Shrink-Wrap Agreements. TracFone Wireless, Inc., sells phones and wireless service. The phones are sold for less than their cost

, and TracFone recoups this loss by selling prepaid airtime for their use on its network. Software in the phones prohibits their use on other networks. The phones are sold subject to the condition that the buyer agrees "not to tamper with or alter the software." This condition is printed on the packaging. Bequator Corp. bought at least 18,616 of the phones, disabled the software so that they could be used on other networks, and resold them. Is Bequator liable for breach of contract? Explain.

Answer: Yes they are

Explanation:

This is a Shrink-Wrap Agreement which means that in order to use a product, one has to accept the conditions that come with it. The term gets its name from the agreement printed on the shrink-wrap (plastic wrap) of a product. Tearing it off and using that product implies that you agree to the terms printed.

Bequator Corp., in buying the phones agreed with TracFone Wireless Inc's condition that the buyer will <em>"not to tamper with or alter the software"</em>. Bequator however went ahead and tampered with the phones they bought such that the phones could now be used on other networks.

This is a clear violation of the condition that TracFone sold it to them under which means that Bequator Corp. is quite liable for breach of contract.

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

The sale of business units are one time events that should not be common. If the only way that IBM can show profit is by selling business divisions, in a very short time it will run out of divisions to sell. A company's intrinsic value is given by its cash flows, especially the operating cash flow.

Eastern Motors Auto Dealership wanted to estimate the average CLV over a 5 year time horizon of a customer who purchases a new v
motikmotik

Answer:

the average profit from selling a car = $25,500 x 9% = $2,295

the average profit from providing 1 service = $122

customer lifetime value = (Annual profit per customer x customer relationship in years) - customer acquisition cost

the current CLV = $2,295 + ($122 x 8 x 81%) = $3,085.56

if you are able to increase the probability of using the company's maintenance services by 5% (from 815 to 86%), then the new CLV = $2,295 + ($122 x 8 x 86%) = $3,134.36

the difference = $3,134.36 - $3,085.56 = $48.80

Theoretically, you can spend up to $48.80 in the service loyalty program. But this analysis is incomplete, since providing a good service should also increase the possibility of selling a new car to the same customer after 5 years. This should extend the customer relationship for many years. E.g. that has been a major factor in the success of Honda and Toyota.
