Case Study Facts

Sam and John are best friends in their senior year of high school. Sam is 18 and John is 17. They decide that they should operate a lawn care service for the summer in order to help pay their college tuition costs.

Sam and John send outflyersto all the people in their neighborhood offering to cut their grass for $20 a week. Immediately, the Smiths call Sam to set up a service. Sam draws up a contract to complete the mowing at the Smiths' house once a week through September 15. Sam and the Smiths then both sign the contract. TheJohnsonsalso see the advantages of a lawn service, and John and theJohnsonssign the same contract that Sam had drafted for the Smiths.As the lawn service business is taking off, John purchases a new lawn mower on credit from Mower Supply, Inc., in May.

Sam and John work really hard at their new business and soon acquire more and more customers. They set up a schedule which requires them to work long hours, but they are able to see through all of their jobs and overall the customers seem happy with their service. Unfortunately, theJohnsonslose their jobs in July and are no longer able to pay Sam and John for the lawn service. Sam and John contend they have a contract and continue to cut theJohnsonslawn weekly.

By the end of the summer Sam and John are exhausted from the long hours they have been working. On one such day, Sam leaves his lawn mower running at the Smiths while he leaves to get a drink of water. A neighborhood boy comes over and pushes the lawn mower across the Smiths flower bed and through their screened in porch causing damage to the flowerbed, and breaking the screen to the porch.

John is so mad when he sees what happened he punches Sam. Sam and John decide they can no longer work together and call off the lawn service business. John stops making payments on the mower, and tells Mower Supply, Inc., that he made a mistake and has no intention of paying the rest of the amount owed. Sam wants to continue servicing the clients but without a lawn mower is unable to do so.
