Fred Hash worked for Van Stavern Construction Co. as a field supervisor in charge of constructing a new plant facility. Hash ent

ered into a con­tract with Sutton’s Steel & Supply, Inc., to provide steel to the construction site in several installments. Hash gave the name of B. D. Van Stavern, the president and owner of the construction firm, instead of the firm name as the party for whom he was acting. The contract and the subsequent invoices all had B. D. Van Stavern’s name on them. Several loads were delivered by Sutton. All of the invoices were signed by Van Stavern employees, and corporate checks were made out to Sutton. When Sutton Steel later sued Van Stavern personally for unpaid debts totaling $40,437, it claimed that Van Stavern had ratified the acts of his employee, Hash, by allowing payment on previous invoices. Although Van Stavern had had no knowledge of the unauthorized arrangement, had he legally ratified the agreement by his silence? Discuss.

Answer:

<em>Ratification by Principal One of the criteria for enactment is that all material truths involved in the transaction must be known to the Principal. Van Stavern was not aware of Hash's behaviour. </em>

He did not realize that somehow the steel is being shipped under his name, and that the shipments were being billed him directly. Unlike liability through obvious authority, approval by the principal is a positive act by which he or she acknowledges the agent's illegal actions.

Just a principal would ratify; thus, Van Stavern was not directly imputed to information by the invoices and checks signed by Van Stavern's workers.

The court stated that the use of corporate checks was further proof that Van Stavern regarded the expenditures as business, not private. So Van Stavern could not be held personally liable.

Remember that on Sutton Steel that's not excessively harsh. Sutton understood it was working with a building company and did not seek to get the personal approval of the contract from Van Stavern.

<em>Lawfully, Sutton's agreement in this case is called an unaccepted offer which can be withdrawn at any time.</em>

Which is typical relationship between time and interest rate
allsm [11]
One typical relationship between time and interest rate would be simple interest rate. It is the most simplest interest rate however it is not used nowadays since it  does not account for all cost along the value of the money. For this relationship, interest rate is directly proportional with time.

If the buyer does not have a clear and unambiguous description or specification and wants to find out which supplier can deliver
enyata [817]

If the buyer is trying to determine which provider would offer the best value when and where it is needed but does not have a precise and unambiguous description or specification, he or she will typically issue request for proposal (RFP)

What is Request for Proposal?

When a product or service is needed but does not yet exist, a request for proposals (RFP) is used. The proposal may involve conducting research and development to produce the requested good or service.

The RFP establishes the initial requirements for the good or service and may, to varying degrees, dictate the manner and structure of the supplier's response. Effective RFPs frequently reflect business strategy and short- and long-term goals, giving vendors in-depth knowledge from which to offer a complimentary viewpoint.
