Evan owns a business that produces various forms of marketing and promotional materials. Andrea entered into a contract with him. He was required to design a web site for her business by June 1 and she was required to pay $100 000 on July 1.

Consequently, by June 1, he had printed 10 000 copies of a glossy magazine for another customer, but he had not even started work on Andrea's web site.

• B) Andrea is entitled to discharge the contract because Evan committed a breach of a contractual condition that substantially deprived her of the expected benefit of the contract.
• C) Evan is entitled to discharge the contract because Andrea committed a breach of a contractual warranty that substantially deprived him of the expected benefit of the contract.
• D) Because Evan has not performed and because Andrea no longer wants his performance, the contract was been discharged by frustration.
