A contract is a legal enforceable agreement. The contract is …show more content…

There was nothing that made one think that there was a written contract. There are some exemption of the Statue of Frauds, permits such as admissions in petitioning of an oral contract and special manufactured goods as long as it is between two merchants and is a confirming letter exclusion (Rogers, 2012). Fireworks are a special manufactured good and it would be governed by the UCC. However with the display or creating and performing shows then the common law would dominate and it would actually be a common law. In the Acme Company, the common law would govern because it included services and the sales of goods and after the show is performed then the goods would no longer be

    Once that a juvenile needs to be interviewed in regards to the investigation of a fire the interview should be done in a quiet area or room free of noise, distractions, and interruptions. One mindset of the juvenile fire setter is to demonstrate that authority figures have no impact on them and will demonstrate a “bad attitude”. The ability to annoy and frustrate an investigator is rewarding to them. One way to counteract this tactic is to ignore it as best as possible. The investigator needs to stay on track and keep the focus on the goal of getting the needed information. The investigator needs to be clear to the juvenile the purpose of the interview and expectations beforehand. The investigator needs to open with what will happen to the

  • Four Elements Of A Contract

    903 Words  | 2 Pages

    The four elements of a contract are the agreement, the consideration, contractual capacity, and a legal object. The oral agreement between Sam and the chain store satisfies the agreement element of a contract definition because when the chain store offered to sell Sam 's invention at their stores, Sam accepted by agreeing to ship 1000 units in exchange. The second element of a contract, the “consideration of each party,” is satisfied because Sam and the chain store have something to give the other (1000 units of the invention in exchange for the exclusive sales of the product at their stores). The third element is “contractual capacity,” which may or may not be fulfilled since we do not know Sam 's age or whether

  • Apex Art Case Study

    1119 Words  | 3 Pages

    A company known as Apex Art was recently asked to prepare a bid on 500 pieces of framed artwork for a new hotel. If Apex Art wins the bid, then the benefits would lead directly to sales representative Jason Grant, whose income relies on commission. In other words, he would receive a large sum of money as a result of the winning bid. The cost accountant for Apex, Sonja Gomes, prepared the bid and calculated the total product costs of the framed artwork to be $121,000. Since the company policy states that the pricing must be at 125% of full cost, Gomes provides Grant a total amount of $151,200 to submit for the job. Grant notifies Gomes that at the price of $151,200, the company is incapable of winning the job. He confesses to Gomes that he had spent $500 of company funds to treat the hotel’s purchasing agent to a basketball playoff game where the purchasing agent revealed to him that a bid of $145,000 would win the job. At first, Grant had no intention of letting Gomes know of this information because he was sure that she would have developed a bid that would be below the amount that the purchasing agent told him about, $145,000. Therefore, he thoroughly explains to Gomes that if the company does not take advantage of the important information that the purchasing agent had revealed to him, then the $500 of company funds that he had spent would go to waste. Nevertheless, Apex Art would still generate some profit if it wins the bid at $145,000 because it is higher than the full cost of $121,000. In order to come to fair grounds, Gomes advises Grant to use cheaper materials for the frame, which will assist him in attaining a bid of $145,000. Since the artwork was pre- selected and thus cannot be altered, the total amount of cost redu...

    In the case, “Facing a Fire” prepared by Ann Buchholtz, there are several problems and issues to identify in determining if Herman Singer should rebuild the factory due to a fire or retire on his insurance proceeds. I believe that this case is about social reform and self-interest. I think that Singer needs to ask himself, what is in the firm’s best economic interests. There are several things to question within this case, what should Herman Singer do and why, should he rebuild the factory or begin retirement, if he rebuilds, should he relocate the firm to an area where wages are lower and what provisions, if any, should Singer make for his employees as well as for the community?

    This judgment given set criterion which is still been used in the modern court system and due to this case it was developed that an offer of contract can be unilateral and doesn’t have to be made to a specific party only. Also it was developed to that the acceptance of an offer does not require a notification and that once the concerned party purchases the product the contract is active then and there itself. And it was also established that purchase of an item is a fine example of consideration and therefore makes it a valid contract. (Smith, 2000).
