The Bassos contracted with Dierberg to purchase her property for $1,310,000. One term of the contract stated, "[t]he sale under

this contract shall be closed . . . at the office of Community Title Company. . . on May 16, 1988 at 10:00 am. . . . Time is of the essence of this contract." After forming the contract, the Bassos assigned their right to purchase Dierberg’s property to Miceli and Slonim Development Corp. At 10:00 am on May 16, 1988, Dierberg appeared at Community Title for closing. No representative of Miceli and Slonim was there, nor did anyone from Miceli and Slonim inform Dierberg that there would be any delay in the closing. At 10:20 am, Dierberg declared the contract null and void because the closing did not take place as agreed, and she left the title company office shortly thereafter. Dierberg had intended to use the purchase money to close another contract to purchase real estate later in the day. At about 10:30 AM, a representative of Miceli and Slonim appeared at Community Title to begin the closing, but the representative did not have the funds for payment until 1 :30 PM. Dierberg refused to return to the title company, stating that Miceli and Slonim had breached the contract by failing to tender payment on time. She had already made alternative arrangements to finance her purchase of other real estate to meet her obligation under that contract. Miceli and Slonim sued Dierberg, claiming that the contract did not require closing exactly at 10:00 AM, but rather some time on the day of May 16. Will they prevail?

Answer:

Certainly, they cannot prevail.  The contract terms stated clearly that "time is of the essence of this contract."  The Bassos and Miceli and Slonim Development Corp did not actually respect this contract term.

The contract was expected to have closed at 10:00 am on May 16, 1988, and not after.  By the time that Dierberg left the venue, the contract should have been finalized.  Alternatively, if there were unseen delays, Dierberg should have been informed at least 30 minutes before 10:00 am.

Explanation:

The argument by Miceli and Slonim does not hold water.  The contract did require closing exactly at 10:00 AM, and not some time on May 16.  In my considered opinion, suing Dierberg is a waste of court time and process.

Etmer enterprises has budgeted sales for the next four months as follows: budgeted sales in units january 7,400 units february 4
Artyom0805 [142]

Units to be produced in February is calculated as -

Units to be produced in February = February sales + Ending inventory of February - Beginning inventory

February sales = 4,600 units

Ending inventory = 25 % * Sales of March = 25 % * 5,300 units = 1,325 units

Beginning inventory - 25 % * Sales of February = 25 % * 4,600 unit = 1,150 units

Units to be produced in February = 4,600 units + 1,325 units - 1,150 units

Units to be produced in February = 4,775 units

b. Now suppose instead that housing credits are withdrawn gradually at a rate of $500 for each $1,000 that someone is earning ab
zavuch27 [327]

Answer: $0

Explanation:

Layla qualifies for $8,000 in housing credits.

These are withdrawn at $500 for every $1,000 she earns above the wage limit of $26,500

Layla's annual income = 35,000 + 7,500

= $42,500

Amount earned above limit = 42,500 - 26,500

= $16,000

Amount of housing credit withdrawn is $500 per thousand so for $16,000, $8,000 will be withdrawn from her housing credit.

Housing credit = 8,000 - 8,000

= $0

Which of the following materials could be potentially infected with bloodborne pathogens, assuming they are not mixed with human
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

Semen or vaginal secretions

Explanation:

"Bloodborne pathogens" refer to microorganisms that can be found in the blood or body fluids of humans. There are many kinds of bloodborne diseases such as <em>Hepatitis B</em> and<em> Hepatitis C</em> as well as <em>Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).</em> They can be transmitted to another person through <em>having contact with the infected human blood or body fluids.</em>

Assuming that the materials above are not mixed with human blood (meaning, they are not contaminated with blood), then the semen or vaginal secretions are the only materials where the bloodborne pathogens can be transmitted. Thus, it is important <u>not to have sexual contact with the contaminated person such as people with HIV.</u>

So, this explains the answer.

Butoxors [25]

The demand curve will shift right.

(b.)The supply curve will shift right.

(c.)The demand curve will shift left

(d.)The supply curve will shift right.

(e.)The demand curve will shift left.

The demand curve is a graphical depiction of the connection between the cost of a commodity or service and the amount demanded over a specific time period. A common representation will have the price on the left-hand vertical axis and the amount needed on the right-hand horizontal axis. The law of demand states that, when all other factors are equal, the quantity demanded for a given good will decrease as its price rises as shown by the demand curve moving from left to right. Keep in mind that this formulation suggests that quantity is the dependent variable and price the independent variable. The independent variable often appears on the horizontal axis, or x-axis, although economics is an exception.
