Reference - Carpet Woes. Beau went shopping at ABC Carpet. He saw some carpet he liked but could not make up his mind. The manager at ABC Carpet wrote down the proposed purchase price for him along with a statement that the price would be good for three months. Two months later Beau went back to ABC Carpet to purchase the carpet. Unfortunately, the price had gone up. Beau showed the manager his writing and guaranteed price, but the manager said that the offer was no longer good. Although he had to pay more than the ABC manager had initially promised, Beau proceeded to purchase his carpet from ABC Carpet, and he also contracted with ABC to do the installation. Unfortunately, Beau almost immediately started to have problems with the carpet. Beau told the sales manager of ABC Carpet that he was planning on bringing suit for breach of warranty. The sales manager, however, told him that the breach of warranty provisions only applied to sales of goods and that the carpet purchase was for installation, a service. Which of the following is true regarding whether the UCC applies to the contract Beau had with ABC Carpet?
A) Common law will be applied, not the UCC, because the contract was mixed.
B) The UCC will be applied, not common law because the contract was mixed.
C) The court will determine whether the predominant purpose of the contract was the sale of goods in which case the UCC would apply.
D) The court will apply the service-warranty test to determine whether the predominant purpose of the contract was the provision of a service in which case the UCC would apply.
E) The court will apply the service-warranty test to determine whether the predominant purpose of the contract was the sale of goods in which case the UCC would apply.
