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.

MC Qu. 90 Locus Company has total fixed costs... Locus Company has total fixed costs of $117,000. Its product sells for $51 per
irina [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is 7,020 units.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the computation of the given data are as follows:

Fixed cost = $117,000

Selling price = $51

Variable cost = $26

Pretax income to earn = 50% of fixed cost

So, Pretax income = 50% × $117,000 = $58,500

So, we can calculate the units required by using following formula:

Units required = (Total fixed costs + Pretax income) ÷ (Selling price - variable cost)

= ($117,000 + $58,500) ÷ ( $51 - $26)

= 7,020 units.

Olenka [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

The case of Ziva Jewelry Inc., v. Car Wash Headquarters Inc involved a salesperson Stewart who locked jewellery in his car and took it to the car wash.

He did not disclose that there was expensive jewelry in the car.

The attendant finished washing the car and signalled to Stewart that his car was ready and walked away from the car.

Before Stewart could pay the bill someone had taken the car. Although the police recovered the car the jewellery was stolen.

Zeva Jewellry filed a motion against the car wash that they did not excercise due care in returning the vehicle.

In this instance the car wash was not liable because Stewart did not disclose there was expensive jewelry in the car.

Also the attendant had finished with his car and informed him of this. So it was out of their care when the car theft occured
