Fact pattern:

Three years ago you decided to open up your own business designing, manufacturing, and selling handbags and clothing accessories. Six months ago, one of your current clients places their biggest order ever for 25,000 handbags. They are a national retail chain and are planning on selling the handbags in all of their retail locations. As part of the contract, you are required to deliver the handbags to their centralized warehouse by October 15th. Based on this order you have had to purchase more material, hired additional employees, purchased additional equipment, and expanded your factory space. Last night the client calls you and tell you they only need 10,000 of the handbags, and that they will not accept the full order of 25,000 handbags.
