Q. Ace Calculators (AC) is a manufacturer. It entered into a contract with a retailer, Reliable Calculator (RC) for the sale of 100 new XYZ model calculators at $1000 each, for delivery in 6 months. AC would make a profit on this transaction of $50,000. Six months later explain however the XYZ model has become almost obsolete; its market price is only $100 at which time. RC refuses to accept or pay for those calculators. If AC sues, explain how much will it be entitled to in damages? (Ignore any incidental expenses or cost savings to AC.)

A) Nothing; when the XYZ model became almost obsolete, this excused RC from the contract

B) $50,000, the profit AC would have made had RC not breached the contract

C) $90,000, the difference between market price and contract price

D) $140,000, the lost profit plus the difference between market price and contract price
