Assignment:
Assume a buyer buys a watch, which comes with a written 1-year warranty, from a clerk at Macy’s Department store.
a) What kind of “agency authority” does the clerk have that allows it to sell Macy’s watch to buyer?
b) If the watch ceases operation after six months, can the buyer sue Macy’s for breach of contract and warranty? Explain. (This is an easy question; don’t overthink it.)
c) Can the buyer also sue the clerk, who sold the watch to buyer, for breach of contract? Explain with agency principles.
d) Does the clerk have “implied authority” to extend the warranty period to 2-years by crossing out the 1-year, writing in 2-years, and putting her or his initials next to the change in warranty? Explain with agency principles.
Your answer must be typed, double-spaced, Times New Roman font (size 12), one-inch margins on all sides, APA format and also include references.
