(4 pоints) The Smithfield Pоrk Cоmpаny in South Dаkotа typically enters six-month contracts to supply pork products to large regional supermarket chains at fixed prices. Smithfield gets its hog supply from large hogfarm operations in the area. One of its largest suppliers just lost a lawsuit relating to the odor nuisance that the hogfarm was causing and was ordered to shut down until it could remediate the problem, which will take months. Smithfield could buy live hogs from other farms farther away, but at a significant increase in transportation costs and at increased prices because of the decline in the supply from hog farms due to several hogfarm shutdowns.Smithfield tells its supermarket customers that it will no longer honor the six-month fixed-price contracts that it has with the supermarkets unless the terms are renegotiated. Is Smithfield in breach or will it be excused from performance. [note: first, tell me the arguments that Smithfield will make to try to be excused. Second, tell me the counter-arguments that the supermarkets would make to try to hold Smithfield liable for breach.]
