A retail store ordered 100 women’s swimsuits at $10 each, as advertised in the catalog of a swimwear manufacturer. The manufacturer shipped 40 swimsuits to the store, along with a letter stating in relevant part: “We have shipped you 40 swimsuits at $10 each in response to your recent order. Please remit $400. Be informed that limited inventory will prevent us from being able to ship any additional suits at this time or at any time during this year’s beach season.” The store took the 40 suits and began to sell them. The store immediately sought an alternate supplier of swimsuits. The best price it could obtain was $11 per suit from a different company. The store ordered, received, accepted, and paid for 60 suits at $11 each from the other company. The store has refused to pay the manufacturer the $400, and the manufacturer has sued for payment. What is the manufacturer entitled to recover?

The plaintiff sued the defendant for injuries suffered when the defendant’s car struck the plaintiff as she was crossing a busy intersection. The plaintiff planned to have a bystander who had witnessed the accident testify on her behalf, but he died prior to trial. At trial, the plaintiff called the wife of the bystander to testify that, although she had been facing the other way, she had heard her husband exclaim, “My God, the woman was crossing on the green light!” Over objection, the statement was admitted as an excited utterance. The defendant now wishes to call the bystander’s friend, who is prepared to testify that, a few hours after the accident, the bystander said to him: “You know that accident I saw this afternoon? The driver didn’t run a red light. The light was yellow.” Should the friend’s testimony be admitted over the plaintiff’s objection?

A utility company working underground installed a guardrail around its access hole for safety. Although the guardrail completely surrounded the hole, there was an opening in one part of the rail to make it easier to pass down tools to those working below. The owner of a show dog living across the street from the utility access hole frequently walked his dog in his front yard without a leash. One afternoon, the dog unexpectedly chased a squirrel out of the dog owner’s yard and ran through the opening of the guardrail, falling into the open hole and suffering broken bones and internal injuries. Although expert veterinary care saved the dog’s life, the dog was no longer of “show quality” after the injuries. The dog owner brought a negligence claim against the utility company to recover his economic losses resulting from the injuries to his dog. At trial, the dog owner presented the above facts. The utility company presented uncontested evidence that the guardrail used by the company meets typical industry standards, and that the opening in the guardrail was not large enough for a person to have fallen through. At the close of the evidence, the utility company moved for a directed verdict. What should the court do?
