ordered equipment may not have been manufactured yet.Case B. Scenic Trails Inc. is a
campground operator that sells annual memberships to campers. Members are allowed to pay

within days of signing.Case C. Educational Toys Inc. sells a wide variety of toys to distributors
and allows them to return unsold merchandise within a period of three months. The company’s
