Question

ABC, a U.S. company sends by fax an offer to sell to XYZ, a French company, 1,000,000 widgets for $1.00 a widget. XYZ sends back a counter offer of $.75 a widget. ABC rejects the counter offer and sells the widgets to GHK Inc. instead. XYZ then sends an acceptance of the original offer of $1.00. ABC has a contract with XYZ and must give them the 1,000,000 widgets for $1.00 a wideget because they accepted the offer.

A. True
B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B. False.

Further explanation is given below in the explanation section.

Step-by-step explanation:

Offer From ABC Company to XYZ Company:

1,000,000 widgets to sell.

Selling Price of 1 widget = $1.00

Total Price = $1,000,000

Counter Offer from XYZ company to ABC Company.

Selling Price = $0.75

Total Price = 0.75 x 1,000,000 = $750,000

But in the end, ABC company sold its widgets to GHK company.

The correct option to this question is false.

This case is false because here ABC sends an original offer of $1 but XYZ sent a counter offer of $0.75. This counter offer was then duly rejected by ABC.

XYZ cannot again confirm and accept the original offer of ABC because they have already rejected your claim and thus XYZ have to wait until ABC make them another offer.
