Explain why the offer in the following facts has EITHER been revoked or has been accepted (It is only one or the other): Bonnie

offered to sell her laptop computer to Dale. The offer contained all of the necessary terms. The offer stated that it would remain open for 14 days and that Dale should send an acceptance by regular mail. On the 5th day, Bonnie decided that she did not want to enter into the contract and sent a letter stating that the offer was terminated. Dale received and read the letter on the 8th day. However, Dale had sent an acceptance by regular mail on the 7th day.

Answer:

The offer was accepted and a binding contract has been formed.

Explanation:

The offeror (Bonnie) can revoke her offer anytime before the offeree has accepted the offer. In order for the revocation to take place, the offeree must have been notified about it.

The problem here is that before the offeree (Dale) was notified that the offer had been revoked, he had already accepted the offer. So a contract has already been formed.

In common law, the posting rule establishes that an offer is accepted as soon as it has been mailed to the offeror. So in this case, Dale accepted the offer on the 7th day, and was notified about the revocation on the 8th day. So the acceptance is prior to the revocation, therefore, the revocation is not valid. The posting rule only applies to the acceptance of the offer, not to the revocation of the offer.

Multiple Choice

$6,600 less than under absorption costing.

$7,680 less than under absorption costing.

the same as absorption costing.

$7,680 greater than under absorption costing.

Answer:

The Southern Corporation

The carrying value on the balance sheet of the ending inventory of finished goods under variable costing would be:

$6,600 less than under absorption costing.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Variable costs per unit:

Production $ 35

Selling and administrative $ 14

Fixed costs per year:

Production $ 175,560

Selling and administrative $ 140,450

Production units last year = 7,980 units

Sales units last year = 7,680 units

Ending inventory = 300 (7,980 - 7,680) units

Value of Ending inventory:

1. Variable Costing:

Production $ 35 * 300 = $10,500

2. Absorption Costing:

Variable Production $ 35 * 7,980 = $279,300

Fixed Production overhead             $ 175,560

Total production costs =                  $454,860

Units produced = 7,980

Unit cost = $57

Ending inventory = $17,100 ($57 * 300)

Difference = $6,600 ($17,100 - $10,500)

Lelechka [254]

Answer: a) the type of exposure to Geomyces destructans; whether the bats became sick with WNS

Explanation: The independent variable refers to the variables employed by the experimenter to use as a tool to observe changes in the dependent variable. In an experimental study, the independent variables are usually the different controls adopted for the experiment. In the scenario above, the independent variable is the type of exposure to Geomyces destructans which each of the groups are exposed to. These variation in control in which the different groups are exposed to may result in different response within the group which is the change in WNS. These response due to exposure to different control is called the dependent variable.
