Melissa was authorised by her boss to place weekly stationery orders for up to $250. For four consecutive weeks she ordered $400 worth of supplies from Lewis Stationers because they were offering customers who spent $1600 in one month a free A4 paper folding machine and she knew her

office needed one. Melissa's boss has found out and told Lewis Stationers they have to take back their machine and any supplies exceeding the value of $250.

1) DID Malissa have express, I'm;ied or apparent authority to place the order?

2) Is Malissa company legally obliged to purchase the excess stationary?

3) Could Melissa be made liable for the cost of the excess stationary?
