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. I’ll assume you do want it if I don’t hear from you within an hour. Thanks!” This is not a valid contract and Shayna would not be required to purchase painting due to the lack of a(n):

<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>

The public debt for the economy is
Paraphin [41]
The public debt is the amount of money that a government owes to outside debtors. Public debt allows governments to raise funds to grow their economy or pay for services. Politicians prefer to raise public debt rather than raise taxes. When public debt reaches 77% of GDP or higher, the debt begins to slow growth.

To avoid double-counting output in GDP measures, _____ are excluded in GDP.
Effectus [21]
The correct answer is d). We have that government spending can also give way to products and services, just like private enterprises, thus there is no double-counting there. Services such as haircuts have their own value, which are separate from any other material products. Finally exports are also not counted twice; Raw materials though would be counted twice if we counted them for the GDP since their value is incorporated in the value of the final product. For example, we cannot count towards the GDP the value of rubber production in a country since then, if we counted the value of the tires too, we would count the value of the rubber in the tires twice (one time as rubber/ one time as part of the tire).

DochEvi [55]

Answer:

Margin of safety= 150 units

Margin of safety ratio= 15.9%

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Selling price per unit $29

Variable expense per unit $18

Fixed expense per month $8,800

Unit sales per month 950

To calculate the margin of safety both in units and as a percentage of sales, first, we need to calculate the break-even point in units.

Break-even point= fixed costs/ contribution margin

Break-even point= 8,800/ (29 - 18)= 800 units

Now, we can calculate the margin of safety in units:

Margin of safety= (current sales level - break-even point)

Margin of safety= (950 - 800)= 150 units

As a percentage of sales:

Margin of safety ratio= (current sales level - break-even point)/current sales level

Margin of safety ratio= 150/950= 0.159= 15.9%
