Tsuang Pey and Chang Jiang are debating economic growth in their country. Inventory in this closed agricultural economy is increasing and Tsuang thinks that this is a sure sign of declining demand and troubled times ahead.

He thinks that even if demand is currently low, things should improve in the medium term. Which of the following, if true, will weaken Chang's claim that things should improve in the medium term? A. A neighboring country is going through a recession. B. Population growth in this country has traditionally been lower than GDP growth. C. The central bank of this country recently increased interest rates. D. Job creation so far this year was higher than expected. E.

In december of 2004, the company you own entered into a 20-year contract with a grain supplier for daily deliveries of grain to its hot dog bun manufacturing facility. the contract called for "10,000 pounds of grain" to be delivered to the facility at the price of $100,000 per day. until february 2017, the supplier provided processed grain which could easily be used in your manufacturing process. however, no longer wanting to absorb the cost of having the grain processed, the supplier began delivering whole grain. the supplier is arguing that the contract does not specify the type of grain that would be supplied and that it has not breached the contract. your company is arguing that the supplier has an onsite processing plant and processed grain was implicit to the terms of the contract. over the remaining term of the contract, reshipping and having the grain processed would cost your company approximately $10,000,000, opposed to a cost of around $1,000,000 to the supplier. after speaking with in-house counsel, it was estimated that litigation would cost the company several million dollars and last for years. weighing the costs of litigation, along with possible ambiguity in the contract, what are three options you could take to resolve the dispute? which would be the best option for your business and why?
