Question

Anne worked as Amanda's assistant. Amanda told Anne to buy Amanda coffee every morning (using Anne's own money) and to buy Amanda the latest fashion accessory (scarf, purse, hat, watch, etc.) from Nordstrom on Friday of each week (using Amanda's store account with Nordstrom). Anne has done so for the past year. This past Friday, Anne bought Amanda coffee using Anne's own money, and bought a scarf for Amanda and a purse for herself from Nordstrom (both of which she charged to Amanda's store account). A court is most likely to find that Anne had _______ authority to buy the coffee and scarf; that Anne had _______ authority to buy the purse; and that Amanda has a duty to _______ Anne for the coffee.

Answer 1

actual, apparent, reimburse

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Since Amanda told Anne to buy coffee and accessories Anne has the actual authority to buy the coffee and scarf. By simple definition actual authority is specific powers granted to a third party by a company, agency, or organization in oral or written form.
2. Apparent authority does not require an official granting of power. This may be a result of the third party’s verbal or circumstantial representation. In this case Anne bought accessories throughout the one year using Amanda's store account. Therefore, Anne had apparent authority to but the purse.
3. Because Anne paid the money for the coffee Amanda reimburse and pay back the money to Anne.
