Gordon was hired to add CD-ROM capacity to Hank Lo's computer. Gordon was instructed to buy (1) a sound card, (2) speakers, and (3) a CD-ROM drive at ROMready, a firm with which Hank had credit. Hank visited the company and said Gordon had authority to act as his agent for the purpose of buying "computer components." While working on the computer, Gordon decided that Hank needed a new and better-designed mouse and a better printer. Gordon went to ROMready and purchased the mouse as an agent of Hank. Not satisfied with printers available at ROMready, he went to Printerhaven Ltd. and bought a printer "as agent for Hank Lo." On these facts, which of the following is true?
A) When Gordon bought the mouse from ROMready, he exceeded his express authority, but Hank would have to pay for it anyway.
B) If Hank refused to pay for the printer, Printerhaven Ltd. could sue Gordon for breach of contract; Gordon has bought himself a printer and has to pay for it.
C) When Gordon bought the printer from Printerhaven Ltd., Gordon exceeded his express authority, but Hank would have to pay for it anyway.
D) If Gordon exceeds his authority, Hank would sue him for "breach of warranty of authority."
E) In determining whether or not Gordon could bind Hank in a contract, the law poses this question: Did the acts and words of Gordon lead the company to think that Gordon was an agent for Hank?
