Eric and Susan just purchased their first home, which cost $140,000. They purchased a homeowner’s policy to insure the home for $130,000 and personal property for $80,000. They declined any coverage for additional living expenses. The deductible for the policy is $500.

The restaurant closes at 11:00 p.m. Two patrons came in at 10:30 p.m. and stayed until 12:00 a.m. Carl was their waiter and gave excellent customer service. The patrons left a $5.00 tip for Carl on a $200.00 bill and left a note saying, “Go back to school if you want more money.” Carl was so upset that he went home and posted on Facebook about how cheap, stinky, and ugly the patrons were. Carl mentioned the restaurant's name in his post. Carl had only 20 Facebook friends, and his privacy settings only allowed friends to see his posts.

He asked the salesperson, Rodny, if the Laptop had ever been damaged. Rodny (the salesperson) had never seen the Laptop before that morning and knew nothing of its history but quickly answered Ben’s question by stating: ‘No. It has never been damaged’. In fact, the Laptop had been seriously damaged previously and, although repaired and bought during the sales, it was worth much less than the value Ben had paid. When Ben learned the truth, he wanted to return the Laptop. Smart store replied that he cannot do that because they have a legally binding agreement and as per the agreement the items purchased during the sales cannot be returned. Questions: A) Does the behavior of the salesperson, Rodny, constitute deception? If it constitutes deception please precise which type of deception and explain in detail all the elements of the type of deception selected. B) Decide, based on the analysis made under…arrow_forward
- “I think I’m in trouble,” Elvira confided to her husband, Curtis. “I had a customer in today who complained that one of my clerks had discriminated against her and that she was going to sue. I discovered that this same clerk had designed an elaborate scheme to embezzle from me and I intend to press criminal charges. Also, my landlord has stating that the remodeling I did voids my rental agreement and he wants me to vacate in 2 months. I looked at the contract and I’m 99% sure he’s wrong, but I’m no lawyer. I need some legal help!”arrow_forwardSteve was helping to renovate his friend Ben’s home. Ben realized he needed some pipe to complete a plumbing installation, but didn’t have any cash on him, so Steve gave him $5.00. In consideration of that, Ben said that he would share his $10.00 Super Lotto ticket with Steve, should he win. Ben then took the $5.00, bought the pipe, and Steve installed it. Later that month, Ben was declared the winner of the lottery draw, in the amount of $1,000,000. He tried to hide the fact that he had won, denying to Steve that he was the winner. He later told him that he had only won $50,000, and in any case, that the winner was one of five tickets he had purchased after the one he said he’d split with Steve. Does Steve have an enforceable contract with Ben, such that he’s entitled to half of the $1,000,000? What do you think his chances are if he tries to sue Ben to enforce the contract? Would they be better or worse if Ben hadn’t denied winning in the first place?arrow_forwardBob offered to sell Teresa his used motorcycle.
