An inventor and owner of an innovative company that sells woodworking machinery and tools read an article about the hearing loss woodworkers commonly suffered due to the extremely loud machinery. He was struck with the “perfect” idea: a noiseless power saw, which would not only help humanity by helping to save the hearing of millions of woodworkers, but which was also certain to yield a large profit. The inventor researched companies working to develop quieter engines and discovered a little-known manufacturer whose owner had invented an unusually quiet engine The inventor believed it could be adapted for power saws and other machinery. His only concern was whether the “silent” engine would be powerful enough to cut through all types of wood. After extensive negotiations, the inventor agreed to purchase 5,000 “silent” engines for $50 each, to be shipped to the inventor’s warehouse with his having prepaid the shipping cost. The purchase and sale agreement stipulated that each engine must be powerful enough to allow the saw to cut through both hard and soft woods of all types. The contract further provided that the manufacturer would deliver the engines in lots of 500 units each month, beginning on October 1, and that he would pay for each lot within 48 hours of delivery. After the first shipment of engines was delivered to the warehouse on October 1, the inventor sent the manufacturer a $25,000 check. However, after testing all 500 engines, the inventor found that not a single engine was capable of producing the power necessary to cut all types of wood. The inventor notified the manufacturer that he was hereby rejecting the engines already delivered and that he would reject all future deliveries because the engines did not meet the minimum power requirements. With regards to the 500 engines delivered to the inventor, what amount of damages can the inventor recover and/or what remedies are available to hi.?
A、(A) Two-thirds of the $25,000 he paid for the engines.

C、(C) The entire $25,000 he paid for the engines, or he can resell the engines.
