The UCC rule says that a merchant who offers to buy, sell, or lease goods and gives a written and signed assurance on a separate form that the offer will be held open cannot revoke the offer for the time stated or if no time is stated, for a reasonable time is referred to as the <u>Firm Offer Rule.</u>
<u></u>
<h3><u>A Firm Offer: What Is It?</u></h3>
When goods are sold, a firm offer is deemed to have been made when a guarantee to keep the offer open has been signed and the selling merchant meets the requirements for a merchant under the Uniform Commercial Code. Customers frequently ask for a definite offer so they can be certain of their cost over a predetermined period of time. A lot of retailers also request definite offers from their suppliers. Firm offers have a number of benefits, but there is a chance that things could change and the original offer would no longer be appropriate.
For instance, you might not be able to maintain the price you initially proposed due to rising raw material costs or running out of stock.
Only the time period specified in the offer is valid for firm offers. If the offer does not include a deadline, it will be valid for a maximum of three months.

Answer:
$1,035.84
Explanation:
Number of years to maturity (Nper) = 20
Annual Coupon payment (PMT) = 1000*2.35% =$23.50
Payment at maturity (FV) = $1000
Yield to maturity (Rate) = 2.13%
<em>Using the MsExcel Present value function</em>
Clean(flat) price = PV(Nper, PMT, FV, Rate)
Clean(flat) price = PV(20, 23.50, 1000, 2.13%)
Clean(flat) price = 1035.8436
Clean(flat) price = $1,035.84

Increase in Cash/bank = $1000+ $26 = $1026
Decrease in Cash/bank = $76+$260 = $336
Explanation:
The entries for each transaction is as follows:
1- Bank service charges:
Service charges exp Dr $76
Bank Cr $76
(Note: Bank has provided us with banking services, the charges of which is an expense for Bourne incorporated and the settlement of which will reduce our bank balance, a credit.)
2- NSF check from a customer:
Entry:
Acc receivable Dr $260
Bank Cr $260
(Note: A NSF check is a non-sufficient funds check which implies that the customer doesn't have sufficient funds to pay for whatsoever services rendered by us. Upon receipt of such a check we must have increased our bank and decreased our receivable but since it has been dishonored we need to reverse the entry by decreasing our bank and increasing our receivable balance until it's settled by the customer.)
3- Customer's note receivable collected by the bank:
Entry:
Bank Dr $1000
Receivable Cr $1000
(Note: Bank has received a note against a receivable which results in an increase in our bank balance and decrease in or respective customer account and/or receivable.)
4- Interest earned:
Entry:
Bank Dr $26
Interest income Cr $26
(Note: The money deposited by Bourne Incorporated has earned interest which by nature is an income for Bourne. So Bank is debited and interest income is credited to increase both bank and income simultaneously.)
