Answer to Question 1

Authority is the legal ability of an agent to bind a principal. The types of authority include: express, implied, and apparent authority. Express Authority is when the principal, by words or conduct reasonably interpreted, actually gives the agent the authority. Implied Authority is the authority to do the things reasonably necessary to carry out the expressly authorized tasks. Apparent Authority arises when the principal does something to make a third party believe that a person has authority to act. Express and implied authority are categories of actual authority. In apparent authority, the principal is liable for the agent's actions even though the agent was not authorized.

Answer to Question 2
