Alice is browsing in a commercial art gallery when she sees a painting that she likes. Roger, who is the manager of the gallery, tells her that the painting is a genuine Leroy Neiman work. Based upon that representation, Alice buys the work for $5,000. She later discovers that the painting is only a cheap copy of the original that is worth no more than $50. Roger has breached:

A) an express warranty to Alice that the painting is a Neiman work.

B) the warranty of merchantability.

C) no express warranties, because his statement was merely an opinion.

D) an express warranty, the warranty of merchantability, and the warranty of fitness for a particular purpose.

A) an express warranty to Alice that the painting is a Neiman work.

Explanation:

An express warranty is defined as an agreement where a seller will provide repair services or will replace faulty parts within a given period. A company must provide express warranty when the product is more than $15. An express warranty is created when the seller makes a statement about the performance of a product and promises the product will perform as stated.

Alice sees a painting that she likes. Roger tells her that the painting is a genuine Leroy Neiman work. Based upon that representation, Alice buys the work for $5,000. She later discovers that the painting is only a cheap copy of the original that is worth no more than $50.

Roger created an express warranty by stating the painting was an original. He has breached express warranty by selling a copy of the painting to Alice.
