FINAL EXAMINATION – TRIMESTER 1, 2017/2018

James enters PPI store, takes a shopping basket provided by the store and fills it up with various clothing.
When he is about to take the shopping basket to the cashier for payment, he realised that he has left his
wallet in his car. Pretending as if nothing had happened, whistling his favourite tune, he leaves the
shopping basket at a quiet corner in the store. When he is walking away, the store’s supervisor, Serena,
stops him and tells him that he has bought all those clothing and therefore must pay for them.
Advise James.
