What is repudiation of contract?

Revocation of a contract means that the offeror takes back his offer, and the offeree can no longer accept the offer. For a contract to be valid, there needs to be a bargained for exchange, and mutual manifestation of assent. Consider this fact pattern:

On Monday, Alan says to Bob, I will sell you my car for $10,000.

On Tuesday, Bob says to Alan, I will think about it.

On Wednesday, Alan says to Bob, I will not sell you my car.

As of Wednesday, the offer has officially been revoked. On Thursday, Bob can no longer accept the offer because it is no longer available.

This is contract law. If you have any further questions, the best place to turn would be a document called the Second Restatement of Contracts.

What is an IOU and what does it need to make it binding?

i believe it is a promise to pay someone for something/anythings between 2 or more people. To make it binding in some courts the verbal agreement with the intent to repay/replace whatever is being borrowed is good enough, but i would want it in writing if it was something very important to me i was lending. once its in writing its considered a contract. you can write a contract/iou/promise to pay on a cocktail napkin, a piece of a paper bag etc. As long as the signature of the person promising to pay back signs and dates it and a brief discription of the terms of the iou should be included also. U must be able to use the document to prove in court the person showed intent to repay/replace by giving you said document.

How are the balances of progress billings and construction in progress shown at reporting dates prior to the completion for a long term contract?

Construction in Progress (C-in-P) is an inventory account and Progress Billings is a contra account that relates to it. When a contractor incurrs costs from the process of construction it debits it to C-in-P. Here's an example transaction is as follows: C-in-P 10,000

Cash, A/P, etc. 10,000 Depending on whether the contractor is accounting via the completed contract method or percentage of completion method determines the ultimate balance of C-in-P. If percentage of completion method is used then the Gross Profit that results from the yearly recognition of revenue is debited to C-in-P as a sort of value added until the contract's completion. Progress Billings is credited every time an invoice is sent to the customer in request for funds. An example transation is as follows: A/R 15,000

Progress Billings 15,000 At the end of the contract Progress Billings should equal the amount to be collected from the customer. C-in-P and Progress Billings will appear on the Balance Sheet as follows: C-in-P 30,000

Progress Billings <25,000>

Progress in Excess of Billings 5,000 If the current balance of C-in-P is larger than the current balance in Progress Billings it will appear as an asset. If reversed it will appear as a liability because the customer will have greaty equity in the project than the contractor.

What does the phrase A period not to exceed three years mean?

That means the event or condition can take place or be satisfied within three years, but must not, or will not continue beyond three years.

For instance, you are required by a court to make total restitution for damage to your neighbors property within "a period not to exceed three years". This means you will have to pay the entire judgment within a three year term, or suffer other legal remedies...perhaps a jail term.

Another example is that you might be sentenced to prison for a crime that allows a judge to decide the length of the sentence...for instance "a term of not less than six months, but not to exceed three years", which means the judge, on conviction, must sentence you to at least six months, but cannot sentence you to more than three years.

If both parties are agreeable, a contract can be canceled. It cannot be canceled by one side if it would result in damages to the other side. The contract is between the two parties. As long as it is not for something illegal, they can adjust the terms as they wish. If this is in regards to the sale of real property or unique goods, chances are pretty low that you can get out of it. As always, talk with a Texas lawyer to determine what your options are.

What is the legal effect of Know all men by these presents?

In modern law that phrase has no legal effect. It is often used as the opening clause in a deed but there would be no consequence if it was omitted.

"Know all men by these presents" is ancient common law language that was used to announce the information presented on a legal document. It was the means of announcing the transaction to the public so that it would be effective against any challenger. Of course, it comes from a time when only men were recognized in any legal affairs and women had no part nor place in the legal dealings of the men in their lives.
