Ames, an agent for Baker Antiques, had the authority to purchase early 20th-century American furniture costing a maximum of 1,500 per piece. Ames bought a 19th-century French desk for 3,000 from Carter. Baker was furious when she saw the desk, and she fired Ames. Nevertheless, she put the desk on display in the shop with a 5,000 price tag. When the best offer she got for the desk was 2,500, Baker returned the desk to Carter. Baker told Carter that Ames had exceeded his authority in purchasing the desk, and she demanded that Carter refund the 3,000 that Ames had paid for the desk. Will Carter have to do so?
