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.

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

Income effect

Explanation:

The effect is because the customer purchasing power has been changed due to which he is now able to buy more to fulfill his needs and wants. The income effect occurs due to two reasons.

Number 1. The real income of the person has been increased which means his purchasing power has been increased. This means previously you were earning $2000 a month and now you are earning $10000 a month. Now you can buy New Iphone every month because your real income has been increased and this has increased your purchasing power.

Number 2. The price of the product has been fallen and now it is in range of the purchasing power of the customer. This means that if Iphones 11 are available at $100 then everybody buy Iphone 11. This is because the product is in the range of purchasing power of greater number of customers.

However, these programs are also carrying a potential here. But there potential is much greater in poor countries having less developed banking and financial reach.
