Questions

Asim Plumbers аgrees tо purchаse аll оf its sump pump requirements frоm Sumner Sump Pump, Inc. These two businesses have had similar agreements the last three years, and Asim's requirements have averaged 100 sump pumps per year. This year there was an unusually wet spring and Asim's requirements doubled to 200 sump pumps. Because of the high demand for sump pumps, the market price of the pumps triples. Sumner Sump Pump, Inc., delivers 100 pumps at $75 (the contract price). Sumner has exhausted its inventory and cannot deliver anymore, so Asim buys the other 100 pumps from other suppliers at $225 each. Asim sues Sumner Sump Pump, Inc., for the additional expense. What is the most likely result?
