Archer, in Chicago, wrote to Ganze in New York City offering to purchase her antique car. When she received the letter, Ganze ma
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

<u>No</u>

Explanation:

<em>Remember, </em>in business law, as long as both parties did not sign a contractual document, the purchase is not legal.

In this case, it could be observed that Ganze only "mailed an acceptance" not a signed document between both parties agreeing on the purchase of her antique car.

Also, the fact that she quickly sent a telegram letting  Archer know that she is rejecting the offer, shows that she acted in good fate to withdraw her acceptance on time.

ehidna [41]

Answer:

absolute on grain: neither, both produce 10

comparative grain: Italy as renounce to less tonds of dates: 0.5 to 2.5

absolute dates: Niger 25 to 5

comparative dates: Niger as it cost 0.4 tonds of grain to produce 1 ton of dates.

Fot the comparative, we will check the opportunity cost:

<em>output/potential output of another product</em>

<em />

opp cost grain in Niger: 25/10 = 2.5 tonds of dates

opp cost dates in Italy: 10/5 = 2 tonds of grain

opp cost dates in Niger 10/25 = 0.4 tonds of grain

Which of the following statements is CORRECT? a. The advantage of the basic earning power ratio (BEP) over the return on total a
leonid [27]

Answer: The advantage of the basic earning power ratio (BEP) over the return on total assets for judging a company's operating efficiency is that the BEP does not reflect the effects of debt and taxes

Explanation:

a. This is correct.

The advantage of basic earning power ratio over the return on the total assets for judging a firm's operating efficiency is that the basic earning power does not reflect effects of debt and taxes.

b. This is incorrect.

Only the price/earnings ratio of the company will tell us nothing about a company. When we compare the price/earnings of a company with the peers, we would know whether such company is under valued, or over valued or maybe fairly valued.

c. This is incorrect.

The total assets is made up of total liabilities plus the shareholders equity, when other things are held constant, less debt simply means less liabilities. To balance both sides, the total assets should reduce as the shareholder's equity is constant. When total assets decreases, the return on the assets will increase.

d. This is incorrect.

We can reach a conclusion on which firm is better managed based on the facts given. The debt ratio is the total liabilities divided by total assets, and a lower ratio is known to be good in comparison to a higher ratio. Similarly, the profit margin is the profit divided by the sales, and low profit margin shows high expenses and also a need for the management to decrease the expense.
