Elle Appliances has recently released its "Elite" cooking range. The cooking appliances were advertised extensively with offers for early-bird buyers and assured refunds if the goods were found defective. This resulted in a lot of hype surrounding the goods and high levels of projected demand in the market. However, after its release in the market, the products failed to substantially add to the company's profits. When the venture failed to recover even the minimum projected returns, the marketing manager blamed the production department for the delays in production, while the production manager claimed that he was doing his best to dispatch stock on the predetermined days. Which of the following best explains the failure of this venture by Elle? A) The company priced the "Elite" cooking range at relatively low rates. B) The company minimized its operating costs by using efficient production techniques. C) The company followed a low inventory system. D) Elle was a reputed company which enjoyed the loyalty of customers. E) Elle had recently acquired one of its major rival firms.

Judy owns an apartment building, and Juan expresses interest in renting from her. Over the phone on Tuesday, the two agree in principle to a lease and all of its material terms. Juan tells Judy that he will stop by her office on Thursday morning to sign the lease so that he can move into the apartment that afternoon. Given the short timeline, Judy scrambles on Wednesday to prepare the apartment for Juan's coming arrival. She hires a cleaning crew on short notice and also has a painter clean and repaint the walls. On Thursday morning, though, Juan does not come to Judy's office and instead calls to say that he is no longer interested in the apartment. Judy—out several hundred dollars from cleaning the place—is upset and wants to collect those costs from Juan. Can she? a. Yes, because the terms of the lease govern, and it almost certainly covered the apartment cleaning. b. Yes. This is a case for reliance damages; Judy had the apartment cleaned in reasonable reliance on Juan's promise to lease it. c. No, because there was no contract between Juan and Judy. d. No, because Judy's cleaning of the apartment was not a reasonable expenditure.
Third-Party Woes. Trudy owed Sam $40 for a book she purchased from him. Trudy mowed Betty's yard for $40 and agreed with Betty that Betty would pay Sam for the book. Sam is not initially aware of the agreement. Betty pays no one. Trudy also mowed Bob's yard for $40 in return for Bob's agreement to give the payment to Sally, representing Trudy's birthday present to Sally. Bob later refuses to do so, saying that promises to give gifts are not enforceable. He then moves out of town. Trudy tells both Sam and Sally that she is broke, that Sam needs to get his $40 for the book from Betty, and that Sally is owed $40 from Bob for her birthday present. Which of the following is the likely result if Sam sues Betty for the $40 that Trudy owes him for the book? A. Sam will win. B. Sam will lose because his only right of action is against Trudy. C. Sam will lose because he was not aware of the assignment before the duties were completed. D. Sam will win, but only if he can prove that Trudy has insufficient funds with which to pay him. E. Sam will lose because the attempted delegation was against public policy.
