Answer 1

Answer:

Fresno

Explanation:

A contract can be defined as an agreement between two or more parties (group of people) which gives rise to a mutual legal obligation or enforceable by law.

There are different types of contract in business and these includes: fixed-price contract, cost-plus contract, bilateral contract, implies contract, unilateral contract, adhesion contract, unconscionable contract, option contract, express contract, executory contract, etc.

The uniform commercial code (UCC) is a set of standardized business laws which are put in place for the regulation of financial contracts and commercial transactions used across different states in the United States of America. There are special rules known as the special business standards that are set up by UCC governing merchants and the sales of goods in Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code.

Under Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code, a shipment contract between two parties (buyer and seller) states that a buyer bears the risk of loss and is typically responsible for the costs of goods in the event of any damage or loss incurred during transportation and prior to receiving the goods.

In this scenario, the transaction is a nonshipment contract and the place for delivery is not specified in the agreement.

However, on the basis of the facts that both parties are aware that the 50 cases of packaged macaroni are in a warehouse in Fresno, the place for delivery is Fresno.
