Analyzing Case Study Using IRAC Method:

On September 5 Robert wrote to Cameron offering to sell 50 metric tons of wheat at $250 per metric tonne. On September 7 Cameron posted a reply in which he accepted Roberts offer but added that if he did not hear to the contrary he would assume that the price included delivery to his (Camerons) warehouse. The following morning, before Camerons letter arrived at Roberts office, Robert read a posting on the internet which stated that the price of wheat was about to fall and he immediately sent an email to Cameron stating our price of $250 includes delivery.

On receiving Roberts email at 10am on September 8, Cameron posted a letter to Robert confirming his acceptance of Roberts terms. By mid-day, however, Cameron also saw the posting on the internet which indicated that wheat prices were about to fall and, having considered the matter, sent an email to Robert stating I do not accept your offer of wheat.

The price of wheat fell to $230 per metric tonne and Cameron refuses to accept any wheat from Robert.

Question: Advise Robert regarding the above.
