Does possible misuse constitute a waiver of the implied warranties? Consider the case of a lessee of a car who after 18 months found the car was running roughly. When taking the car back to the dealership, the lessee was told that several valves in the engine were bent due to misuse by the lessee. The lessee refused to pay the bill of $500+, claiming that it should be covered under the warranties. The car dealership's position was that misuse constituted a waiver of the warranties. [LaBella v. Charlies Thomas, Inc., and Mercedes-Benz of North America, 942 S. W2d 127.]

Let's consider a hypothetical airline, mudlarks airlines. on one of its flights, precious records show that about 15% of people who had tickets for the flights did not take the flight. there are 120 seats on the plane. 1. how many tickets should mudlarks airlines sell for this flight? 2. as an added consideration, suppose that tickets on this flight cost a flat rate of $250. in addition, mudlarks airlines must give any traveler who purchased a seat for the flight, but who cannot travel due to overbooking, a $400 certificate for their trouble. does this change your answer in question one? now, suppose that mudlarks airlines forms a partnership itch another airline, puffin air. their agreement allocates 100 seats on the flight to mudlarks airlines and another 20 seats to puffin air. the 2 airlines sell tickets for the flight independently of each other. 3. assuming the same 15% no show percent for each airline, how many tickets should each sell?
