D. No, because subsequent conduct of the parties modified the contract.

Answer:

Fountain Valley, Inc. and Alice

B. Yes, according to the duty of good faith and fair dealing.

Explanation:

Alice is entitled to the bonus of $10,000 because the duty of good faith and fair dealing requires Fountain Valley not to deny Alice the benefits arising from their valid contract. Since Alice's employment contract included a 5% bonus of all sales in excess of the previous 12 months' sales, the Fountain Valley, Inc. should not deny Alice's claim to the benefits.

b) Employment contract terms = $78,000/year plus 5% bonus of all sale in excess of the previous 12 months' sales. The value of sales in 2017 is $200,000 more than in 2016. 5% of $200,000 = $10,000. Therefore, Alice is entitled to the bonus.

When I evaluate the possibility of franchising my business I have to be willing to assume a greater or lesser risk, that is, I am free to choose how much risk I am willing to accept in the development of my business model under the franchise scheme, and it is precisely this knowledge of the situation, which allows us to make the best decision about whether to expand my business (and under what conditions) or on the contrary wait for the business model to be at a more advanced stage of maturity before starting a project of franchise development.
