1. Pharma Meds Corporation employs Ogilvie under an employment
contract that sets out a specific amount of money to be paid for certain
results over a stated period of time. During the term of the contract, it
becomes clear that the results are not likely to be attained. Pharma
then gives Ogilvie the option of accepting a lesser position with fewer
duties for less money. Ogilvie accepts via e-mail, but soon files a suit
against Pharma for breach of the original contract. The court is most
likely to rule that Ogilvie’s e-mail
a. showed only an agreement to agree.
b. accepted the proposed modification of the employment contract.
c. constituted a non-binding, non-contractual communication.
d. contained an acceptance but is unenforceable because it is
electronic.

1. Dolph is an employee of Enterprise Company (EC). The federal
government raids EC and determines that Dolph and many of his co-
workers are illegal immigrants, whom are then detained and later
deported. Frey, Dolph’s EC manager, is imprisoned for federal law
violations related to the immigrants’ hiring. Unable to attract
replacement workers at a competitive wage, EC shuts its doors.
Reasons for reforming U.S. immigration laws include
a. the disruption of business caused by federal raids on employers.
b. the economic conditions prompting immigration to the United
States.
c. the imprisonment of those who violate U.S. laws.
d. the low wages offered by employers for jobs that should pay
more.
