Question

Assume Jinan University and an American Professor signed a contract for a summer business arrangement. In the contract, the professor promised to teach for the summer in Guangzhou, and in return, Jinan University promised to pay the professor $1 million. In preparation for the arrival of the professor, Jinan paid $20,000 for a fancy Guangzhou apartment for the professor. Jinan also bought $2,000 plane tickets, $500 in weekend tours, and $200 in equipment for the professor.

In addition, Jinan spent $12,000 in advertising, showing possible students that the professor was coming to teach. 500 students saw the advertising. Each paid $20,000 to Jinan to enroll. The students gave up the opportunity to attend a different program in Guangzhou. The other program would have cost each student $30,000.

All of the students fly to Guangzhou, spending $2,500 on airfare. Each also paid $10,000 for excellent apartments near the university. The university was ready to go. Then the night before classes start, the professor calls and says he decided not to come.
