Contract says that S is to deliver a widget to B at p = $130. Assume that B promises to pay S the contract price $130 (not paid in advance). Assume that if the contract is not completed, reliance expenditure has no value. Note: I will clarify the timing of the model again. Initially, B and S sign the contract. S chooses reliance e.

She approached her sister Gemma and her friend Molly, as she knew that they were both interested in purchasing paintings for their business premises. Gemma ordered 2 paintings for her café at a total cost of £800. Molly ordered 5 paintings for her new office, which she wanted to look impressive when welcoming new clients, at a total cost of £1,000. Several months passed while Carol worked on the paintings. The final painting for Molly took slightly longer than expected, it was eventually delivered one month later than the initial date agreed.
