I believe it’s B it makes more sense
Answer:
a. $15,500
Explanation:
Based on LIFO, cost of 1500 unit sold will be entirely from the Purchases (year X1). Therefore, we have:
Value of units purchases (year X1) outstanding after sales = (2,000 - 1,500) * $11 = 500 * $11 = $5,500
Therefore, we have
LIFO Inventory on 12/31/X1 = Value of beginning Inventory (1/1/X1) + $5,500 = $10,000 + $5,500 = $15,500.
Answer:
Provide the buyer with funds for a foreseeable loss beyond the contract
Explanation:
Consequential damages in contracts is different from incidental or actual damages because it causes a loss that impacts the business of the other party beyond the contract horizon, when the opposite party fails to fulfill his side of the contractual obligations.
In the scenario, Nevada's failure to deliver within agreed contractual timing is not just delaying the time of Meatpackers but as a consequence, is also causing them loss in money terms which will impact their business beyond the contract horizon.
Hence an award of consequential damages to Meatpackers will provide the buyer with funds for a foreseeable loss beyond the contract.
