Answer:

Schmidt, the owner of a small business, has a large piece of used farm equipment for sale. He offers to sell the equipment to Barry for $10,000. Discuss the legal effects of the following events on the offer:  

• Schmidt dies prior to Barry’s acceptance, and at the time he accepts, Barry is unaware of Schmidt’s death.  

• The night before Barry accepts, fire destroys the equipment.  

• Barry pays $100 for a thirty-day option to purchase the equipment. During this period, Schmidt dies, and later Barry accepts the offer, knowing of Schmidt’s death.  

• Barry pays $100 for a thirty-day option to purchase the equipment. During this period, Barry dies, and Barry’s estate accepts Schmidt’s offer within the stipulated time period.

Explanation:

A contact is a binding agreement between two or more people.

Schmidt dies prior to Barry’s acceptance, and at the time he accepts, Barry is unaware of Schmidt’s death: Schmidt's death would normally null this offer but because Barry is unaware of his death at the time of acceptance, and the offer is not for a personal service, the offer holds.

The night before Barry accepts, fire destroys the equipment: there is no binding contract before a buyer accepts an offer.  

Barry pays $100 for a thirty-day option to purchase the equipment. During this period, Schmidt dies, and later Barry accepts the offer, knowing of Schmidt’s death: The option keeps the offer alive regardless of Schmidt’s death as long as Barry paid for the option .

Barry pays $100 for a thirty-day option to purchase the equipment. During this period, Barry dies, and Barry’s estate accepts Schmidt’s offer within the stipulated time period: the death of the offeree, in this case Barry, would normally nullify the offer but due to the option and the acceptance within the stipulated time,  the offer holds.

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

The rate of return on the investment if the price fall by 7% next year is -22% which is shown below.

The price of Telecom would have to fall by $71.43($250-$178.57), before a margin call could be placed.

Lastly,if the price fall immediately,the margin price would $178.57 as shown below

Explanation:

Total shares bought=$40000/$250=160 shares

Interest on amount borrowed=8%*$20000=$1600

When the price falls by 7% the new price =$250(1-0.07)=$232.50

Hence rate of return=(New price*number of shares-Interest-total investment)/initial investor's funds

=($232.50*160-$40000-$1600)/$20000=-22%

Initial margin=investor's money/total investment=$20000/$40000=50%

maintenance  margin=30%

Margin call price=Current price x (1- initial margin)/ (1- maintenance margin)

                           =$250*(1-0.5)/(1-0.3)

                           =$178.57

Persons with Assignments: Etc. a: Committee members. b: A representative of a government agency of a district, state, or other entity, often having both judicial and executive powers. c: Officer in charge of a department or office of public service.

If the date of this order is more than one year before he and the agent ex officio change the order. An order by an attorney to refuse to interfere shall not be considered an order prejudicial to a judge.
