WARRIOR [948]3 years ago

Answer: A case that had to do with contract interference. Pennzoil made an unsolicited bid to buy 20 percent of Getty Oil at $112.50 per share and the Getty Board approved the agreement. Before the lawyers for both side could approve the agreement, Texaco appeared and offered Getty stockholders $128 a share for the entire company. Getty officers turned their attention to Texaco, but Pennzoil sued, claiming tortious interference. Texaco said they had not interfered because there was no binding contract.

Jury agreed with Penzoil's argument--$7.53 million in actual damages and $3 billion more in punitive damages. After appeals and frantic negotiations, the two parties reached a settlement.

Texaco agreed to pay Penzoil $3 billion as a settlement for having wrongfully interfered with Pennzoil's agreement to buy Getty.

saveliy_v [14]

For the purpose of facilitating trading on a futures market, futures contracts are standardized for both quality and quantity. When purchasing a futures contract, the buyer assumes the responsibility for purchasing and receiving the underlying asset upon contract expiration.

The final trading day of a futures contract is known as expiration. Final settlement and delivery of a futures contract are carried out in accordance with the guidelines outlined by the exchange in the contract specifications document after the contract has expired.

In order to meet its short-term obligations or liabilities, a corporation must have the capacity to convert its assets into cash.

Who was the strongest man in the Bible?
lara [203]
The strongest man in the Bible was Samson. His power all came from his long hair. Although a woman named Delilah wanted to know where his power all came from. He told her, and behold, his Hair was cut. And he lost his power and became blind.

Hence after some hours or days, he asked God to give him one last chance. Then the power came over Samson, and he pulled the wall of Palestine down and killed all the people there. Samson also killed a lion with bare hands.
