Multimedia University Business Law Valid Contracts Questions Discussion
For each of the following five questions, explain your answers in as
much detail as possible. For each answer, state the law (including all
of the relevant elements of the law), state the relevant facts, apply
the law to the facts, and give your opinion as to what the outcome
should be. Each answer is 20 points (100 points total).1)
Acme Equipment offers to sell a dough-cutting machine to Big Bagels Inc.
The offer states: “This offer expires Friday noon.” Acme is based in
Boca Raton, Florida. Big Bagels is based in Los Angeles, California. On
Friday, at 10:00 am Eastern time (Florida time), the sales manager for
Acme calls the president of Biscuits and says, "Well, I guess you don’t
want it. Contract is terminated." What are the elements of a valid
offer? Was this a valid offer, and why? Should this contract be
terminated, and why?2) Yellow Heating Inc. offers to ship
furnaces to Zippy Inc. for $4,500 cash. Zippy's CEO e-mails back,
"Great, I accept, as long as we can make that payable in three weeks,
not tomorrow." What are the elements of a valid acceptance? Was this a
valid acceptance and why?3) On Monday morning, Andy and Brian
enter an oral, unwritten contract for the sale of five acres of land in
Delray Beach, Florida, at “$10,000 per acre.” On Tuesday morning, Andy
demands that Brian pay him “$11,000 per acre” for the land. Brian
refuses. Andy sues. Who should win, and why? In your answer, explain
written/oral and implied/express contracts.4) Abby is a
brilliant 16-year-old high school student who has invented "The
Spritzer," a device to keep vegetables fresh in the refrigerator. Abby
goes to TGIThursdays restaurant, where she meets up with Brianna, the
23-year-old sister of Abby's best friend. They sit down for a bite to
eat. Brianna has four vodka-and-tonics, Abby has a Coca-Cola. Brianna
and Abby write a contract on a sheet of paper, and sign it, stating that
Brianna promises to pay Abby $100,000 for all rights in The Spritzer.
Is this a valid contract? What are the reasons why this might not be a
valid contract?You shall be graded on your complete
and proper explanations, research and language usage, all as noted
below. The report must be no more than 1,000 words and is to be
submitted in typed, double-spaced form. A report that does not follow
this form will be deducted per the grading rubric. This project is 15%

Unit VIII Thermodynamic Concepts and Their Applications
STUDY GUIDE AND SAMPLE PROBLEMS ATTACHED. USE ATTACHED TEMPLATE This assignment will allow you to demonstrate the following objectives:Describe thermodynamic concepts and their applications.Extend the first law of thermodynamics to various daily life activities.Identify the maximum efficiency of a heat engine. Explain the role of latent heat while phases are changing.Instructions: Choose 8 of the 10 problems below. Show your work in detail. Answer the questions directly in this template. Before doing this, it is highly recommending that you thoroughly review the four examples in the Unit Lesson.The efficiency of a Carnot engine is e=1-Tc/TH, where Tc is a temperature of the cold reservoir and TH is a temperature of the hot reservoir. What is the condition to have 100% efficiency? Hint: What is the mathematical condition for Tc/TH to be zero.Suppose the work done to compress a gas is 100 J. If 70 J of heat is lost in the process, what is the change in the internal energy of the gas? Hint: Use the first law of thermodynamics. The internal energy of a system changes due to heat (Q) and work (W): U=Q-W.The change in internal energy is equivalent to the difference between the heat added to the system and the work done by the system. Think if the work done is to the system or by the system. This determines the sign of W. An engine’s fuel is heated to 2,000 K and the surrounding air is 300 K. Calculate the ideal efficiency of the engine. Hint: The efficiency (e) of a Carnot engine is defined as the ratio of the work (W) done by the engine to the input heat QH : e=W/QH. W=QH – QC, where Qc is the output heat. That is, e=1-Qc/QH =1-Tc/TH, where Tc for a temperature of the cold reservoir and TH for a temperature of the hot reservoir. The unit of temperature must be in Kelvin.Mr. White claims that he invented a heat engine with a maximum efficiency of 90%. He measured the temperature of the hot reservoir as 100o C and that of cold reservoir as 10o C. Find the error that he made and calculate the correct efficiency. Hint: The efficiency (e) of a Carnot engine is defined as the ratio of the work (W) done by the engine to the input heat QH : e=W/QH. W=QH – QC, where Qc is the output heat. That is, e=1-Qc/QH =1-Tc/TH, where Tc for a temperature of the cold reservoir and TH for a temperature of the hot reservoir. The unit of temperature must be in Kelvin.How much energy is needed to change 100 g of 0o C ice to 0o C water? The latent heat of fusion for water L=335,000 J/kg. Hint: The heat (Q) used to change from one phase to another phase of the matter is Q=mL, where L is the latent heat. Its unit is J/kg.It was determined in the 19th century that the normal human body temperature is 98.6o F. A more recent study found that it is 98.2o F. Express the difference in the temperature in Celsius. Hint: Use the converting formulabetween Fahrenheit and Celsius scales:F=9/5C +32. Be careful about the unit. Suppose 0.5 kg of blood flows from the interior to the surface of John’s body while he is exercising. The released energy is 2,000 J. The specific heat capacity of blood is 4,186 J/kgo C. What is the temperature difference between when the blood arrives at the body surface and returns back to the interior of the body? Hint:Use the formula regarding heat Q, specific heat capacity c, mass m, and temperature change dT.Q= cm dT. Please look at p.290 in our textbook. Also, review Example 1 with its solution in Study Guide. A student does 1,000 J of work when she moves to her dormitory. Her internal energy is decreased by 3,000 J. Determine the heat during this process. Does she gain or lose her heat? Hint: Use the first law of thermodynamics. The internal energy of a system changes due to heat Q and work done W: U=Q-W.Also, look at a similar case, Example 3 with its solution in Study Guide.In a construction site, 2 kg of aluminum shows the increment of temperature by 5oC. Ignoring the work, what is the change in the internal energy of the material? The specific heat capacity of aluminum is 900 J/kg oC. Hint: The internal energy of a system changes due to heat Q and work done W: U=Q-W.If we ignore, the work, the internal energy U is identical to the heat Q of the system. We know that relation between heat Q, specific heat capacity c, mass m, and temperature change dT; Q= cm dT. That is, U=Q=cm dT.The input heat of a Carnot engine is 3,000 J. The temperature of a hot reservoir is 600 K and that of a cold reservoir is 300 K. What is the work done? Hint: The efficiency e of a Carnot engine is defined as the ratio of the work done, W,by the engine to the input heat QH : e=W/QH. W=QH – QC, where Qc is the output heat. That is, e=1-Qc/QH =1-Tc/TH, where Tc for a temperature of the cold reservoir and TH for a temperature of the hot reservoir. The unit of temperature must be in Kelvin.Use the formula, e=1-Tc/TH.Please review the Example 4 with its solution in Study Guide. Once you evaluate, you can find the work done of the system using the formula, e=W/QH

Colorado State University Global Campus Humphead Parrotfish Discussion
Option #1: Helping Save a SpeciesConservation is an interdisciplinary subject where everyday actions of humans have an impact on species in foreign countries. To help solve these impacts it is important to understand how our actions affect the environment. For this Portfolio option you will choose one species that you want to ensure will be around for many generations. It can be any plant or animal naturally found in the wild (i.e., no humans, domestic cats, or domestic dogs). You will produce a paper about the threats your chosen species is facing and how we can help overcome them. You will also create a presentation that you could use to spread the word about the issues your species is facing and encourage people to help them. Your paper will address the following elements:Describe your species, including where they are found, what they eat, who eats them, and how they interact with humans.Discuss the IUCN Red List status of your species (is it endangered?) and research the threats to its survival. Use the IUCN Red List (Links to an external site.) as one of your sources for this section.Describe the threats facing your species and how these threats affect other species as well. Are humans or organizations one of the threats?Discuss solutions to the threats facing your species. What solutions have been presented by people in the field? What solutions can your think of based on what you know?Initiate contact with one person knowledgeable about the species. This could be a university scientist, or perhaps a researcher at a non-profit working to protect the species. In your interview (via email or phone or in person), ask the person to share about what threats the species faces, why it is important to conserve the species, and what actions he or she would recommend to those eager to help with the conservation effort. Document your interview with a transcript or summary paragraph in an appendix page at the end of your paper.Choose two ways you can help save your species. These might be the ideas suggested to you by the researcher, or could be other approaches you came up with on your own. Try them out during part or all of the last three weeks of the course and record data to show how your changes had or did not have an impact. Help an organization working to protect the species (ideally, volunteer to do something, instead of just sending money). Launch a social media campaign about the status of your species. If the species is local, educate your community in some way about the species. Make a lifestyle change that will benefit the species—just make sure it is not one of the five steps you already took in your footprint-reduction project. What else can you think of to do? Whatever actions you take, you will need to figure out a way to gauge whether or not they were effective to any degree.Discuss why you chose the method to help that you did and how it went.Present the data you collected from before and after the change to show the impact your change had.Is this something you could continue to do? What would be the impact on the environment if you did continue to implement this change?Requirements:Your written paper should be 6-8 pages, not counting the title and reference pages, which you must include.You need to cite at least three sources for this assignment, outside of the textbook. One of these sources must come from academic journals. The CSU Global Library (Links to an external site.) is a great place to find resources.Your paper must be formatted according to the CSU Global Writing Center (Links to an external site.).If you need assistance with your writing style, start with the links under the Research Help and Writing Help tabs on the CSU Global Library's (Links to an external site.) homepage.Option #2: Helping Save a Natural AreaConservation is an interdisciplinary subject where everyday actions of humans have an impact on environments around the world. To help solve these impacts it is important to understand how our actions affect the environment. For this Portfolio option your will choose a local natural area that you want to ensure will be around for many generations. It can be a park (national, state, county, municipal) or other protected land (e.g., Nature Conservancy site). You will produce a paper about the threats your natural area is facing and how we can help overcome them, as well as document two specific actions that you have taken. You will also create a presentation sharing your project with the other members of this class. Your paper will address the following elements:Describe your natural area including what species live there, the climate is like, the geography, and the role of humans in your natural area.Discuss the threats facing your natural area. Is climate change causing problems there? Is there a problem with habitat loss? Is pollution causing problems? What else affects your area?Describe how these threats facing your area affect other natural areas as well. Are the threats strictly local ones or do other places experience them as well?Discuss solutions to the threats facing your natural area. What solutions have been presented by others? What solutions can you think of based on what you know?Initiate contact with one person knowledgeable about the natural area. Your best bet would me someone working for the organization currently managing the site. If it is a state park, for instance, see if you can talk to the park naturalist or perhaps even the park manager. In your interview (via email or phone or in person), ask the person to share about what threats the natural area faces, why it is important to conserve the natural area, and what actions he or she would recommend to those eager to help with the conservation effort. Document your interview with a transcript or summary paragraph in an appendix page at the end of your paper.Choose two different ways you could help to protect your natural area. These could be ideas suggested during your interview in the previous step, or could be ideas you came up with on your own. Note that any activities at the natural area that involve any interventions beyond picking up litter should first be approved by agency managing the site. Try the two ways out during part or all of the last three weeks of the course, and record data to show whether or not your actions had an impact. Collect trash there. Volunteer to weed out invasive plants in the natural area, or perhaps lead community walks there to raise awareness of the dangers it faces. You might also consider lifestyle changes that might benefit the park in some way; just make sure that whatever you do does not repeat one of the five actions you took for the footprint-reduction project. What else can you think of to do? Whatever actions you take, you will need to figure out a way to gauge whether or not they were effective to any degree.Discuss why you chose the method to help that you did and how it went.Present the data you collected from before and after the change to show the impact your change had.Is this something you could continue to do? What would be the impact on the environment if you did continue to implement this change?Requirements:Your written paper should be 6-8 pages, not counting the title and reference pages, which you must include.You need to cite at least three sources for this assignment, outside of the textbook.

Document your interview with a transcript or summary paragraph in an appendix page at the end of your paper.Choose two different ways you could help to protect your natural area. These could be ideas suggested during your interview in the previous step, or could be ideas you came up with on your own. Note that any activities at the natural area that involve any interventions beyond picking up litter should first be approved by agency managing the site. Try the two ways out during part or all of the last three weeks of the course, and record data to show whether or not your actions had an impact. Collect trash there. Volunteer to weed out invasive plants in the natural area, or perhaps lead community walks there to raise awareness of the dangers it faces. You might also consider lifestyle changes that might benefit the park in some way; just make sure that whatever you do does not repeat one of the five actions you took for the footprint-reduction project. What else can you think of to do? Whatever actions you take, you will need to figure out a way to gauge whether or not they were effective to any degree.Discuss why you chose the method to help that you did and how it went.Present the data you collected from before and after the change to show the impact your change had.Is this something you could continue to do? What would be the impact on the environment if you did continue to implement this change?Requirements:Your written paper should be 6-8 pages, not counting the title and reference pages, which you must include.You need to cite at least three sources for this assignment, outside of the textbook. One of these sources must come from academic journals. The CSU Global Library (Links to an external site.) is a great place to find resources.Your paper must be formatted according to the CSU Global Writing Center (Links to an external site.).If you need assistance with your writing style, start with the links under the Research Help and Writing Help tabs on the CSU Global Library's homepage.
