Answer:

(b) a loss of $750

Explanation:

Given;

Amount of spice mixture to be purchased = 1500 pounds

Price of spice mixture in 2014 = $5.00 per pound

Changed price of sugar mixture = $4.50 per pound

Now,

The amount to be received on the day of contract in 2014

= Amount of spice mixture to be purchased × Price of spice mixture in 2014

= 1500 × $5.00

= $7,500

and,

The amount to be received in 2015

= Amount of spice mixture to be purchased × Price of spice mixture in 2015

= 1500 × $4.50

= $6,750

The difference in Expected amount and the amount to be received

= $7500 - $6750

= $750

Since the amount to be received is less than the expected amount on the day of contract

Therefore,

a loss will be recognized

Hence,

the correct answer is option (b) a loss of $750

12–2. Offer and acceptance. Schmidt, the owner of a small business, has a large piece of used farm equipment for sale. He offers
Fiesta28 [93]

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.

"Falling oil prices have caused a sharp decrease in the supply of oil." Speaking precisely, and using terms as they are defined
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

The answer is: D) The quotation is incorrect: A decrease in price causes a decrease in quantity supplied, not a decrease in supply.

Explanation:

A decrease in the price of a product or service will always decrease the quantity supplied and increase the quantity demanded of the product. The terms supply and demand apply to the entire curve, not an specific point in them.  

For example, the equilibrium point for milk is 5 million gallons sold at $3 each. If the government suddenly decides that it will place a price ceiling for milk at $2 per gallon (may use argument that it is a necessity good essential for the well being of children) the quantity demanded for milk will rise but the quantity supplied will fall.

That is because not every dairy business will be able to produce and sell milk at $2 and still make a profit (or meet their expected profit levels), so they will either lower their milk production (make substitute products) or go out of business.
