The Statute of Frauds. Kendall Gardner agreed to buy from B&C Shavings, a specially built shaving mill to produce wood shavings for poultry processors. B&C faxed an invoice to Gardner reflecting a purchase price of $86,200, with a 30 percent down payment and the “balance due before shipment.” Gardner paid the down payment.

Discuss the following: Most of us communicate regularly through email and texting whether it is socially, for business purposes or for distance learning. Email and texting can be a great communication tools, but they have their downfalls. Due to the lack of facial expression, tone of voice and other nonverbal cues, the content of an email/text can easily be misunderstood. I have found myself reading an email trying to figure out what the person really meant. Sometimes emails from students seem rather rude or abrasive as compared to my interaction in the traditional classroom. I have to stop and think that possibly some of the emails I send may also have a tone other than what I intended. Please discuss your thoughts and experiences in dealing with this topic. What can be done to prevent misunderstandings when communicating by email or text? How can we improve our communication and relationships with others through these types of media?

Jessica Smith is the vice president of new drug development at Generic Phama, Inc, a pharmaceutical research company in Boston, Massachusetts. One year ago, she filed an application with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to obtain approval of a new drug for treating cancer. Smith met Joe Spencer at a convention three months ago and invited him to her room at the hotel. The two parted ways. Spencer worked as the director for approval of new drugs at the FDA. Two weeks later, Spencer wrote Smith a letter on FDA letterhead stating, “It was nice to see your name cross my desk on our company’s application for approval of the new cancer drug. I’d really like to see you again. Why don’t you come visit me in Washington this weekend?”

Smith considered requesting that the petition be referred to another director at the FDA. However, she is concerned that the transfer would delay the approval process for at least a year. Smith’s chief scientist advised her that a key competitor plans to introduce a similar drug on the market in three months.
