Week 4 learning
activity
Learning Activity # 1
A orally offered to sell B 100 premium-grade blue ink
ballpoint pens, but neglected to state the price. B accepted via letter. A received the acceptance letter, but
immediately thereafter, A tried to get out of the deal. Assume that A and B are both merchants, as
defined under the UCC.
At this point what is true about this agreement between A
and B? Explain your rationale in detail.
Learning Activity # 2
A ordered 100 19-inch color TV sets from B, and requested
prompt shipment of the goods. B promptly
shipped to A 100 21-inch color TV sets.
Prior to shipment, B did not notify A that he was shipping nonconforming
TVs as an accommodation.
Assuming both A and B are merchants, under UCC rules,
discuss (1) whether there is a valid, enforceable contract between A and B and
why, and (2) the options A and B have at this point.
