Re: sales question
It's impossible to say without knowing more information about the contract between A and B. Was it an exclusive contract requiring B to buy only from A? Did A breach the contract when it failed to perform? Did A cure the default in time? The terms of the contract will control the outcome here.
Re: sales question
More informaion is needed. If B's order was consistent with the contract and A's failure to deliver constituted a breach, B may have had the right to go elsewhere.
