Jane discussed the price of a new Roadster Special with Fred, and they agreed on a price of $37 000. As North Ltd had acquired the vehicle from the manufacturer for $30 000, Fred was pleased with the deal. On learning that Jane wanted to lease the vehicle, Fred agreed to arrange for South Ltd, a local finance company, to set up the lease agreement. North Ltd then sold the car to South Ltd for $37 000.
