Select the best answer choice.
Owen Owner has an electronics store. On December 8, he sent a written request to a Comey Computer Manufacturer asking for the price of a particular computer that was on sale for the holidays. Comey Computer Manufacturer sent a written reply with a catalog listing the prices and description of all of his available computers. The letter stated that the terms of sale were cash within 45 days of delivery. On December 16, by retiurn letter, the store owner ordered the computer, enclosing a check for $4,400, the listed price. Immediately on receipt of the order and check, the manufacturer informed Owen Owner that there had been a pricing mistake in the catalog, which should have quoted the price as $4,900 for that computer. Owen Owner refused to pay the additional $500.
