As an agent for Ace, he sold a computer on time to a 70-year-old woman. She was to pay $25 per month for eight years because that was all she could afford. When Brown, Ace's sales manager, heard of the deal, he fired Grant and said Ace would not go through with the contract. However, the old woman liked the computer very much and insisted that Ace provide her with one within the week as required by the contract Would Ace Computers be bound by the contract? Why or why not? Mrs. Kahn arranged a trip to Europe for herself and her two children. Her husband couldn't go. She spent hours with the travel agent, Mr. Tobin, deciding on the vacation package. She asked him, and wrote a note asking again, what documents, vaccinations, etc., would be needed for the trip. Tobin said and wrote that all they would need would be their passports.
