Question 83

Essay

Mary runs a clothing store near a college campus.In the winter,Mary was preparing to order some T-shirts and shorts for the upcoming summer.She prepared an order on her stationery for "1,000 T-shirts of assorted sizes; S,M,L,and XL; 800 in royal blue,the other 200 in assorted colors." For the shorts her order read,"1,000 pairs of shorts,assorted sizes; approximately equal quantities of white,black,khaki,and olive." She sent the order to the clothing maker and about a week later received an order confirmation on their sales order form.She glanced at it and the wording for her order was the exact same as she had sent in.When she received the merchandise a month later,there were only 150 royal blue shirts,and the others were various assorted colors.There were only 50 pairs of white shorts,with the other 950 approximately equal quantities of the other three colors.Mary looked back at the sales order and noticed a provision in the fine print that the clothing maker could substitute different colors for what was ordered.Mary claims that the clothing maker has breached the agreement.The different colors shouldn't affect the sales of the shorts,but she ordered the royal blue shirts because that is the local university's predominant school color.Discuss Mary's situation.
