Kirk contracts with Ernest for five shipments of fresh produce at a specific price per shipment
due at the time of delivery. Kirk fails to ship the third shipment. The contract between Kirk and
Ernest is
Select one:
A. Void.
B. Unilateral.
C. Divisible.
D. Entire. - answer✔C. Divisible. A contract is divisible if each party's performance can be
divided into two or more parts and if it appears that the parties to the contract contemplated
separate compensation for each installment of the performance. Failure to perform one
installment is not failure to perform the entire agreement. If the contract is divided into parts
only to provide periodic payments toward the full amount due upon contract completion, the
contract is an entire contract, not a divisible one. When possible, courts prefer to interpret
contracts as divisible to avoid hardships that can result from delaying payments under the
contract until full performance has been completed.
