Which remedy is a monetary damages remedy for imperfect goods?

• A. Return goods at seller's expense
• B. Damages for breach
• C. Refund
• D. Specific performance

Answer: (B)

Damages for breach are the monetary remedy used when goods don’t conform to the contract. The idea is to compensate the buyer so they’re in the position they would have been in if the sale had been performed as promised. This typically means paying the difference in value between what was delivered and what would have been delivered if conforming, plus incidental and foreseeable losses caused by the breach. Other options involve returning the goods or forcing performance, which are not monetary damages: returning goods at the seller’s expense is a rescission-type remedy, a refund is a different form of relief tied to recovery of money, and specific performance is an equitable remedy requiring delivery of conforming goods.
