Understanding UCC's Gap Filler Rules on Quantity in Contracts

What is the quantity that a court would order Click-Clack Cellphones to buy under the contract with SmartCorp?

The quantity that a court would order Click-Clack Cellphones to buy in this contract is a reasonable amount of microchips.

Explanation:

Under the UCC's gap filler rules, when a contract does not specify a quantity for the goods being sold, the court will determine a reasonable amount of goods to be ordered. In this case, Click-Clack Cellphones agreed to buy an unspecified quantity of microchips from SmartCorp. Therefore, if a court were to order Click-Clack to buy under this contract, it would be a reasonable amount of microchips. The other options listed in the question, such as the amount Click-Clack would buy during a normal year or the amount SmartCorp would produce in a normal year, are not relevant in this context. The UCC's gap filler rules do not consider the parties' normal buying or production quantities, but rather focus on determining a reasonable amount based on the circumstances of the contract.
