Portraits. Belinda, a famous portrait painter, agreed to paint Harry's portrait for $5,000. She also agreed to paint the portrai

ts of Michelle's two Welsh Corgi dogs, Baby and Bree. Michelle agreed to pay Belinda $12,000 for the portraits. Belinda charged Michelle more because dogs annoyed her. Belinda met the spoiled dogs, and they really got on her nerves. Plus, she was behind on finishing Harry's portrait. Belinda, therefore, proceeded to assign the right to receive the money for the dog portraits and the duty to paint the dog portraits to her assistant, Fred. He eagerly accepted and painted the portraits. As payment for amounts she owed him for various duties, Belinda also assigned to Fred the right to receive payment from Harry. Neither the contract Belinda had with Harry nor the contract she had with Michelle expressly prohibited assignment or delegation of contractual rights and duties. Belinda finished the portrait of Harry and called him to come and pick it up. Meanwhile, a disgruntled secretary who disliked Belinda told both Michelle and Harry about the agreements with Fred. Michelle was furious and refused to pick up the portrait or pay anyone. Harry likewise refused to pay for his portrait claiming that the right to payment could not be assigned. What would be the most likely result if Fred sues Michelle for the $12,000 payment?

Answer:

Fred will win because the right to receive payment could be validly assigned.

Explanation:

all contract gives room for some certain rights and duties. By an obligation, the individual whose right it is to receive payment will transfer the right to collect that same payment from the same person (obligor) to any other person (third person).

Going by the question above Belinda, the well-known portrait painter is the obligee who transfers the right to receive payments from the obligors to a third party named Fred who is stands as an assistant. It was clearly stated in the question that “Belinda also assigned to Fred the right to receive payment from Harry. Neither the contract Belinda had with Harry nor the contract she had with Michelle expressly prohibited assignment or delegation of contractual rights and duties.”

Going by this above statement then one can confirm it very clear that the payment could be assigned and receiving the payment is within Fred’s right.

mote1985 [20]
The correct answer is - the number of hours he works at each job.
If we have the number of hours he works for each job separately, then we will be able to take out a percentage of the earnings from both of the jobs separately. We will than get the sum of the percentages if both of them, and have the real amount of George's weekly savings.

Net Exports for 2016 = 2372.7  -  2924.8

Net Exports for 2016 =  - $552.1 billion

What would happen if the European Union put a quota on American jeans and only allowed 4,000, pairs of jeans to be imported?
brilliants [131]

If the European Union put a quota on American jeans only allowing a small portion to be imported the demand for the jeans would rise even though the supply would not follow that.  When there is a small limit on something that consumers want, the price usually goes up because they know they will sell the items regardless and in this case that may happen. The price of jeans will rise, the demand will rise, but the supply will not.
