Answer 1

Answer:

d. the difference between the market price of

the coffee and the contract price.

Explanation:

Damages can be described as the loss caused

by a breach of a contract. They are measured

and expressed in monetary units. Damages

arise because one person in a contract has

not fulfilled their obligation. As a resut, the

innocent party suffers losses or injury.

Damage compensation should take an injured

party to where they should have been if the

contract was not breached. For Marie, If the

contract was not breached, she would have

bought the coffee at $5 per pound. Her

damages would be the difference between thne

price she eventually paid for the coffee, and

the contract price of $5.
