Although Lulene took a class in business law, she forgot to get her agreement with Ellen in writing. Lulene and Ellen agreed during a chat. Lulene said: "I will supply you with lemon meringue pies for however long you want them at $5.00 per pie." Ellen said: "That's great, I'll take them." Both women were pleased.
Soon Lulene had a problem. Between a hurricane in Florida and brush fires in California, the price of lemons increased by 200%. Now, instead of the $5.00 per pie price she intended to charge Ellen, she feels she must charge $7.00 per pie to make a little profit.
