MGT 225-business Law- Ucc Quiz (25)

Under the rules of the UCC, contracts for the sale of goods must be in writing if they are valued at $500 or more. This means that any sales contracts for goods that exceed this value must be documented in writing to be enforceable.

The correct answer is "Notes, certificates of deposit, drafts, and checks." These four specific types of negotiable instruments are recognized by the UCC (Uniform Commercial Code). Notes refer to promissory notes, which are written promises to repay a specific amount of money. Certificates of deposit are issued by banks and represent a deposit with a fixed term and interest rate. Drafts are orders to pay money, similar to checks but typically used in international transactions. Checks are written orders to pay a specific amount of money from one party to another.

The correct answer is a consistent and integrated framework of rules to deal with all aspects of commercial sales transactions. The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) is a set of laws that govern commercial transactions in the United States. It provides a standardized set of rules and regulations that apply to the sale of goods, including contracts, warranties, and remedies for breach of contract. The UCC aims to create a uniform and fair system for conducting business transactions across different states, ensuring consistency and predictability in commercial sales.

Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) governs sales contracts, which are agreements for the transfer of ownership of goods from a seller to a buyer. On the other hand, Article 2(A) of the UCC governs lease contracts, which are agreements where the lessor transfers the right to use goods to the lessee in exchange for payment. Therefore, the correct answer is "Sales; lease" because Article 2 governs sales contracts and Article 2(A) governs lease contracts.

When you lease an automobile from an automobile dealer, the contract is covered by Article 2A of the UCC. The UCC, or Uniform Commercial Code, is a set of laws that govern commercial transactions in the United States. Article 2A specifically deals with leases of goods, including automobiles. This article provides regulations and guidelines for both lessors (automobile dealers) and lessees (individuals leasing the automobile). It establishes rights, duties, and remedies for both parties involved in the lease agreement. Therefore, Article 2A of the UCC is the appropriate law that applies to the leasing contract in this scenario.

The correct answer is "Demand" because according to UCC Section 3-108(a), an instrument that is "payable on demand" is one that either explicitly states that it is payable immediately or at the discretion of the holder, or does not specify any specific time of payment. This means that the instrument can be demanded for payment by the holder whenever they choose.

Under the UCC, the seller can presume acceptance if the buyer fails to reject the goods within a reasonable time. This means that if the buyer does not explicitly reject the goods or communicate their dissatisfaction within a reasonable timeframe, the seller can assume that the buyer has accepted the goods.

The correct answer is "Goods". According to UCC Section 2-105, goods are defined as tangible things that are movable at the time of identification to the contract for sale. This means that goods refer to physical items that can be bought or sold, such as products, merchandise, or any other tangible objects. Services, on the other hand, are not considered goods as they are intangible and cannot be physically moved or possessed. Fixtures are also not considered goods as they are items that are permanently attached to real property and are not easily movable.

Sam and Beth have created an output contract. An output contract is a type of agreement where one party agrees to sell all the goods they produce to the other party. In this case, Sam is offering to sell all of the chocolate nut brownies he makes to Beth for her specialty foods store. This type of contract is commonly used when the buyer needs a specific product and the seller is the only source for that product. It ensures a steady supply for the buyer and guarantees a market for the seller's output.

Course of performance refers to the history of dealings between the parties involved in the present contract. It involves looking at how the parties have performed under similar contracts in the past to determine their intentions and expectations in the current contract. By examining the course of performance, the parties can establish a pattern of behavior and understand how certain terms and conditions have been interpreted and applied in previous contracts. This can help guide their actions and decisions in the present contract.

A substitute for cash, or a negotiable instrument, is a written document containing the signature of the creator that makes an unconditional promise or order to pay a sum certain at either a time certain or on demand. This means that a negotiable instrument can be used as a form of payment and can be transferred from one person to another. It is a legally binding document that guarantees payment to the holder of the instrument.

The requirement for negotiability is that the instrument is in writing, has an unconditional promise or order to pay, and is signed by the creator of the instrument. The fact that the instrument is executed by a merchant is not a requirement for negotiability.

This contract will be covered by Article 2 of the UCC because Article 2 specifically deals with the sale of goods. In this case, Smith is selling copper, which is considered a good under the UCC. Therefore, the rules and regulations outlined in Article 2 would apply to this contract.

Usage of trade is a term defined by the UCC (Uniform Commercial Code) that refers to any practice that members of an industry expect to be part of their dealings. It represents the common and accepted practices within a specific industry or trade. This includes customary practices, understandings, and methods of dealing that have developed over time and are considered standard within that particular business community. Usage of trade helps to provide consistency and predictability in commercial transactions, allowing parties to rely on established norms and expectations when conducting business.

Under the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), sellers and lessors are obligated to transfer and deliver conforming goods. This means that the goods must meet the agreed-upon specifications, be of the quality expected by the buyer or lessee, and be in the condition required for their intended use. The UCC ensures that sellers and lessors cannot deliver goods that do not meet these requirements, providing protection to buyers and lessees in commercial transactions.

Under the UCC, a contract involving specifically manufactured goods is an exception to the statute of frauds writing requirement. This means that a written contract is not required for these types of goods to be enforceable. Specifically manufactured goods are goods that are made specifically for the buyer and are not suitable for sale to others. This exception exists because these goods are unique and have no market value to anyone other than the buyer. Therefore, the UCC allows oral contracts for specifically manufactured goods to be legally binding.

A negotiable instrument that indicates no specific name of the payee is known as a bearer instrument. This means that the instrument is payable to whoever possesses it, rather than a specific individual or entity. Bearer instruments can be transferred by delivery, making them more flexible and easily negotiable.

The requirement for negotiability under the UCC does not include the amount to be paid including a fixed rate of interest. The other requirements for negotiability include the amount to be paid being a sum certain in money, payment being made either on demand or at a fixed future time, and the document containing the words of negotiability "to the order of" or words indicating that it is a bearer instrument.

Open terms in a contract refer to missing or incomplete terms that have not been agreed upon by the parties involved. Under the UCC (Uniform Commercial Code), a contract can still be valid even if there are open terms as long as the parties intended to form a contract and there is a reasonable basis for a court to find a remedy. This means that if the parties have shown an intention to enter into a contract and there is enough information available for a court to determine an appropriate remedy, the contract will be considered valid despite the presence of open terms.

A casual seller is not an indication of "merchant" status because a casual seller does not typically engage in the regular buying and selling of goods. Merchants, on the other hand, are individuals or businesses that are involved in the regular trade of goods and have knowledge and skills unique to the practices or goods involved in the transaction. Therefore, a casual seller does not meet the criteria of being a merchant.

Payment on demand instruments can be made only when the holder of the instrument requests it. This means that the payment can be demanded at any time by the holder, without any specific future time mentioned in the document. According to UCC Section 3-108(b), the specific future time for payment must be easily determined from the document itself, which is not the case for demand instruments. Therefore, demand is the correct answer.

Under the UCC (Uniform Commercial Code), the mirror image rule states that the acceptance of an offer must be a mirror image of the offer itself. In this case, Brian's acceptance includes a condition (throwing in the coffee table) which is not a mirror image of Sue's offer. Therefore, according to the mirror image rule, there is no valid acceptance and thus no contract between Sue and Brian.

The correct answer is Cashier's checks. Cashier's checks are actually a type of check that is issued by a bank and guaranteed by the bank. Therefore, they should not be included in the list of types of checks under the UCC. The other options listed (Traveler's checks, Certified checks, and Promissory checks) are all valid types of checks that are recognized under the UCC.

Negotiable instruments are financial documents that guarantee payment to the holder. In order to be considered negotiable, these instruments must order or promise payment in a specific form. In this case, the correct answer is "U.S. dollars only" because negotiable instruments must specify that payment will be made in U.S. dollars and not any other currency or form of payment.
