Russ Wyant owned Humble Ranch in Perkins County, South Dakota. Edward Humble, whose parents had previously owned the ranch, was

Wyant’s uncle. Humble held a two-year option to buy the ranch. The option included specific conditions. Once it was exercised, the parties had thirty days to enter into a purchase agreement, and the seller could become the buyer’s lender by matching the terms of the proposed financing. After the option was exercised, the parties engaged in lengthy negotiations, but Humble did not respond to Wyant’s proposed purchase agreement nor advise him of available financing terms before the option expired. Six months later, Humble filed a suit against Wyant to enforce the option. Is Humble entitled to specific performance? Explain

Answer:

Cosnider the following text.

Explanation:

In accordance with the United Stated Contract Law, peformance must form an integral part of the contract and any of it's clauses, along with consideration for the same.

As seen in the case above, specific provisions in the contract provide for the possibility of the seller becoming the buyer's lender by matching the terms of the proposed financing. However, it must be understood that a decision taken about the same by either one party is not binding on the other, and comes into effect only if it is mutually agreed upon under the same terms.

In the case above, Russ' uncle, Edward has exercised his two year option to buy the land from Russ, which if exercised, gave the parties 30 days to conclude the sale. However, as seen in the question, Russ's uncle, Edward was unresponsive to Russ' proposed purchase plan, indicating that he was aware of the terms of the contract and Russ' proposal, yet chose not to act on it. However, owing to the time clause in the contract, failure to respond an come to an agreement by either of the parties within the specified time, would render it void. Furthermore, Edward did not advise Russ on the financing terms pertaining to the contract before it's expiry, indicating that he had no interest in performing the contract.

Therefore, it should be understoof that Edward is not entitled to specific performance as a remedy in this case, as it is his fault and not Russ' fault for the non-performance of his part of the contract. He does not have any remedy at all, unless he is able to prove beyond reasonable doubt that Russ had not made efforts to communicate with him. Russ on the other hand, can sue Edward according to the terms of the contract and seek damages accordingly.

Answer:

Weighted average:

EI:            2,290

COGS:     9, 160

LIFO

EI:            2,400

COGS:     9,050

FIFO

EI:            3,000

COGS:     8,450

Explanation:

beginning 75 units at $ 18 = $  1,350

Mar. 15    200 units at $21 =  $ 4,200

Sept. 4    175 units at $24 =  $ 1,800

July 20   125 units at $22 =  $ 2,750

Dec. 2      50 units at $27 =  $ 1,350

total units:  625 units cost of goods available: 11,450

average cost: 11,450/625  =  $ 18.32 per unit

inventory units: 625 - 500 = 125 units

Weighted average:

EI:          125 x $18.32 = 2,290

COGS: 500 x $18.32 = 9, 160

500 units were sold

LIFO:

last units are sold while frist are inventory

ending inventory

beginning 75 units at $ 18 = $  1,350

Mar. 15      50 units at $21 =  $<u>  1,050  </u>

                                  Total      2,400

COGS: available - ending inventory

11,450 - 2,400 = 9,050

FIFO

first units are sold while last are inventory

Dec. 2      50 units at $27 =  $ 1,350

July 20     75 units at $22 =  $ <u>1,650   </u>

                                  Total      3,000

COGS: available - ending inventory

11,450 - 3,000 = 8,450

In one hour, the United States can produce 25 tons of steel or 250 automobiles. In one hour,Japan can produce 30 tons of steel o
MArishka [77]

Answer:

Option (D) is correct.

Explanation:

In United states:

Can produce 25 tons of steel or 250 automobiles,

Opportunity cost of producing a ton of steel = 250 ÷ 25

                                                                          = 10 automobiles

Opportunity cost of producing 1 automobile = 25 ÷ 250

                                                                         = 0.1 tons of steel

In Japan:

Can produce 30 tons of steel or 275 automobiles,

Opportunity cost of producing a ton of steel = 275 ÷ 30

                                                                          = 9.17 automobiles

Opportunity cost of producing 1 automobile = 30 ÷ 275

                                                                         = 0.11

Therefore,

United States has a comparative advantage in producing automobiles because the opportunity cost of producing automobiles is lower than the Japan.

Japan has a comparative advantage in producing steel because the opportunity cost of producing steel is lower than the United states.
