Judy Olsen, Kristy Johnston, and their mother, Joyce Johnston, owned seventy-eight acres of real estate property on Eagle Creek

in Meagher County, Montana. When Joyce died, she left her interest in the property to Kristy. Kristy wrote to Judy, offering to buy Judy’s interest or to sell her own interest to Judy. The letter said to "please respond to Bruce Townsend." In a letter to Kristy, not to Bruce, Judy accepted Kristy’s offer to sell her interest. By that time, however, Kristy had made the same offer to sell her interest to their brother Dave, and he had accepted. Did Judy and Kristy have an enforceable binding contract? Or did Kristy’s offer specifying one exclusive mode of acceptance mean that Judy’s reply was not effective?

Yes , Judy and Kristy have an enforceable binding contract

Explanation:

Kristy Johnston, Judy Olsen, and Joyce Johnston, their mother, owned real estate as common buyers. After Joyce died, she left Kristy her one-third share in the house. Kristy sent Judy a letter in 2009 promising Judy to purchase or sell Judy's share in the property.  

Judy accepted the sale bid from Kristy. Kristy then tried to refuse Judy's approval and to cancel her bid for sale. Judy lodged a Kristy lawsuit.

The court granted the summary judgment to Judy finding that a contract had been drawn up between the letters exchanged between Judy and Kristy which satisfied the frauds ' status. The Supreme Court ruled that the district court decided out that an enforceable arrangement was established by exchanging letters from the parties.

What impact can good accountability mechanisms have on the admissibility of evidence in court cases? enables encryption of the e
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

Option A, ENABLES ENCRYPTION OF THE EVIDENCE.

Explanation:

Admissible evidence, in a court of law, is any testimonial, documentary, or tangible evidence that is introduced to a judge or jury to prove a point (put forth by a party to the proceeding) or element in a case.

However, before an evidence can be used in a case, it must be considered admissible. And for an evidence to be admissible, it must be relevant and not excluded by rules of evidence (generally means it must not be prejudicial and must be reliable).

The government can be viewed as mechanism of accountability, particularly from a provider to a purchaser. Thus, a task for regulation is to set norms which would help make that accountability process fair and effective, this is referred to as the mechanism.

A good accountability mechanism is beneficial in the following ways:

* It has impact on admissibility of evidence in court cases.

* it allows nonrepudiation (it means sufficient evidence exists such that a user can not defend an action).

* It enables encryption of the evidence. Encryption means is the process of encoding a message or information in such a way that only authorized parties can access it and unauthorized parties cannot.

Therefore, option A best suits the question, the impact that a good accountability mechanism has on on the admissibility of evidence in court cases is that it ENABLES THE ENCRYPTION OF THE EVIDENCE.

Beck Inc. and Bryant Inc. have the following operating data:__________.
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

a. Beck Inc. = 5.00  and Bryant Inc. = 2.50

b. Beck Inc. =  $100,000 and 100%  : Bryant Inc. =  $150,000 and 50 %

c. True.

Explanation:

Degree of Operating Leverage shows,  the times Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) would change as a result of a change in Sales contribution.

Degree of Operating Leverage = Contribution ÷ EBIT

Thus,

Beck Inc = $500,000 ÷ $100,000

              = 5.00

Bryant Inc. = $750,000 ÷ $300,000

                 = 2.50

<em>If Sales increased by 20% the effects on Incomes would be :</em>

Beck Inc = 20% × 5.00

              = 100%

              = $100,000 × 100%

              = $100,000

Bryant Inc.=  20% × 2.50

              =  50 %

              =  $300,000 × 50 %

              =  $150,000

777dan777 [17]

Personal ethics

Explanation:

Personal ethics applies to the ethics that a person who identifies with in respect to the people and circumstances that they contend with in everyday life. Professional ethics means the ethics a person has to adhere to in relation to their professional relationships and business transactions.

The principles of personal ethics are:

  • Concern and respect for the autonomy of others.
  • Honesty and the willingness to comply with the law.
  • Fairness and the ability not to take undue advantage of others.

Ethics also shield members from harmful actions, such as success, money and power. They also help individuals gain a sense of truth and meaning of life. Unless you have some idea of knowing what is right and what is wrong people have no way to live and feel free to do whatever they want.

An ethical culture community offers a culture that supports the ethical conduct of the organization's members. Unethical conduct is any activity of a member who does not comply with the standards established by the organization's culture.
