Problem:
Midwest Candies Incorporated orders 500 gallons of maple syrup from Vermont Made Sourcing (VMS), a distributor. VMS almost always chooses Cabot Farms over various other maple syrup suppliers due to the superior quality and discounted rates. The delivery of the maple syrup to Midwest Candies Incorporated is due on October 1. On September 15, a fire destroys Cabot Farms. Which of the following statements is true in this situation? Group of answer choices VMS's performance will not be excused if obtaining maple syrup from another supplier is reasonable and possible. VMS's performance will not be excused unless it can show that it can only get the same quantity and quality of maple syrup by paying a higher price from a different source. VMS's performance will be excused due to impossibility of performance. VMS's performance will be excused even if Midwest Candies Inc. proves that maple syrup from other suppliers is reasonably available.
