Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Since the kayak was still in the possession of the store, the loss is suffered by Lake Craft, as they are responsible for keeping the goods safe until the customer picks it up. The unforeseen tornado is considered a natural disaster and the government agency is not responsible for it. The maker of the kayak has already received payment for the good and is not responsible for any loss that occurs after it is sold to the store. Jill may be disappointed, but she is not financially responsible for the loss.
