Answer: the doctrine of unconscionability

The doctrine of unconscionability is a defense that is against enforcing a contract. From the question, we are informed that Orlin bought a refrigerator, on credit, from a salesman and the salesman want him to pay 10 times the worth of the refrigerator.

Retained earnings is the profit amount or net income left over and taken back into the business after it has paid out dividends to its shareholders.
However it is unlikely that the company will pay out the entire amount it earns in a particular year but a percentage of earnings.
In the case of Sherman, it is unlikely that the company made a profit of $200 million and paid out every bit as dividends to shareholders but what is most likely is that there was no profit made for retention in 2009
