Unreferenced date June 2007 Firm services , also called uninterruptible services , are services, such as electricity and natural gas supplies, that are intended to be available at all times during a period covered by an agreement. Also, the service is not subject to a prior claim from another customer and receives the same priority as any other firm service. Conditional firm service is similar to firm service in that it is reserved and has priority over interruptible service. However, it can have restrictions, such as times when it would be curtailed before firm service but after interruptible service. The cost per unit with this service is called a firm rate or uninterruptible rate . The opposite of firm service is non firm service , also called interruptible service or as available service . The cost per unit for this service is called a non firm rate or interruptible rate . The interruptible load is the portion of a utility s load that comes from customers with interruptible service. Firm service cannot be interrupted during adverse conditions, such as periods of high demand. However, firm service may also refer to service that is covered by a long term contract , such as a year or more. There are extreme cases when firm services may be interrupted, such as emergencies and when system reliability is threatened. Services to homes and small businesses are usually firm. Some businesses that cannot afford interruptions also have firm service. Businesses that can afford to have services interrupted or that can significantly reduce their consumption when notified by the provider can get better rates by having non firm service. Customers that have non firm service may have a low level or baseline firm service that is guaranteed so that they do not have to shut down completely. Firm and non firm service is also available for companies that rent or lease pipeline transport pipeline or electrical transmission capacity.

Wikify date July 2010 Contract law A firm offer means an irrevocable offers made by a merchant. As a general rule, all offers are revocable at any time prior to acceptance, even those offers that purport to be irrevocable on their face. An exception to this general rule exists under the Merchants Firm Offer Rule ref http www.law.cornell.edu ucc 2 article2.htm s2 205 Uniform Commercial Code 2 205. Firm Offers , Cornell University Law School, Legal Information Institute ref A firm offer in effect creates an option contract without requiring any consideration from the prospective buyer. Because the firm offer holds the seller to a higher standard than the potential buyer, it reflects a change from traditional common law , which treated all parties to a contract the same way, to a more modern view that holds certain parties to a higher standard of behavior. UCC 2 205 Firm Offers An offer A by a merchant to buy or sell goods B in a signed record that by its terms gives assurance that it will be held open is not revocable for lack of consideration, during the time stated or if no time is stated for a reasonable time, but in no event may such period of irrevocability exceed three months Any such term of assurance in a form supplied by the offeree must be separately signed by the offeror. Note That when the period of irrevocability expires, the offer may still remain open until revoked or rejected according to the general rules regarding termination of an offer. There are two versions of the UCC firm offer rule in effect. The old UCC 2 205 states that an offer is firm and irrevocable if it is an offer to buy or sell goods it is made by a merchant it is a signed writing The new UCC 2 205 does away with the signed writing requirement. Instead, it requires an authenticated record.

The Nature of the Firm 1937 4 16 Economica 386 405, is an influential article by Ronald Coase . It offered an economic explanation of why individuals choose to form partnerships, companies and other business entities rather than trading bilaterally through contract s on a market. Summary Given that production could be carried on without any organization that is, firms at all , Coase asks, why and under what conditions should we expect firms to emerge? Since modern firms can only emerge when an entrepreneur of some sort begins to hire people, Coase s analysis proceeds by considering the conditions under which it makes sense for an entrepreneur to seek hired help instead of contracting out for some particular task. The traditional economic theory of the time suggested that, because the market is efficient that is, those who are best at providing each good or service most cheaply are already doing so , it should always be cheaper to contract out than to hire. Coase noted, however, that there are a number of transaction cost s to using the market the cost of obtaining a good or service via the market is actually more than just the price of the good. Other costs, including search and information costs, bargaining costs, keeping trade secret s, and policing and enforcement costs, can all ... of the firm. Coase argues that the size of a firm as measured by how many contractual relations are internal to the firm and how many external is a result of finding an optimal balance between the competing tendencies of the costs outlined above. In general, making the firm larger will initially be advantageous, but the decreasing returns indicated above will eventually kick in, preventing the firm from growing indefinitely. Other things being equal, a firm will tend to be larger the less the costs ...
