d.
is required to pay only for the materials Jake installed, based on quasi-contract theory (preventing unjust enrichment of getting something for nothing).
Jim entered into negotiations with Big Box, Inc. to be the purchaser for all electronics. Negotiations were ongoing for 3 months. Finally, Big Box announced in a staff meeting that Jim would be the next head of purchasing, starting next month. Big Box and Jim would meet to sign the contract next week. When Bill found out the amount of Jim’s salary, Bill (who owned his own small electronics repair company) approached Big Box, offering to do the job for one-third less money. Big Box agreed immediately and hired Bill. Can Jim sue Bill?
