    Jennings breached the contract

    Explanation:

    A merchant firm offer is one that is irrevocable, the offeror makes an offer to sell goods within a given time frame and signs off on it.

    Even without consideration (acceptance) from the other party, the contract is irrevocable.

    A merchant firm offer that does not have a stated time frame rains open for a reasonable time.

    In this instance Jennings made a merchant firm offer. Even if Wheeler had not accepted the offer it is irrevocable till June 9.

    So by selling the car on May 15 he has breached the contract.
