tester [92]

This shift in demand was likely the result of the improved technology of MP3 players.
Improved technology brought improved quality of MP3 players, which meant that more people were interested in buying them. MP3 players are far more convenient than CD players, because they are smaller, more easily portable, and overall better.

A debtor owed a creditor $1,200 on a promissory note that was due on August 1. After the debtor told the creditor that he might

Ilya [14]

Answer:

The correct option is C. Yes, because the debtor incurred a different obligation than he already had.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete as the options are omitted. The question is therefore completed before answering the question by providing the options as follows:

A. No, because the debtor incurred no additional detriment that would serve as consideration for the new agreement.

B. Yes, because it would have cost the creditor $1,200 to purchase the entertainment system himself.

C. Yes, because the debtor incurred a different obligation than he already had.

D. Yes, because the new agreement between the debtor and the creditor is enforceable with or without

Explanation of the answer is now provided as follows.

It is possible to enforce the two parties' new agreement as an accord.

An accord can be described as an agreement in which one party to an existing contract agrees to accept some other, different performance from the other party in lieu of the performance that the other party is obligated to provide. In principle, an agreement must be backed by payment, but the consideration can be less than the amount agreed upon in the preceding contract if it is of a different character or the claim is to be paid to a third party. The responsibility of the debtor to supply the creditor with a new entertainment system was enough fresh consideration to constitute a legal agreement in this case.

When a party's responsibility is modified in some way, as the debtor's duty was in this case, the preceding legal duty rule does not apply. It makes no difference whether the creditor's benefit in the accord arrangement is equal to the original debt's worth; courts will find appropriate consideration if the consideration is fresh or different in any way. The difference in the debtor's obligation, that is, payment is in the form of an entertainment system rather than cash) is enough to sustain the accord arrangement, regardless of how much the entertainment system would have cost the creditor.

The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) does not apply because the original agreement was not for the sale of goods. The underlying commitment in this case was to pay a debt secured by a promissory note.

Therefore, the correct option is C. Yes, because the debtor incurred a different obligation than he already had.

Suppose your friend is a music major who sings at weddings. She has no fixed or marginal costs for singing and has two types of

ehidna [41]

Answer: a. $4,000

b. $5,000

Explanation:

a. If she can sing at each wedding but decides to maximise profits, she will only sing at the weddings of those paying her $200 as it is the higher of the two payment options.

Should she sing at the $200 customer weddings, she would make;

= 20 people * $200

= $4,000

b. Price Discrimination is the charging of different types of customers different prices for the same or similar goods.

If your friend knows how to perfectly charge the two different groups the different prices that they value her at then she will be able to attend and sing at both weddings making her revenue;

= (10* $100) + (20 * $200)

= 1,000 + 4,000

= $5,000
