here Degree of Operating Leverage that is express as

Degree of Operating Leverage = Contribution Margin ÷ Operating Income   .................1

and

Contribution Margin = Sales - Variable cost  .................2

Contribution Margin = (390 bears × $35.50) - (390 bears × $16.50)

Contribution Margin = $7410

and

Operating Income = Sales - Variable cost - Fixed Costs ................3

Operating Income = (390 bears × $35.50) - (390 bears × $16.50) - $1450

Operating Income = $5960

so put value in equation 1

Degree of Operating Leverage = \frac{7410}{5960}  

Degree of Operating Leverage =  1.24
