Douglas County sought bids for a construction project. Robert Taggart wanted to submit a bid but knew the project needed rock. H

e talked with some owners of a rock source and was told the rock was for sale but the price could not be determined until the other owner was consulted. Taggart prepared an incomplete bid, told his bookkeeper to get the rock price and complete the bid. Taggart left on vacation. The bookkeeper did so and submitted the bid. The bids were opened. Taggart’s bid was the lowest, but it was learned later that day that the rock was longer for sale. The next day the bookkeeper delivered a written bid withdrawal to the county. The county subsequently awarded the contract to Taggart.

Answer:

No, there is no contract between the two parties because of withdrawal of offer (Revocation) before the acceptance of the other party.

Explanation:

When one party offers another party and after some time the offer maker withdraws the offer by communicating that they had revoked then the offer is no more available to the other party and is often termed as Revocation. So when the offer maker revokes before the acceptance of the offer by the other party then their is no offer at consideration to the other party, which means if there is no offer then their can not be an acceptance of an offer and of course when there is no acceptance then there is no contract.

The communication of revocation was held before the acceptance of the offer of the other party which agains says that the contract was not actually formed.

lubasha [3.4K]

None of the alternatives are correct.

Explanation:

When a builder enters into an agreement to construct a commercial building in the residential areas that violates the laws , as a result the government stops construction. If such a scenario occurs the workers will not be paid as the construction process has stopped, so no productivity will take place and thus the workers will have to face the scenario.

While signing a contract the contractor must have proper knowledge regarding the property. Otherwise the workers will not be able to earn their daily wage.

The following is a condensed version of the comparative balance sheets for Pearl Corporation for the last two years at December
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

Balance Sheets    

2020          2019                Deviation  

$292,050 $128,700  $163,350        Cash

$163,350   Cash Flow Ind Method  

$264,000   Net Income  

$28,050   Depreciation  

-$49,500   Dividends  

$36,300   Investments  

$8,250           Accounts Receivable  

-$28,050   Current Liabilities  

-$95,700   Property and Equipment  

Explanation:

To prepare the statement of cashflow it's necessary to calculate the difference between the balance on each year.

First we need the value of the Net Income and Depreciation of the year as initial value of the cash flow ($264,000+$28,050),  

then we deduct the amount of dividends paid during the year (-$49,500).  

Then we begin to calculate the Assets section, everytime that the Assets are higher than the past year we have to put money  

from the cash flow to compensate the assets increase and vice versa, with exception of the Cash Accounts that we are calculating.

Per Example: Accounts Receivable +$8,250 and Investments +$36,300.

Property decreased Cash flow which means that we buy some assets (-$97,500 )

Then with the Liabilities we do the same but in this case an increase in the liabilities means we have more money to our cash flow,

per example, an increase in the accounts payable means that we paid less to our suppliers so we have the money in the cash accounts.  

Total Current Liabilities decrease $28,050 , we paid more liabilities than the past year, so we have to use cash.  

To complete the cash flow statement  it's necessary that the amount of the statement be equal to the deviation in the cash account between the past year and the current one
