Question 24 of 25 | 4.0 Points |
Security Stove hired American Express to deliver a new stove to a trade show. American Express failed to deliver a crucial part, the part that was the innovation that made the stove worth showing. We can begin by figuring out Security Stove's expectation damages. If American Express had delivered the stove, Security Stove would have been able to show the stove and as a result would have made some sales in the future (they were not trying to make any sales at the show), and Security Stove would have had to pay the expenses involved in going to the show. As a result of the breach, Security Stove made no sales from the show, but had all the same expenses. Assume the company properly mitigated. Under the expectation rule, Security Stove is entitled to enough money to put them in as good a position as they would have been in had American Express delivered the stove. Reset Selection |
