Frida Riggs · Answer 1

Answer: D. to solicit orders and get ratification and acceptance from his or her employer.

Explanation: A salesperson is described as one whose job is to sell things, either in a shop/store or anywhere else. The legal authority of a salesperson normally is to solicit orders and get ratification and acceptance from his or her employer. The nature and extent of legal authority given to salespersons would depend on the type of product to be sold, as well as on the nature of the employer they represent but with the aim of assisting rather than hindering sales.

Courtney · Answer 2

to solicit orders and get ratification and acceptance from his or her employer.

Explanation:

Legal authority is defined as the a provision of the law that carries the force of the law including statutes, rules, regulations, and court rulings.

So the legal authority of a person in a particular capacity is what he is legally allowed to do in a given transaction.

In this instance we are considering a salesperson. The legal authority of a salesperson is to solicit orders and get ratification and acceptance from his or her employer.
