Larry works for Shannon as a salesperson.Shannon gave Larry a credit card with Larry's name on it so that Larry could charge necessary business expenses to Shannon's business account.Larry charged $1,000 in personal expenses,wholly unrelated to Larry's employment.Does apparent authority exist? Discuss.

Yes.It is likely that apparent authority existed.In order for apparent authority to exist,the principal must empower the agent to be able to represent to the third party that he or she has the actual authority to bind the principal.In this case,Shannon gave Larry a credit card,thus enabling him to cause third persons to reasonably believe Larry is authorized to use the card.
