题目

On Nov.20th,Lee Co.offered to sell goods to Dee Inc.at USD500 per case CIF London,“offer valid if reply here 11/27”.On Nov.22nd Dee cabled back,“offer accepted if USD480 per case.” As Lee was considering the bid,the market price went over USD500.00 On Nov.25th,Dee cabled an unconditional acceptance of Lee’s initial offer.Could Lee reject Dee’s acceptance?Why?最好是中英文回答

答案

Lee不能拒绝Dee接受报价.因为之间在Lee给Dee的报价中提到“11月27日前答复,该报价有效.” 无论市场价格如果变化,只要Dee在11月27日前答复接受或是拒绝CIF伦敦每箱500美元都是合理的.
Lee couldn't reject Dee's acceptance.Because Lee offer the sell good to Dee with the promise that"offer valid if reply here 11/27",so any reply concerning USD500 per case CIF London from Dee is reasonable before 11/27,no matter whether the market price go over or down.
