SECTION 1: Contracts: Formation, Defenses and Performance
Q1
On Monday, Seller emails Buyer: 'I offer to sell you 500 widgets at $10 each, offer open until Friday.' On Wednesday, Seller
sells the same widgets to a third party and emails Buyer: 'I revoke the offer.' Buyer receives the revocation on Thursday and
on Friday sends an acceptance. Is there a contract?
A. Yes, because the offer was irrevocable for the stated period
B. No, because Seller effectively revoked before Buyer accepted, and the offer was not supported by consideration or a firm-offer
statute
C. Yes, because Buyer accepted within the time stated in the original offer
D. No, because email is never a valid medium for contract formation
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
A bare promise to hold an offer open is generally revocable unless it is a firm offer under UCC 2-205 (merchant, signed writing) or an option
contract supported by consideration. Here neither applies, so the revocation was effective before acceptance.
Q2
Homeowner orally agrees to pay Contractor $15,000 to build a backyard deck, with work to begin immediately and finish in six
weeks. After three weeks of work, Homeowner repudiates. Contractor sues. Homeowner raises the Statute of Frauds. How
should the court rule on that defense?
A. The contract is unenforceable because it cannot be performed within one year
B. The Statute of Frauds does not bar enforcement because the agreement is capable of full performance within one year and is
not for the sale of land or goods over $500
C. The oral agreement is void regardless of duration
D. Only written construction contracts are enforceable under the UCC
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
The one-year provision of the Statute of Frauds applies only to contracts that cannot possibly be performed within one year. A six-week
construction project is fully performable within a year, so the oral contract is enforceable.
Q3
Buyer and Seller contract for the sale of a unique antique vase for $8,000. Before delivery, Seller repudiates. Buyer seeks
specific performance. Seller argues that money damages are adequate. Which outcome is most consistent with contract
principles?
A. Specific performance is unavailable because all contracts are compensable by damages
B. Specific performance is available because the subject matter is unique and damages would be inadequate
C. Buyer is limited to reliance damages only
D. Seller may cancel without liability because the price was below market
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
Equity grants specific performance when the subject matter is unique (land, rare goods) so that money damages cannot adequately
compensate the non-breaching party.
Q4
Painter agrees to paint Owner's house for $5,000. Midway through, Painter demands an additional $1,000 because the job is
harder than expected. Owner agrees under pressure so the work will finish. After completion, Owner pays only the original
$5,000. Painter sues for the extra $1,000. What is the likely result?
A. Painter recovers because Owner promised the extra amount
B. Painter does not recover because the modification lacked consideration; Painter was already obligated to complete the work
under the original contract
C. Painter recovers under promissory estoppel alone
D. Owner must pay because economic duress is never a defense
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
Under the pre-existing duty rule, a promise to pay more for the same performance already owed is unenforceable without new consideration
(or a valid modification under UCC for goods).
