,Q1. A multinational corporation sends a detailed offer to purchase 10,000
custom-made widgets to a supplier. The supplier responds with a signed
acknowledgment that includes an additional term: 'All disputes shall be resolved by
arbitration in Geneva.' The original offer did not mention arbitration. Under UCC §
2-207, what is the legal effect of the supplier's additional term?
A. The additional term is automatically incorporated into the contract unless the offeror
objects within a reasonable time.
B. The additional term is treated as a proposal for addition to the contract and becomes
part of the contract if it does not materially alter the contract.
C. The additional term is rejected, and the entire acknowledgment is considered a
counteroffer.
D. The additional term is considered a material alteration and is excluded from the
contract, but the contract is formed on the offeror's terms.
Correct Answer: D. The additional term is considered a material alteration and is
excluded from the contract, but the contract is formed on the offeror's terms.
Rationale: Under UCC § 2-207, between merchants, additional terms become part of the
contract unless they materially alter it. Arbitration clauses are generally considered
material alterations. Therefore, the term is excluded, and the contract is formed on the
offeror's terms.
Why Wrong:
A - Automatic incorporation occurs only if the term is not material; arbitration is
material, so this is incorrect.
B - This is the general rule for non-material terms, but arbitration is material, so it
does not apply.
C - The acknowledgment is not a counteroffer; it is an acceptance with additional
terms under § 2-207.

Q2. A homeowner enters into a contract with a contractor to renovate a kitchen for
$50,000. After the contractor completes 80% of the work, the homeowner, without
legal justification, tells the contractor to stop and refuses to pay. The contractor has
already spent $35,000 in labor and materials. The contract price for the remaining
20% of the work is $10,000. What is the contractor's likely recovery in a breach of
contract action?
A. Expectation damages of $50,000, the full contract price.
B. Reliance damages of $35,000, the costs already incurred.
C. Quantum meruit recovery of $40,000, the reasonable value of the work completed.
D. Expectation damages of $40,000, the contract price minus the cost of completion.
Correct Answer: D. Expectation damages of $40,000, the contract price minus the
Page 3
, cost of completion.
Rationale: The contractor is entitled to expectation damages, which give the benefit of the
bargain: the contract price ($50,000) minus the costs saved by not having to complete the
remaining work ($10,000), resulting in $40,000. This puts the contractor in the position
they would have been in had the contract been performed.
Why Wrong:
A - The contractor has not earned the full price because they did not complete the
contract; damages are measured by the loss of the bargain, not the total price.
B - Reliance damages are an alternative but are generally lower than expectation
damages when expectation can be proved.
C - Quantum meruit is an equitable remedy for unjust enrichment, but expectation
damages are the standard contractual remedy.

Ed., Ch. 12
Q3. A seller of rare coins and a buyer negotiate a sale of a coin collection. The seller
sends a signed writing that states: 'I offer to sell my collection for $10,000. This offer
is irrevocable for 30 days.' The buyer pays $1,000 to the seller to keep the offer open.
Five days later, the seller revokes the offer. Under the common law, which of the
following is most accurate?
A. The offer is revocable because the option is not supported by consideration.
B. The offer is irrevocable because the buyer paid consideration for the option.
C. The offer is revocable because the seller's promise to keep it open is a unilateral
offer.
D. The offer is irrevocable under the UCC firm offer rule because the seller is a
merchant.
Correct Answer: B. The offer is irrevocable because the buyer paid consideration for
the option.
Rationale: The buyer's payment of $1,000 constitutes consideration for the seller's
promise to keep the offer open, forming an option contract. Under the common law, an
option contract with consideration is irrevocable.
Why Wrong:
A - The consideration is present, so the option is enforceable.
C - The nature of the offer (unilateral or bilateral) does not affect revocability when
consideration is given.
D - The UCC firm offer rule applies only to sale of goods and requires a signed
writing by a merchant; here, the common law option contract is the basis.
