Courts Distributors needed two hundred compact refrigerators on a rush basis. It contacted Eastinghouse Corporation, a manufactu

rer of refrigerators. Eastinghouse said it would take some time to quote a price on an order of that size. Courts replied, "Send the refrigerators immediately and bill us later." The refrigerators were delivered three days later, and the invoice arrived ten days after that. The invoice price was $140,000. Courts believe that the wholesale market price of the refrigerators is only $120,000. Do the parties have a contract? If so, what is the price? Explain.

Answer:

Courts Distributors and Eastinghouse Corporation

Dispute over Contract Price

The two parties have a legal contract.  The contract was established when Courts requested Eastinghouse to send the refrigerators and bill later.

The exact price for the contract is in dispute.  This dispute can be resolved between the parties.  Reference to the market price will help resolve the dispute, otherwise, the parties may seek alternative dispute resolutions, like litigation, mediation, or arbitration.

Explanation:

a) Data and Analysis:

Eastinghouse's invoice price for the refrigerators = $140,000

Courts' adopted market price = $120,000

b) Since Courts' reference to the price is with regard to the wholesale market price, it may be that Eastinghouse quoted the retail price instead.  Since Courts is a distributor, it has the right to be charged a wholesaler's price and not a retailer's.  Therefore, we can conclude that after due reference to the prevailing market price of similar refrigerators, the two parties may agree to a price of $120,000 or a little higher.

Thrift rents a compact car for $33 per day, and General rents a similar car for $20 per day plus an initial fee of $65. For how
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

The Correct answer would be, When Days will be greater than 5

Explanation:

There are two companies who give cars on rent.

Thrift rents a car for $33 per day

i-e

T=$33D

General rents the car for $20

i-e

G=$20D

and general charges an initial fee of $65

So  

G=$20 + $65

So according to question, for how many days it would be cheaper to rent from General.

So when charges by general are less than charges by thrift, as shown below:

65+20D < 33D

65 < 33D-20D

65 < 13D

D > 5

So the answer would be 5 Days.

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

the farmer's total revenue when she uses the direct channel = 400 x $2.49 = $996

if she uses the indirect channel, her total revenue = 650 x $1.63 = $1,059.50

her total revenue will increase when selling to he supermarkets, but also her variable production costs will increase. This means that it is probable that her total contribution margin decreases even if total revenue decreases.
