Exercise 7

After the system was packed for shipment, Teledyne canceled the order, offering to purchase a Field Effects Transistor System for $65,000. Teradyne refused the offer and sold the T-347A to another purchaser pursuant to an order that was on hand prior to the cancellation. Can Teradyne recover from Teledyne for lost profits resulting from the breach of contract? Explain.
