21. Sam and Tom entered into a one-year contract wherein Sam agreed to supply Tom with all of the paper goods that Tom needed for his restaurant on a monthly basis.

The parties performed the contract for six months until Tom learned of another vendor who was able to supply paper goods for his restaurant at half the cost of his contract with Sam.

7. Patty and Dena were friends who were driving back to college after their Thanksgiving holiday. Dena, who was driving, collided with another car whose driver was making an unsafe lane change.

Who is likely to prevail?

30. Bob has gotten into trouble with his creditors so he is looking for a short-term loan to help him consolidate his payments and buy himself some breathing room. Because his credit is not very good, he goes to Shady Lenders (“Shady”), a short-term high interest rate lender. They offer him a $2,000 loan for three months at an interest rate equal to 1.5% per month. Bob feels that he has no choice but to accept the loan at that interest rate and he signed the note and accepted the money. When the loan comes due, Bob tenders $2,000 plus interest at the rate of 0.5% per month, which Bob considers to be the market rate of interest. If Shady sues Bob for the rest of the interest, how should the court rule?
