a. an express warranty.
An express warranty is a seller's promise or guarantee that a buyer relies on when they purchase an item. In this scenario, when Bovine Feeders, Inc. labels the cattle feed sacks with "Twenty percent protein," it is making an explicit claim about the quality or characteristic of the feed. Because this claim is clearly stated, it can be considered an express warranty. This means that Bovine Feeders is legally bound to provide cattle feed that meets this specified level of protein. If the sacks of feed do not, in fact, contain 20% protein, Fancy’s Feedlot would have grounds to claim breach of warranty.
