MOORE, Justice.
Defendant Allen first contends the trial court erred in denying her motion for a directed verdict made at the close of all the evidence.
On a motion for a directed verdict by the defendant, the court must consider the evidence in the light most favorable to the plaintiff, and may grant the motion only if, as a matter of law, the evidence is insufficient to justify a verdict for the plaintiff. G.S. 1A-1, Rule 50(a), Rules of Civil Procedure; Adler v. Insurance Co., 280 N.C. 146, 185 S.E. 2d 144 (1971); Kelly v. Harvester Co., 278 N.C. 153, 179 S.E. 2d 396 (1971); 5A Moore’s Federal Practice § 50.02 [1] (2d Ed. 1969).
The motion presents substantially the same question for sufficiency as did a motion for an involuntary nonsuit under former G.S. 1-183. See Comment by Phillips in 1970 Pocket Part to McIntosh, North Carolina Practice and Procedure § 1488.15 (2d Ed. 1969). As to the rules which governed the motion for [181]*181an involuntary nonsuit under G.S. 1-183, see Bowen v. Gardner, 275 N.C. 363, 168 S.E. 2d 47 (1969).
In support of her motion for a directed verdict, defendant insists that there was no evidence of agency between defendant and Norburn, that the rescission of the written lease contract was not in writing and was improper because of the ‘ Statute of Frauds, and that there was no evidence that defendant Allen promised to pay for the grading work or that her alleged agent Norburn made such promise for her.
Taken in the light most favorable to plaintiffs, the evidence tends to show that defendant was quite sick during the spring and summer of 1965; that she was over 75 years of age, separated from her husband and in the process of obtaining a divorce; and that she was aware of the negotiations between Norburn and Robertson leading to the lease of 10 May 1965, which she signed and which she later learned was not a good lease. Defendant felt that the land in question was partly owned by her brothers although their names were not on anything, and that she and her brothers had obligations to each other. She also felt that “Norburn had business and good judgment,” and although she did not know much about the negotiations between Norburn and Robertson, she signed the lease of 10 May 1965 because she trusted Norburn to do what he thought was best. On one or two occasions Norburn took her to view the grading on the property and talked to her about the status of the grading work, filling, and excavation. The lease which defendant finally signed with the West Side Motel Company, Inc., was also negotiated and approved by Norburn. This lease to West Side Motel Company, Inc., contained various provisions suggested by Norburn, one of which was, “Lessee acknowledges that certain grading, excavating, and laying pipes and building manholes have heretofore been done on the leased premises,” with a further provision that should it ultimately be determined that defendant or Norburn was responsible for this grading, any such expense for which they might be liable would be paid by the West Side Motel Company, Inc.
In discussing the power of an agent to bind its principal, Justice Bobbitt (now Chief Justice) in Research Corporation v. Hardware Co., 263 N.C. 718, 721, 140 S.E. 2d 416, 418-19 (1965), states:
[182]*182“Our decisions adopt and quote the following statement from Tiffany on Agency, pp. 180-181, viz: ‘The principal is liable upon a contract duly made by his agent with a third person — (1) When the agent acts within the scope of his actual authority; (2) When the contract, although unauthorized, has been ratified; (3) When the agent acts within the scope of his apparent authority, unless the third person has notice that the agent is exceeding his actual authority. “Apparent authority,” as the term is used in the foregoing section, includes authority to do whatever is usual and necessary to carry into effect the principal power conferred upon the agent and to transact the business which he is employed to transact; and the principal cannot restrict his liability for acts of his agent within the scope of his apparent authority by limitations thereon of which the person dealing with the agent has not notice. The principal may be estopped to deny that a person is his agent, or that his agent has acted within the scope of his authority.’ Wynn v. Grant, 166 N.C. 39, 47, 81 S.E. 949; Brimmer v. Brimmer, 174 N.C. 435, 439-440, 93 S.E. 984; Jones v. Bank, 214 N.C. 794, 797, 1 S.E. 2d 135.”
Here, the evidence favorable to the plaintiffs tends to show: (1) Defendant knew Norburn was negotiating with Robertson to lease her property to the corporate plaintiff for the construction of a Holiday Inn; (2) as a result of these negotiations, the lease of 10 May 1965 was signed by defendant because she trusted her brother to do what was best for her; (3) that the defendant was later advised that this “was not a good lease”; (4) that Norburn and Robertson then entered into lengthy negotiations attempting to agree upon a new lease; (5) that while these negotiations were in progress, the grading of the property proceeded and defendant was kept advised by Nor-burn concerning this grading, and on occasions she was taken by him to inspect this work, which had substantially improved her land; (6) that no new lease was agreed upon with Robertson; (7) that the lease of 10 May 1965 was terminated before 1 June 1966, and that Norburn, acting for defendant, negotiated a lease with West Side Motel Company, Inc., for defendant’s property, which defendant signed, and (8) that defendant recognized Norburn as her agent at all times during these transactions and fully ratified his acts done in her behalf. This evidence was sufficient to be submitted to the jury and to over[183]*183come defendant’s motion for a directed verdict. Kelly v. Harvester Co., supra; Equipment Co. v. Anders, 265 N.C. 393, 144 S.E. 2d 252 (1965).
There was other evidence from which the jury could have found to the contrary, but the resolution of the factual issues was properly left to the jury. Sneed v. Lions Club, 273 N.C. 98, 159 S.E. 2d 770 (1968).
In further support of her motion for a directed verdict, defendant contends that the alleged rescission of the lease of 10 May 1965 was not in writing and was improper because of the Statute of Frauds. This contention is without merit. A lease which is required by the Statute of Frauds to be in writing may be rescinded orally by the mutual assent of both parties. Scott v. Jordan, 235 N.C. 244, 69 S.E. 2d 557 (1952); Bell v. Brown, 227 N.C. 319, 42 S.E. 2d 92 (1947).
Defendant also insists there was no evidence that defendant personally or through Norburn promised to pay for the grading work. The evidence discloses that Norburn agreed to pay for this work in the event a new lease was not agreed upon; that he did this to prevent the Asheville Contracting Company from removing its equipment, and also to assure that a Holiday Inn would be constructed on this property. Although no benefit accrued to Norburn, the defendant’s property was substantially benefited by the work done. The evidence further discloses that defendant was advised concerning the grading and actually went on the property to inspect the work. From this evidence the jury could reasonably find that Norburn was acting for defendant when he promised to pay for this work, and that in any event defendant subsequently ratified his promise to pay. See White v. Disher, 232 N.C. 260, 59 S.E. 2d 798 (1950).

Here, the evidence favorable to the plaintiffs tends to show: (1) Defendant knew Norburn was negotiating with Robertson to lease her property to the corporate plaintiff for the construction of a Holiday Inn; (2) as a result of these negotiations, the lease of 10 May 1965 was signed by defendant because she trusted her brother to do what was best for her; (3) that the defendant was later advised that this “was not a good lease”; (4) that Norburn and Robertson then entered into lengthy negotiations attempting to agree upon a new lease; (5) that while these negotiations were in progress, the grading of the property proceeded and defendant was kept advised by Nor-burn concerning this grading, and on occasions she was taken by him to inspect this work, which had substantially improved her land; (6) that no new lease was agreed upon with Robertson; (7) that the lease of 10 May 1965 was terminated before 1 June 1966, and that Norburn, acting for defendant, negotiated a lease with West Side Motel Company, Inc., for defendant’s property, which defendant signed, and (8) that defendant recognized Norburn as her agent at all times during these transactions and fully ratified his acts done in her behalf. This evidence was sufficient to be submitted to the jury and to over[183]*183come defendant’s motion for a directed verdict. Kelly v. Harvester Co., supra; Equipment Co. v. Anders, 265 N.C. 393, 144 S.E. 2d 252 (1965).
There was other evidence from which the jury could have found to the contrary, but the resolution of the factual issues was properly left to the jury. Sneed v. Lions Club, 273 N.C. 98, 159 S.E. 2d 770 (1968).
In further support of her motion for a directed verdict, defendant contends that the alleged rescission of the lease of 10 May 1965 was not in writing and was improper because of the Statute of Frauds. This contention is without merit. A lease which is required by the Statute of Frauds to be in writing may be rescinded orally by the mutual assent of both parties. Scott v. Jordan, 235 N.C. 244, 69 S.E. 2d 557 (1952); Bell v. Brown, 227 N.C. 319, 42 S.E. 2d 92 (1947).
Defendant also insists there was no evidence that defendant personally or through Norburn promised to pay for the grading work. The evidence discloses that Norburn agreed to pay for this work in the event a new lease was not agreed upon; that he did this to prevent the Asheville Contracting Company from removing its equipment, and also to assure that a Holiday Inn would be constructed on this property. Although no benefit accrued to Norburn, the defendant’s property was substantially benefited by the work done. The evidence further discloses that defendant was advised concerning the grading and actually went on the property to inspect the work. From this evidence the jury could reasonably find that Norburn was acting for defendant when he promised to pay for this work, and that in any event defendant subsequently ratified his promise to pay. See White v. Disher, 232 N.C. 260, 59 S.E. 2d 798 (1950). This evidence was sufficient for submission to the jury and to overcome defendant’s motion for a directed verdict. Kelly v. Harvester Co., supra.
Defendant also assigns as error the failure of the trial court to direct a verdict for her on the counterclaim for rental payments due under the 10 May 1965 lease and for the difference between the value of the improvements promised and the value of improvements actually placed upon her property. This assignment is without merit. There was sufficient evidence from which the jury could find that there was no default under the [184]*184lease, but that the lease was orally rescinded prior to the date the first rental payments were due. If so rescinded, defendant had no claim for rent or improvements. Scott v. Jordan, supra; Bixler v. Britton, 192 N.C. 199, 134 S.E. 488 (1926). Consequently, the trial court correctly denied defendant’s motion and submitted issues to the jury. Adler v. Insurance Co., supra.
Defendant next contends that the trial court erred in refusing defendant’s motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict, under Rule 50 (b) of the New Rules of Civil Procedure. This rule provides in effect that “when a motion for directed verdict is denied, and the jury returns a verdict for the non-movant, the movant may make a motion for judgment in his favor notwithstanding the verdict. The propriety of granting a motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict is determined by the same considerations as that of a motion for a directed verdict and, as in the case of the latter motion, is cautiously and sparingly granted. It permits the judge to consider the sufficiency of the evidence after the jury has returned a verdict.” Sizemore, General Scope and Philosophy of the New Rules, 5 Wake Forest Intramural Law Review 1, 41 (1969).
When passing on a motion for judgment n.o.v., the court must view the evidence in the light most favorable to the non-movant. New Mexico Saving & Loan Ass’n v. U. S. Fidelity & Guaranty Co., 454 F. 2d 328 (10th Cir. 1972); Hannigan v. Sears, Roebuck & Co., 410 F. 2d 285 (7th Cir. 1969); Warner v. Billups Eastern Petroleum Co., 406 F. 2d 1058 (4th Cir. 1969). The standards are the same as those for granting a directed verdict. Juhnke v. EIG Corp., 444 F. 2d 1323 (9th Cir. 1971). However, denial of a motion for a directed verdict is not a bar to a motion for judgment n.o.v. Moore v. Capital Transit Co., 226 F. 2d 57 (D.C. Cir. 1955), cert. denied 350 U.S. 966, 100 L.Ed. 839, 76 S.Ct. 434 (1956). For a good explanation of the purpose of the rule, see Montgomery Ward & Co. v. Duncan, 311 U.S. 243, 85 L.Ed. 147, 61 S.Ct. 189 (1940); Comment to G.S. 1A-1, Rule 50, N. C. Rules of Civil Procedure.
In the instant case, at the close of all the evidence defendant made a motion for a directed verdict, which was denied. After the jury returned its verdict, defendant then made a motion for judgment n.o.v. under Rule 50(b). The trial judge correctly denied this motion for the same reasons that he denied the [185]*185motion for a directed verdict — that is, the evidence viewed in the light most favorable to plaintiffs was sufficient to sustain the verdict.
Defendant also made a motion for a new trial under Rule 59. This motion was denied by the court, and the defendant excepted to this ruling. However, this exception was not brought forward and discussed as an assignment of error and is therefore deemed abandoned. Rule 28 of the Rules of Practice in the Supreme Court, 254 N.C. 810 (1961); Dinkins v. Booe, 252 N.C. 731, 114 S.E. 2d 272 (1960).
Defendant further contends that the trial judge erred in admitting testimony concerning a subsequent lease from defendant to West Side Motel Company, Inc. This lease involved the same tract of land and was signed by defendant on 13 October 1967. Both defendant and Norburn testified concerning this lease. Norburn testified that he dictated to West Side Motel Company, Inc., and its attorneys the provisions which he wished to be included in the lease, that defendant Allen had no part in negotiating the lease, and that she only signed it when it was presented to her. Defendant Allen testified that she had no contact with the representatives of West Side Motel Company, Inc., until she met them in the office of the attorney when she signed the lease. This testimony by defendant Allen and Norburn was competent on the question of the agency of Norburn, as it tended to show a course of business dealings between defendant and Norburn in similar transactions. Colyer v. Hotel Co., 216 N.C. 228, 4 S.E. 2d 436 (1939). “ . . . (P)roof that the principal permitted the agent to perform similar acts and transactions with other persons has always been accepted to establish the existence of an agency. ...” 3 Am. Jur. 2d, Agency § 351. See also 3 Am. Jur. 2d, Agency § 352, which states: “ . . . (E)vidence of an agent’s authority to bind his principal is frequently found in the fact that the alleged principal acquiesced in, recognized, or adopted similar acts done on other occasions by the assumed agent.” See Realty Co. v. Rumbough, 172 N.C. 741, 90 S.E. 931 (1916); Gilbraith v. Lineberger, 69 N.C. 145 (1873).
Defendant next contends that the court erred in allowing the plaintiffs’ attorney to read to the jury two portions of the adverse examination of defendant Allen. The first portion of defendant’s statement related to the 10 May 1965 lease and was [186]*186as follows: “They told me it was not a good lease.” Defendant contends that this was hearsay as the identity of “they” was never revealed. This argument is without merit. The purpose of the question was not to prove or disprove the quality of the lease itself, but was to show that defendant had been advised or put on notice that the lease might be deficient in some respects. Wilson v. Indemnity Corp., 272 N.C. 183, 158 S.E. 2d 1 (1967); Stansbury, N. C. Evidence § 141, p. 346 (2d Ed. 1969).
The second portion of the statement read to the jury consisted of the following question asked by plaintiffs’ attorney and answered by defendant:
“Q. Wasn’t he [Norburn] reporting back to you regularly on the status of these negotiations [with West Side Motel Company, Inc.] ?
“A. He would come and tell me something about it and I trusted him to go ahead and do what he thought best, and I don’t know how much went on, I just don’t know.”
Defendant contends the answer was not responsive to the question and should have been stricken. As stated in III Wigmore, Evidence § 785 (Chadbourne rev. 1970) :
“Where the witness, either in a deposition or on the stand, goes beyond the scope of the question, and makes an answer not responsive, there is nothing ‘per se’ wrong. If the answer contains irrelevant facts, they may be struck out, and the jury directed to ignore them. If it furnishes relevant facts1, then they are none the less admissible merely because they were not specifically asked for.”
The answer in this case was in fact responsive and relevant to the question of the existence of agency. See State v. Little, 278 N.C. 484, 180 S.E. 2d 17 (1971); In re Will of Tatum, 233 N.C. 723, 65 S.E. 2d 351 (1951).
Defendant’s assignments of error Nos. 323, 324, 325, 326, 327, 328, 329, and 330 relate to alleged errors in the charge. In each assignment the defendant merely says: “The court erred in instructing the jury, as set forth in Exception No. [giving exception number],” and then quotes a portion of the charge. The assignments do not set out the defendant’s contentions as to what the court should have charged or the particular matters [187]*187which defendant asserts were erroneous or omitted. An assignment of error to the charge on the ground that the court gave an erroneous instruction on a particular aspect should not only quote the portion of the charge to which the defendant objects but should also point out the alleged error. State v. Boyd, 278 N.C. 682, 180 S.E. 2d 794 (1971); State v. Benton, 276 N.C. 641, 174 S.E. 2d 798 (1970); State v. Kirby, 276 N.C. 123, 171 S.E. 2d 416 (1970); State v. Porth, 269 N.C. 329, 153 S.E. 2d 10 (1967); State v. Wilson, 263 N.C. 533, 139 S.E. 2d 736 (1965); Pratt v. Bishoy, 257 N.C. 486, 126 S.E. 2d 597 (1962); 1 Strong, N. C. Index 2d, Appeal and Error § 31, p. 167; 3 Strong, N. C. Index 2d, Criminal Law § 163, p. 118.
Assignment of error No. 331 based on exception No. 331, entered at the end of the charge, states:
“The court erred in failing to state in a plain and concise manner the evidence given in the case to the extent necessary to explain the application of the law thereto and in failing to declare and explain the law arising on the evidence given in the case, as set forth in Exception No. 331 (R p 220), as required by Rule 51 of the Rules of Civil Procedure, in the following particulars:
“(a) The court failed to explain the law relating to the meaning of agency and the agency relationship;
“(b) The court failed to explain the law relating to the scope of an agent’s authority to act for his principal and to sufficiently define authority and scope of authority of an agent within the context of this case;
“(c) The court failed to fully and correctly explain apparent authority of an agent to act for his principal and to define the meaning of apparent authority within the context of this case;
“(d) The court failed to fully and correctly explain the meaning of ratification by the principal and to define that term within the context of this case;
“ (e) The court failed to explain the law regarding the abandonment or termination of a written lease agreement;
“(f) The court failed to explain the law relating to the requirements for an agent to make an agree[188]*188ment for and on behalf of his principal, in order to bind the principal upon that agreement.
“Assignment of Error No. 331.”
This assignment of error is to the charge as a whole. It specifies no portion of the charge which defendant deemed erroneous and sets out no additional instructions which she deemed to be required. This is a broadside assignment and is ineffective to bring up any portion of the charge for review by this Court. State v. Mason, 279 N.C. 435, 183 S.E. 2d 661 (1971); State v. Baldwin, 276 N.C. 690, 174 S.E. 2d 526 (1970); State v. Kirby, supra; State v. Wilson, supra.
Even though the assignments of error to the charge do not comply with the rules stated above, we have examined the charge and find it free from error.
Defendant finally contends that the court erred in allowing the plaintiffs to recover interest upon the verdict from 25 November 1966. The plaintiffs’ action was on a contract to recover the actual cost for the grading and improvements performed by the Asheville Contracting Company on the defendant’s property. The amount was not known at the time the agreement was entered into, but was ascertained upon the completion of the work. On 25 November 1966 plaintiffs forwarded a statement itemizing the work performed and the actual cost thereof. Defendant refused to pay.
In General Metals v. Manufacturing Co., 259 N.C. 709, 713, 131 S.E. 2d 360, 363 (1963), with reference to interest on a judgment for breach of contract, it is stated:
“The later cases following the enactment of G.S. 24-5 seem to have established this rule: When the amount of damages in a breach of contract action is ascertained from the contract itself, or from relevant evidence, or from both, interest should be allowed from the date of the breach. Construction Co. v. Crain & Denbo, 256 N.C. 110, 123 S.E. 2d 590; Thomas v. Realty Co., 195 N.C. 591, 143 S.E. 2d 144; Perry v. Norton, 182 N.C. 585, 109 S.E. 641; Bond v. Cotton Mills, 166 N.C. 20, 81 S.E. 936.”
See also Vancouver Plywood Co. v. Godley Construction Co., 393 F. 2d 295, 299 (4th Cir. 1968).
[189]*189Although in this case the amount of damages was1 not ascertained from the contract itself, the same could be easily computed from the uncontradicated testimony of the plaintiff Taylor. The court’s action in allowing interest from 25 November 1966 finds support in the record and in the cases cited in General Metals v. Manufacturing Co., supra. This assignment is overruled.
The record in this case contains 384 assignments of error based on 334 exceptions. No effort was made to group the exceptions. Williams v. Denning, 260 N.C. 539, 133 S.E. 2d 150 (1963); Daniel v. Lumber Co., 254 N.C. 504, 119 S.E. 2d 397 (1961). The assignments of error alone cover 93 pages of the record. Obviously, a separate discussion of each would prolong this opinion beyond reasonable bounds. State v. Porth, supra; State v. Lea, 203 N.C. 13, 164 S.E. 737 (1932). A statement made by Justice Higgins regarding the record in Morgan v. Bell Bakeries, Inc., 246 N.C. 429, 98 S.E. 2d 464 (1957), is pertinent:
“ . . . The careful review of this record has been difficult and time consuming. More than 200 exceptions have been examined. The assignments of error alone cover 68 pages of the record. If there is grain of merit in this appeal it is covered up in the chaff.”
Suffice it to say that each assignment has been carefully examined. The evidence was sharply conflicting in many respects. These conflicts have been resolved by the jury in favor of the plaintiffs in a trial free from prejudicial error.
The decision of the Court of Appeals is affirmed.
Affirmed.
