Kahn of Portland Oregon sent a letter to Lischner of Los Angeles inquiring whether Kushner’s property in Humboldt County was for

sale. Lischner replied that he was interested in selling and asked Kahn about the fair market value. Kahn wrote that it was difficult to make an offer without a legal description of the property and asked for it and the annual taxes. These were provided by Lischner. Subsequently, Kahn wrote, "I hesitate to place a value on someone else’s property, but I can tell you that I have been offered a similar track of property for $2,000. Since your property is closer to mine, I would prefer to buy yours, and offer a four-year term contract at a total price of $2,500." The two parties ultimately agreed on a cash price of $2,500. Shortly after contracting with Kahn, Lischner went to Humboldt county and readily learned, upon the most superficial inquiry that the property was worth more than $2,500. He sold the property to Pacoima Lumber Sales, Inc. for $7,500. Thereupon, Kahn sued Lischner for $5,000. Lischner responded that he had been induced to contract by a fraudulent misrepresentation as to the value of the property by Kahn and therefore could rescind their contract of sale.What are the elements that must be present for fraudulent misrepresentation? Did Kahn commit fraud? Why, or why not.

Answer:

Misrepresentation & Fraud:

a) Elements for Fraudulent Misrepresentation:

1) A representation was in fact made:  This means that it was not just a mere opinion expressed by the party misrepresenting.

2) That particular representation was false: The statement made was untrue.

3) The defendant had knowledge that the representation was false:  The misrepresentation was intentional on the party of the defendant.

4) The statement was made with the intention that the other party rely on it and enter into a contract or agreement:  The defendant was out to induce the other party to enter the contract.

b) Kahn committed a fraud since he intentionally induced Lischner to contract on the basis of fraudulent misrepresentation.  The remedy available for Lischner is to rescind the contract.

Explanation:

a) Fraudulent misrepresentation is the presentation of false facts by someone who attempts to persuade another into action with the intent to deceive.  The remedy available to the deceived party is to rescind the contract or to plea for damages.

b) According to the  britannica.com, "Fraud, in law, is the deliberate misrepresentation of fact for the purpose of depriving someone of a valuable possession."

Maria is a hard-working college sophomore. One Sunday, she decides to work nonstop until she has answered 100 practice problems
sdas [7]

Answer:

The correct answers are:

i. The marginal, or additional, gain from Maria’s first hour of work, from 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM, is <u>  40  </u> problems.

ii. The marginal gain from Maria’s third hour of work, from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM, is <u>   20   </u> problems

iii. 2 hours working on problems, 2 hours reading (c)

Explanation:

i. The marginal gain from 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM is calculated thus:

work done at 8:00 AM = 0 problems

Work done at 9:00 AM = 40 problems

Marginal gain = (Work done at 9:00 AM) - (work done at 8:00) = 40 - 0 = 40 problems

ii. work done at 10:00 AM = 70 problems

work done at 11:00 AM = 90 problems

Marginal gain = 90 - 70 = 20 problems

iii. To get the best exam score, the most number of problems possible in total must be answered within the 4-hour period, and this is determined as follows:

we are told that Maria gets tired as time progresses and the number of questions answered reduces we notice the following numbers of questions answered in each hour:

8:00 AM to 9:00 AM = 40 - 0 = 40 problems (hour 1)

9:00 AM to 10:00 AM = 70 - 40 = 30 problems (hour 2)

10:00 AM to 11:00 AM = 90 - 70 = 20 problems (hour 3)

11:00 AM to Noon = 100 - 90 = 10 problems (hour 4)

Also, we are told that;

1 hour of reading = 25 problems

Comparing the reading and solving problems, we see that the number of problems solved in hour-1 and hour-2  (40 and 30 respectively) are more than the equivalent number of problems solved in reading for 1 hour, while hour-3 and hour-4 (20 and 10 respectively), have lesser equivalent number of problems each, than reading for one hour. Therefore to make the most out of the 4 hours, Maria will spend the first 2 hours solving problems and the next two hours reading, giving a total of: 40 + 30 + 25 + 25 = 120 problems solved.

In long-run equilibrium, a purely competitive firm will operate where price is ________.
ahrayia [7]

Answer: The correct answer is "D. equal to MR, MC, and minimum ATC.".

Explanation: In long-run equilibrium, a purely competitive firm will operate where price <u>is equal to MR, MC, and minimum ATC.</u>

In perfect competition the companies are accepting price, therefore they will produce as long as the price is equal to the marginal cost and the marginal income thus ensures that the sale of each unit of product does not cost more than the profit obtained from the sale. of this and when the average total cost, that is, the total cost of producing each unit of product, is the least possible.
