2b) Aaron is a partner of an accounting firm called, “Til Debt Do Us Part.” Aaron has several associates that work for him, including Rose. Rose is in charge of making sure the office has adequate office supplies and is paid on a weekly basis. One day the office runs out of a printer ink. Aaron calls Rose into his office and tells her to buy the “run of the mill printer ink” from the supply store across town. Just as Aaron told her this, Aaron received a phone call from a family member telling him that his mother was on her death bed. As Aaron scurried out of the office, he said to Rose, “make sure you get that ink.”
Thus, Rose got in her car and made the trip to the supply store. When she got to the store, she had to choose from three different types of ink. They ranged from $10 a cartridge to $75 a cartridge. Rose decided on the most expensive ink, because the office in the past has had numerous problems with the other inks.
On her way back to the office with the ink, Rose decided to surprise her boyfriend, Steve, with a visit at his house. Steve lived twenty miles away. When she arrived, she saw Steve leaving his apartment with Rose’s best friend Sara. Rose became so upset she got out of the car and punched Steve in the face, breaking his nose. Rose ran as fast as she could back to her car, put the car in drive, and sped out of the parking lot. As she was fleeing from the parking lot, she negligently struck Jake, an innocent bystander.
a) Will Aaron be liable on the contract that Rose entered into with the supply store for the ink that she purchased if Aaron refuses to pay?
b) Will Aaron be liable to either Steve or jake for tort committed by Rose?
3) The force of demand and supply, and how they interact?. The paper should be from 7 to 10 pages that will include three references from any sources.
