Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If the seller is in the process of manufacturing the goods,she has two choices.She may complete manufacture of the goods,or she may stop manufacturing and sell the uncompleted goods for their scrap or salvage value.In choosing between these alternatives,the seller should select the alternative that will minimize the loss [2-704(2)].Thus,a seller would be justified in completing the manufacture of goods that could be resold readily at the contract price.However,a seller would not be justified in completing specially manufactured goods that could not be sold to anyone other than the buyer who ordered them.The purpose of this rule is to permit the seller to follow a reasonable course of action to mitigate (minimize)the damages.
