Answer to Question 1

Each party to a sales contract is required to act in good faith. For a merchant, the requirement of good faith includes observing reasonable commercial standards of fair dealing. In this case, when the market price was 75 cents, the seller was arguably not acting in good faith when it established a price of 1.50. Assuming the court concludes that the buyer was not acting in good faith in setting an unreasonably high price, the merchant will be deemed to have breached the contract.

Answer to Question 2

D
