b. Is the failure to include a quantity term in the agreement fatal to its enforceability?
c. What about the fact that the price of cotton dramatically increased after the companies reached their agreement?
d. Should a court or other arbiter increase the per-pair contract price to account for the increase in the price of cotton, and then enforce the agreement?
