Rancher Hiram Walker purchased Rose, a cow, for $850 in the hope that she would breed calves. After several years of effort, Wal

ker concludes that Rose cannot bear calves and agrees to sell her to T.C. Sherwood for $80. When Sherwood came to collect Rose, however, the parties discovered that the cow was in fact pregnant. A confirmed breeder is worth about $1,000. Walker refused to part with Rose, and Sherwood sued for breach of contract. A court may determine that the contract between Walker and Sherwood is voidable due to what defensive legal theory?

Answer: Mutual mistake

Explanation:

A mutual mistake in a contract is a situation that arises when the parties in a contract make the same mistake in reference to a significant fact in the contract. i.e., they are mutually ignorant of a fact of the contract.

Had they both known about that mistake, they might not have gone into the contract so the contract is voidable in this scenario.

Both Walker and Sheerwood were mutually mistaken about the fact that Rose was pregnant when they went into the contract so this contract is voidable by this theory.

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

The question is incomplete, please see complete question below:

Following several years of declining advertising sales, the Greenville Times reorganized its advertising sales force two years ago. Before the reorganization, the sales force was organized geographically, with some sales representatives concentrating on city-center businesses and others, on different outlying regions. The reorganization attempted to increase the sales representatives' knowledge of clients' businesses by having each sales representative deal with only one type of industry or of retailing. After the reorganization, advertising sales increased.

In assessing whether the improvement in advertising sales can properly be attributed to the reorganization, it would be helpful to find out each of the following EXCEPT:

A.Two years ago, what proportion of the Greenville Times' total revenue was generated by advertising sales?

B.Has the circulation of the Greenville Times increased substantially in the last two years?

C.Has there been a substantial turnover in personnel in the advertising sales force over the last two years?

D.Before the reorganization, had sales representatives found it difficult to keep up with relevant developments in all types of businesses to which they are assigned?

E.Has the economy in Greenville and the surrounding regions been growing rapidly over the last two years?

The correct answer is

<em>A.Two years ago, what proportion of the Greenville Times' total revenue was generated by advertising sales? </em>

Explanation:

The  proportion of the Total Revenue (TR) generated by advertising sales is of no significance. Our objective is to find out if there was an improvement in advertising sales that can  properly be attributed to the reorganization.
