Alan Freeman and Bill Freeman, brothers, operated a residential construction firm. There were three divisions of the firm: single-family homes, townhomes, and custom homes. Alan did not enjoy the demands of custom home buyers and Bill did not enjoy the cookie-cutter work of the other divisions. The brothers agreed to split the business with Bill assuming the responsibilities and contracts of the custom home division and Alan handling the remaining divisions. Alan told Bill he could continue to use the company offices until he was able to find offices of his own. Bill met his clients at the company offices, used the plans of the company and even continued to use the company stationery.

A) Alan is not liable since the relationship had been terminated.
B) Alan is liable because of apparent authority.
