Ocean Vessels, Inc., and Pacific Harbor Company enter into a contract for a sale of a boat. Ocean is a merchant who deals in goo

UNO [17]

Answer:

d.regardless of what Ocean knew or could have discovered.

Explanation:

The uniform commercial code are a set of rules that govern transactions involving sale of goods. One of such rules is the implied warranty of merchantability.

When goods are sold there is an implied warranty that the item will perform up to a particular level.

For example if one buys a television not is expected that the television will work. If it does not come on, implied warranty has been breached.

So in this case regardless of what Ocean knew or could have discovered, selling defective goods is a breach of implied warranty of merchantability.

To manufacture 3,000 pairs of sandals in a week, a firm can use 3,600 workers and 135 machines or 270 machines and 3,300 workers

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

3,600 workers and 135 machines is more technically efficient.

Explanation:

a. For 3,600 workers and 135 machines

Worker technical efficiency = 3,600/3,000 = $120%

Machine technical efficiency = 135 / 3,000 = 4.50%

Average technical efficiency = (120% + 4.5%) / 2 = 62.25%

b. For 270 machines and 3,300 workers.

Worker technical efficiency = 270/3,000 = $9%

Machine technical efficiency = 3,300 / 3,000 = 110%

Average technical efficiency = (9% + 110%) / 2 = 59.50%

Conclusion

Since the average technical efficiency of 62.25% is higher than 59.50%, 3,600 workers and 135 machines is more technically efficient.

Your friend Wanda established her gourmet dog treat business, Salty Pawz, using personal funds, since she initially sold her pro

denpristay [2]

Based on the advantages and disadvantages for each type of financing mentioned below, the best method for financing the expansion for Wanda's business is taking a loan (e.g. 1 year).

Take a term loan (e.g. 1 year)

A term loan is best described as an amount provided by the bank for a fixed amount and a agreed payment schedule with an interest rate either fixed or floating.

The main advantage of a bank loan is that it would not be repaid on demand instead it would be paid back as per schedule within a period of 1 to 10 years. Another advantage is that you would only have to pay the bank the interest rate and not the company's profit or share.

The disadvantage is that when loans are taken, then the amount (principal) and interest is to be repaid even if the loan is not being used. Another possible disadvantage is that a loan can be obtained if you have any asset (such as a house or car) to be kept as security. This is a guarantee in the likely event the bank's loan is not repaid on time.

Look for investors to fund her business in exchange for ownership in the company

This means finding individuals/institutions to provide financing as capital to be used in business for expansion.

Unlike a bank loan, here the investors accept the risk that if the business fails then their financing would be lost. Therefore, if the business ends up in losses then the amount is not required to be returned to their respective financiers. Another advantage is that you don't require any credit history to earn financing through investors.

The main disadvantage is that the sharing (profits) are divided between multiple investors based on their investment or as per their agreed sharing ratio. Moreover, the new investors might prefer to take more risks for a business to grow and which means that the stakes are always high.

In conclusion, Wanda is working on a small business and which is expanding at a slow rate with the risk being kept at a bare minimum. In which case taking a loan with amount and duration being set at a point where she would be able to return the loan acquired, is a better financing option for Wanda's business.

Inez has a specific set of plans to build a sailboat. the plans are detailed in nature, and any boat builder can build the boat.

navik [9.2K]

Inez is still obligated to accept delivery of the boat because it is still the boat that she contracted out and built to the specifications that she requested. Just because it was contracted out to another company doesn't mean that she didn't get what she wanted for the price she wanted. If she didn't have a specific design then she might have an argument, however she did and it was built to that design specs.
