Amazon Ltd is a UK based shipping firm with a large international clientele. Biscayne Co, an Irish lumber firm, which plans to ship an order of timber to Japan, calls Amazon to inform about their prices. Amazon replies that, for a shipment of timber to the Far East, the average price would be £95 per pound. After an hour of negotiations, Amazon says it is willing to reduce its price to £91 per pound for the large quantity Biscayne is planning to have shipped. An offer is immediately drawn up by an employee of Amazon. Accidentally, he uses a form normally used for international shipments in which all prices are quoted per kilogram. When Biscayne receives the offer for £91 per kilogram, they immediately accept, this being almost half the price Amazon stated on the phone. Has a contract been concluded and, if so, for which price?
A) Yes, for £91 per kilogram.
B) Yes, for £91 per pound.
C) Yes, for £95 per pound.
D) No, a contract has not been concluded.
