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.

Damm [24]

Answer: $0

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Nick and Katelyn paid $1,600 and $2,100 in qualifying expenses for their two daughters, Nicole and Naomi, respectively, to attend the University of Nevada and that Nicole is a sophomore and Naomi is a freshman.

We are further told that Nick and Katelyn's AGI is $202,000. Based on the above scenario, their allowable American opportunity tax credit will be $0. This is because when AGI is more than $180,000 for such taxpayers, the credit is being phased out.

Imagine you own a food truck that sells gourmet vegan tacos. You rely on many suppliers, all of which also supply their goods to
ladessa [460]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Because there are plenty of suppliers for some goods, the food truck owner is more powerful in this case than the suppliers. Here the power of suppliers is low

For the other goods with only a single supplier. the supplier has more powerful than the taco seller. here the power of supplier is high. If the supplier increases price, the taco seller would most likely have an inelastic demand and would be at the mercy of the supplier

thus, the  power of suppliers is relatively high for some items and relatively low for others.

cluponka [151]

Answer:

When the selling price of an asset like bonds etc exceeds it purchase price then the capital profit will be the difference between sale and purchase price.

But if the purchase price is greater than the sale price the difference is called Capital loss.

Example: if we buy 100 shares for $20 each and after a year sell them for $ 18 then the difference is called the capital loss.
