Question $13$

$2$ pts

Sunshine Caters sends a proposal $($offer$)$ to cater a wedding dinner for $$\frac{62}{?}$ person with a minimum of $200$ persons attending the reception. Mary receives the proposal on March $1,$ signs the agreement $($accepts the offer$)$ and mails it back to Sunshine Caters on March $2.$ The letter is received by Sunshine Caters on March $4.$

On March $2$ Sunshine Caters changed its mind about the $$62/$person price and resent a new proposal to Mary that stated it would need $$70/$person and a minimum of $225$ persons. Mary received the new proposal on March $4.$

A binding contract exists for $$62/$person$,200$ person minimum.

Since Mary accepted the $$62/$person price, she is deemed to have accepted the $$70/$person price unless she objects to that new price within a reasonable time.

The offer to do the catering for $$62/$person was revoked the moment the caterer sent out the new contract proposal.

Since the new proposal and the old proposal crossed in the mail, Mary and Sunshine Caterers need to renegotiate terms.
