1.      What social forces are affected by the rule that consideration is not Required by a modification of a contract for the sale of goods?

2.      On Monday, Nancy sells her sewing machine to Irma. It is agreed that Irma will pay for the sewing machine on the next Friday, payday, and that Nancy will retain title and possession until such payment is made.Is there a sale of the sewing machine on Monday?

3.      Ethel wrote to Lasco Dealers inquiring as to the price of a certain Freezer. Lasco wrote her a letter signed by its credit manager stating that Ethel could purchase the freezer in question for the next 30 days at the price of $400. Ethel wrote back the next day ordering a freezer at that price. Ethel’s letter was received by Lasco the following day but Lasco wrote an answering letter stating that it had changed the price to $450. Ethel claims that Lasco could not change its price. Is Ethel correct?

 Answer :

1.      The rule that consideration is not required for a modification of a contract for the sale of goods affects social forces such as fairness and equality in business transactions. It allows for parties to renegotiate terms without the need for additional consideration, which can lead to more flexible and efficient business dealings.

2.      In the scenario provided, there is a sale of the sewing machine on Monday, as there is an agreement between Nancy and Irma for the sale of the sewing machine, with the condition that payment will be made on Friday when Nancy will transfer title and possession.

3.      In this situation, Ethel may be correct depending on the specific circumstances. If Lasco’s initial offer clearly stated that the price was valid for 30 days and Ethel accepted within that timeframe, then Lasco may not be able to change the price. However, if there are any ambiguities or specific terms in the offer that allow for changes in pricing, then Lasco may have the right to adjust the price. It would be important to review the specific language in the initial offer and subsequent communications to determine the validity of Ethel’s claim.
