Question 1:

Kenneth hired a real estate agent named Barbara to sell a condominium he owned in New York. The asking price for the modest two-bedroom unit was $1,300,000. Kenneth told Barbara he would go as low as $1,100,000, but no lower, but that she should try to get as high a price as possible. If he couldnt get that much for it, he said he would use it as rental property. A good friend of Barbaras was in the market for a two-bedroom condominium in New York. In fact, this friend had come to Barbara to help her find a place and negotiate for it. Barbaras friend said that she could absolutely not spend more than $1,000,000. When Kenneth hired Barbara to sell his condominium, Barbara told her friend about it and the asking price. Barbara told her friend, Dont even bother. He wont go below $1,100,000, which is his bottom price. Barbaras friend accepted that. Barbara then proposed to her friend that they go in together, with Barbara fronting some money through her friend, but not having Barbaras name on the contract as purchaser. Before they could work out the details, Barbaras friend received a raise and decided to buy the condominium. Barbara negotiated a price of $1,100,000 on Kenneths behalf. Kenneth later found out that Barbara had told her friend about his bottom price, and about the plan for Barbara to help buy the house. For each action of Barbara described in this scenario, describe what claims, if any, Kenneth has as a result of such actions?
