Allegheny Energy Supply Co. and Monogahela Power Co., a subsidiary, filed suit against Anker West Virginia Mining Co., later acq

uired by International Coal Group, for breach of contract. The parties had a contract for Allegheny and Monogahela to buy all of the coal produced from a proposed "Sycamore 2" mine, located in Harrison County, W.Va. The coal promised amounted to about 1.8 million tons per year, not less than 20 million tons total. Anker has never produced the necessary amount of coal, topping out at 480,000 tons per year in total from the mine. Anker had sent a letter to Allegheny in 2006 claiming physical difficulties at the mine and a change in the enforcement of regulations relating to coal mining near gas wells hampered their ability to extract coal from the mine. As a result, Anker said it was unable to deliver the necessary coal. Which defense to performance is Anker relying on?
A) Misrepresentation
B) Parol evidence
C) Failure of conditions
D) Force majeure

Machine hours                 4000                1000             5000

Fixed mnf. overheads      19600               2400           22000

Variable manufacturing  

Overheads per machine hours 1.1                2.1

                                                                <u>   JOB A</u>                  <u>JOB B</u>  

Direct materials                                         13,600                    7500

Direct labour costs                                    20,700                  7400

Molding machines      2700*1.1=              2,970  

Finishing        400*2.1=                               840

Fixed mnf: molding 19600*4000/5000= 15,680

Fixed mnf: finishing   2400*1000/5000= <u>  480     </u>

Total cost    (sum of all the above)            $54,270

Mark up = 40%

Mark up=gross profit (GP)*100/cost

40%= GP*100/54270

40*54270/100= GP

GP= 21,708

Sales= cost + GP  

Sales= 21,708+54,270

Sales= $75,978.00
