On day 7, Sands mailed Jackson an acceptance of the offer. Jackson received the acceptance on day 9. Under the Sales Article of the UCC, was a contract formed?

  4.FAR
  Exeter County operates a water and sewer utility that is subject to rate regulations by the State Utility Regulatory Authority. Exeter County has been approved by the Authority to increase its rates from $8.00 per thousand gallons to $10.00 per thousand gallons. The increase is to be restricted for use in financing capital improvements to the treatment plant. The incremental increase in revenue would be accounted for as:
  a.Other financing sources
  b.Deferred inflows of resources
  c.Water and sewer fund revenues
  d.Contributions in aid of construction
  Answer:
  1.C
  This answer is correct because all such audits require auditors to document an understanding of internal control established to ensure compliance with the applicable laws and regulations.
  2.A
  A is corrent because a data warehouse is an approach to online analytical processing that combines data into a subject-oriented, integrated collection of data used to support management decision-making processes.
  B is incorrect because a data warehouse may or may not be associated with decentralized processing.
  C is incorrect because on-line transaction processing involves day-to-day transaction processing operations.
  D is incorrect because the term essential information batch processing is vague, and is not ordinarily associated with a data warehouse.
  3.D
  Choice "d" is correct. Formation of a contract requires acceptance of an offer before the offer is terminated. Jackson sent Sands an offer and then sent a revocation of the offer, and Sands accepted after receiving the revocation. However, the revocation was invalid because the offer was a merchant's firm offer―an offer made by a merchant in writing giving assurances that it will be kept open. Such offers are irrevocable for the time stated, or if no time is stated for a reasonable time, but in no event longer than three months. Thus, Jackson's offer was irrevocable for a reasonable time. It was accepted within a reasonable time (a few days after the offer was received). Moreover, the contract was accepted when Sands mailed the acceptance because of the mailbox rule―an acceptance is effective upon being dispatched.
  Choice "a" is incorrect. Offers need not state an expiration date to be valid. Absent an expiration date, offers are open for a reasonable time.
  Choice "b" is incorrect. As explained above, the revocation was ineffective because the offer was a merchant's firm offer and could not be revoked for a reasonable time.
  Choice "c" is incorrect. Unless the offer provides otherwise, it is effective upon dispatch rather than receipt.
  4.B
  Choice "B" is correct. The incremental portion of current rates established at a level adequate to recover costs that are expected to be incurred in the future would be displayed as deferred inflows of resources.Choices "c", "d" and "a" are incorrect, per the explanation above.
