On May 1, Study and Burrow, two college professors, entered into and oral contract under which study agreed to sell his computer
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Check the following explanation

Explanation:

a) Usually a contract has the following elements:

Offer .

Acceptance .

Consideration .

Intention to create a legal relationship .

In the given case, the intention to create a legal relationship is missing. Though Study had sent a written legal contract to Burrow to affirm the contract, Burrow did not show any interest regarding the same. Hence Burrow can’t be sued for breach of contracts. Moreover the confirmation letter sent by Study does not qualify under the Merchant Memo Rule as the involved parties are not merchants. Burrow can use the terms of UCC for his favour. The UCC states that any contract with value more than $500 must be in writing. As the involved amount in this case is $1300, hence this case does not qualify as a contract under UCC.

b) If Study and Burrow were merchants, then the Merchant Memo Rule gets applicable. Then in that case, if 2 merchants enter into an oral contract, which is worth $500 or more and one of the merchant sends a written confirmation for the same, then a contract will be considered enforceable. In such a case, Burrow will be held liable for breach of contract and can be sued by Study.

omeli [17]

Answer:

The bank reconciliation statement is as shown below:

                                                Amount in $

Balance per bank statement     33,650.00  

Deposit in transit                               9,150.00  

Outstanding check                    (17,865.00)

Bank charges                                   80.00  

Note collected                             (6,095.00)

Returned check                                (540.00)

Check drawn                             <u>   (630.00) </u>

Book balance                             <u> 17,750.00</u><u> </u>

Explanation:

Deposit in transit has been recorded in the books, thus the addition to the bank balance. Bank charges have been deducted from the bank balance but not in the cash book hence it is added back. Note collected is yet to be recognized in the books hence the deduction from the bank balance.

Amount recorded from the check returned is more than the actual by $540 hence the deduction. The check drawn has been over charged by the bank to the tune of $630 hence the deduction.
