Sarah Smith works as a laser technician for a local dermatology center consisting of physicians operating under a partnership agreement. Sarah purchased supplies through the mail from a medical supply facility totaling $5,000. She signed the contract agreeing to pay for the supplies in her name, Sarah Smith. A few weeks later the dermatologists became embroiled in a bitter dispute regarding profits and terminated the partnership. Unfortunately, the partners were not aware of the debt owed to the medical supply facility; and the bill remained unpaid. Sarah received a bill from the supply company for $5,000. Is she liable to the medical supply company, and why or why not?

Question 14 options:

a. No, because she was only employed as a technician.

b. No, because the medical supply facility should have asked for proper identification.

c. Yes, because she signed in her own name.

d. Yes, but only because the partnership terminated.
