- A.
Goods
- B.
Services
- C.
Fixtures
- D.
A and B
Correct Answer
A. GoodsExplanation
The correct answer is "Goods". According to UCC Section 2-105, goods are defined as tangible things that are movable at the time of identification to the contract for sale. This means that goods refer to physical items that can be bought or sold, such as products, merchandise, or any other tangible objects. Services, on the other hand, are not considered goods as they are intangible and cannot be physically moved or possessed. Fixtures are also not considered goods as they are items that are permanently attached to real property and are not easily movable.Rate this question:

It ensures a steady supply for the buyer and guarantees a market for the seller's output.Rate this question:

All of the following factors, except which of the following, is an indication of "merchant" status?
- A.
The party typically deals in the kinds of goods involved in the sales contract
- B.
The party is a casual seller
- C.
The party, by occupation, represents him/herself as having knowledge and skill unique to the practices or goods involved in the transaction
- D.
The party in question has employed a broker, agent, or other intermediary
Correct Answer
B. The party is a casual sellerExplanation
A casual seller is not an indication of "merchant" status because a casual seller does not typically engage in the regular buying and selling of goods. Merchants, on the other hand, are individuals or businesses that are involved in the regular trade of goods and have knowledge and skills unique to the practices or goods involved in the transaction. Therefore, a casual seller does not meet the criteria of being a merchant.Rate this question:

Under the UCC, a contract involving which of the following goods is an exception to the statute of frauds writing requirement?
- A.
Specifically manufactured goods
- B.
Generically manufactured goods
- C.
Non-specifically manufactured goods
- D.
Traditional goods
Correct Answer
A. Specifically manufactured goodsExplanation
Under the UCC, a contract involving specifically manufactured goods is an exception to the statute of frauds writing requirement. This means that a written contract is not required for these types of goods to be enforceable. Specifically manufactured goods are goods that are made specifically for the buyer and are not suitable for sale to others. This exception exists because these goods are unique and have no market value to anyone other than the buyer. Therefore, the UCC allows oral contracts for specifically manufactured goods to be legally binding.Rate this question:

Conditional
- B.
Collaborative
- C.

C. ConformingExplanation
Under the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), sellers and lessors are obligated to transfer and deliver conforming goods. This means that the goods must meet the agreed-upon specifications, be of the quality expected by the buyer or lessee, and be in the condition required for their intended use. The UCC ensures that sellers and lessors cannot deliver goods that do not meet these requirements, providing protection to buyers and lessees in commercial transactions.Rate this question:

- C.

- D.
The contract will be valid as long as the parties expressed some interest in negotiating.
Correct Answer
C. The contract will be valid if the parties intended to form a contract and there is a reasonable basis for a court to find a remedyExplanation
Open terms in a contract refer to missing or incomplete terms that have not been agreed upon by the parties involved. Under the UCC (Uniform Commercial Code), a contract can still be valid even if there are open terms as long as the parties intended to form a contract and there is a reasonable basis for a court to find a remedy. This means that if the parties have shown an intention to enter into a contract and there is enough information available for a court to determine an appropriate remedy, the contract will be considered valid despite the presence of open terms.Rate this question:

It involves looking at how the parties have performed under similar contracts in the past to determine their intentions and expectations in the current contract. By examining the course of performance, the parties can establish a pattern of behavior and understand how certain terms and conditions have been interpreted and applied in previous contracts. This can help guide their actions and decisions in the present contract.Rate this question:

The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) Section 3-108(a) defines an instrument "payable on __________" as one that "(i) states that it is payable on demand or at sight, or otherwise indicates that it is payable at the will of the holder; or (ii) does not state any time of payment".
- A.
Presentment
- B.

- C.

- D.

The correct answer is "Demand" because according to UCC Section 3-108(a), an instrument that is "payable on demand" is one that either explicitly states that it is payable immediately or at the discretion of the holder, or does not specify any specific time of payment. This means that the instrument can be demanded for payment by the holder whenever they choose.Rate this question:

Cashier's checks
- B.
Traveler's checks
- C.
Certified checks
- D.

The other options listed (Traveler's checks, Certified checks, and Promissory checks) are all valid types of checks that are recognized under the UCC.Rate this question:

- A.
Time
- B.
Qualified
- C.
Conditional
- D.
Demand
Correct Answer
D. DemandExplanation
Payment on demand instruments can be made only when the holder of the instrument requests it. This means that the payment can be demanded at any time by the holder, without any specific future time mentioned in the document. According to UCC Section 3-108(b), the specific future time for payment must be easily determined from the document itself, which is not the case for demand instruments. Therefore, demand is the correct answer.Rate this question:

- B.
Article 2A of the UCC.
- C.
Article 6 of the UCC.
- D.

When you lease an automobile from an automobile dealer, the contract is covered by Article 2A of the UCC.

This article provides regulations and guidelines for both lessors (automobile dealers) and lessees (individuals leasing the automobile). It establishes rights, duties, and remedies for both parties involved in the lease agreement. Therefore, Article 2A of the UCC is the appropriate law that applies to the leasing contract in this scenario.Rate this question:

Suppose Sue offers to sell her sofa to her friend Brian. Sue does not sell furniture for a living. If, after Sue offers the sofa to Brian for $750, Brian says, “I’ll take it and I want you to throw in the coffee table along with it,” under the UCC, what kind of contract do Sue and Brian have?
- A.
They have no contract because of the mirror image rule.
- B.
They have a contract for the sofa and coffee table
- C.
They have a contract for the sofa only.
- D.
They have no contract.
Correct Answer
D. They have no contract.Explanation
Under the UCC (Uniform Commercial Code), the mirror image rule states that the acceptance of an offer must be a mirror image of the offer itself. In this case, Brian's acceptance includes a condition (throwing in the coffee table) which is not a mirror image of Sue's offer. Therefore, according to the mirror image rule, there is no valid acceptance and thus no contract between Sue and Brian.Rate this question:
