I feel the two questions below contradict themselves. In one we are told in UCC it is okay to leave the quantity open, but in the other it says you cannot leave quantity open?
Under the UCC Sales Article, which of the following conditions will prevent the formation of an enforceable sale of goods contract?
A. Open price.
B. Open delivery.
C. Open quantity.
D. Open acceptance.
CORRECT ANSWER IS D. Explanation is Under the UCC, many terms may be left “open,” which means they will be determined at a later time. In this way, the UCC encourages the formation of agreements. Price, time of delivery and payment, and quantity may be left open.
Under the Sales Article of the UCC, which of the following requirements must be met for a writing to be an enforceable contract for the sale of goods?
A. The writing must contain a term specifying the price of the goods.
B. The writing must contain a term specifying the quantity of the goods.
C. The writing must contain the signatures of all parties to the writing.
D. The writing must contain the signature of the party seeking to enforce the writing.
CORRECT ANSWER IS B. Explanation is To be valid, the contract must specify the subject matter and if there is more than one, there must be a quantity. You cannot form a contract with, “I will sell you some bicycles.” There must be a quantity of bicycles.
