Exercise 21

Earnest Construction contracts with Flo to build a store. The work is to begin on May 1 and be done by November 1, so that Flo can open for the holiday-buying season. Earnest does not finish until November 15. Flo opens, but due to the delay, she loses some sales. Is Flo's duty to pay for the construction of the store discharged? Why or why not? (See Contract Discharge.)
