In light of the scenario presented in the discussion question and reflecting on this week's assigned reading, the most straightforward solution for Big Widget Company is to annul the contract, request a refund, and return the widgets under the principle of rescission. This option is often favored by companies that prefer not to engage with a vendor that fails to fulfill basic obligations like delivering the correct items. Big Widget Company can assert their right to specific performance, compelling Widget Inc. through court to supply the missing 2,500 blue widgets. If Big Widget Company had a subsequent obligation to supply these blue widgets to another party, they could claim consequential damages due to the incurred losses from this failure. Should Widget Inc. be unable or unwilling to rectify the issue independently, Big Widget Company might pursue compensatory damages, which would ensure delivery or reimbursement of the remaining goods, including any anticipated profits from their resale. While these are some of the primary remedies available for contract breaches, other potential solutions may exist depending on the specifics of the case
