Dondi's measure of damages is the difference between the contract price and the cost of cover, which in this case is $1,000. Additionally, Dondi may be entitled to incidental damages such as the cost of finding a substitute product, as long as they are reasonable and foreseeable. Therefore, the best choice is B, which includes both the $1,000 difference in price and the possibility of incidental damages.
