Essay

On May 1, Fred agreed to sell and deliver 1,000 bushels of wheat to a baker for $7 per bushel. After the market price of wheat rose to $8 per bushel, Fred breached the contract by refusing to sell a bushel of wheat at $7. He demanded that the baker pay $8.50 per bushel of wheat. If the baker can get substitute wheat at the current market price, can he get specific performance? If not, what options are available to him if he seeks damages for breach of contract from Fred? What will he recover under each option?
