B) When an agent, without the authority of his principal, has entered a contract for three computers and two printers, and the principal wants the computers but not the printers, he can ratify part of the contract.
C) The only limitation on a principal's right to ratify is the power of the third party to set a time limit within which that ratification must take place.
D) Irving has been given authority to contract for the purchase of 1000 jade tiles at up to $18 a piece. Instead, he buys from Cassiar Jade Co. 1200 jade tiles at $18.25 a piece.
