Reference - Alien Babies

question 14

Multiple Choice

Reference - Alien babies. Toymaker Alice came out with a doll that looked like a baby alien. Alice initially had trouble selling the doll to retailers even after offering retailers a contract by which they could buy all the dolls they needed for $10. Slick Eddie, however, who had a retail toy store, signed the agreement whereby he could buy all the dolls he needed for $10. Slick Eddie had a toy store but did very little business because he was so sleazy. Parents wanted to keep kids out. After a few months, the baby alien doll was a surprise hit and every child wanted one. Slick Eddie, however, did not see much demand in his store because, regardless of whether he had alien baby dolls or not, parents disliked him. When demand grew, Alice raised to $40 per doll the price charged to retailers who had not signed a contract to purchase all the dolls they needed for $10. Slick Eddie decided to purchase alien dolls for $10 from Alice and then resell them for $35 to a retailer, Ben, who did not have a contract with Alice to purchase the dolls for $10. His contract with Ben required that he also gift wrap the dolls and that he would provide Ben with all the gift-wrapped dolls he could produce. Eddie then ordered 10,000 alien baby dolls from Alice. When Alice figured out what was happening, sales of alien baby dolls to Slick Eddie were stopped. Will Alice be required to honor Slick Eddie's order for 10,000 alien baby dolls?

• A) Yes, because Alice should have known better than to enter into the contract with Slick Eddie.
• B) Yes, because it did not object to the contract with Slick Eddie within 5 days of the time it was entered into.
• C) Yes, because it did not object to the contract with Slick Eddie within 10 days of the time it was entered into.
• D) Yes, because she had a valid contract with Slick Eddie.
• E) Probably not because it appears that Slick Eddie failed to act in good faith.
