Question

A business owner wants to buy 100 phones and sees an advertisement in the newspaper that says “2 for the price of 1 up to a maximum of 20 phones.” The business owner calls the phone vendor and says I’ll take 100 of your phones at 2 for the price of 1. The phone vendor shipped 100 phones and only charged the business owner for 50 of them.

Is the business owner’s language “I’ll take 100 of….” a valid offer?

Answer 1

Ans-

To buy 100 phones

Advertised price- 2 for the price of 1 up to a maximum of 20 phones

Negotiated price- 2 for the price of 1 up to a maximum of 100 phones

It means cost of 2 phones will be the price of 1 if order quantity is up to 100

So, if a business owner/trader wants to buy 2 phones he only needs pay the price of 1

And if he needs to buy 100 pieces of mobile then he only needs to pay for 50 mobiles

Is the business owner’s language “I’ll take 100 of….” a valid offer?

Solution – It is valid offer only for purchase of 20 quantity of mobile phone, but business owner later on negotiated this offer for 100 quantity of phone. So, it means it’s a valid offer negotiated for 100 quantity of mobile phones
