Answer:

Alpha will win because there was no valid contract.

Explanation:

Alpha made a firm offer to Zeno, but the offer clearly stated that it was valid until July 1st and Zeno didn't accept the offer. Time limits matter, and Zeno didn't accept during the valid time limit. Zeno's acceptance can be considered a counteroffer but Alpha can decide to take it or not. Since Alpha didn't consider it a good offer then it can reject it. An offer does not constitute a contract, it must be accepted in order for a contract to exist and be enforceable.

ki77a [65]

Answer:

Assets= 15,000

Liabilities= 10,000

Owner's equity= 5,000

Explanation:

When he invests 5,000 of his own money that 5,000 is an asset as it is cash and the 10,000 he borrows is also an asset as it is cash. The liabilities are 10,000 as he has to pay 10,000 back and it is a loan so it is a liability also.

The owners equity is 5,000 as he invested 5,000 of his own money in the business and that is owners equity.
