Section 1: Contract Law & Deal Formation (Questions 1–20)
Question 1
A customer visits a dealership and signs a Buyer's Order for a
new vehicle. The sales manager explains that the dealership will
attempt to secure financing for the customer. Before any
, Page 2 of 58
financing is finalized, the customer asks whether a binding
contract has been formed. Which of the following statements
best describes when a valid contract is formed in this
transaction?
A. A contract is formed when the customer signs the Buyer's
Order, regardless of financing approval.
B. A contract is formed only when the dealership receives final
approval from a lender and both parties sign the Retail
Installment Sales Contract (RISC).
C. A contract is formed when the customer verbally agrees to
purchase the vehicle.
D. A contract is formed when the customer takes delivery of the
vehicle, even without a signed agreement.
CORRECT ANSWER: B ✅
RATIONALE: A valid contract requires offer, acceptance, and
consideration. In vehicle sales, the binding contract is typically
formed when the RISC is signed by both parties after financing
approval. Option A is incorrect because a Buyer's Order is
usually a preliminary agreement, not a binding contract. Option
C is incorrect because verbal agreements are generally
unenforceable under the Statute of Frauds for transactions over
a certain amount. Option D is incorrect because delivery
without a signed contract does not create a legally binding
obligation.
Question 2
An F&I manager is reviewing a contract with a customer who is
, Page 3 of 58
purchasing a vehicle on credit. The manager notices that the
customer has signed the agreement but the dealership has not
yet signed it. The customer asks whether the contract is
enforceable. Which of the following best describes the legal
status of this agreement?
A. The contract is enforceable because the customer signed it.
B. The contract is enforceable because the customer took
delivery of the vehicle.
C. The contract is not enforceable because the dealership has
not signed it.
D. The contract is enforceable because the customer made a
down payment.
CORRECT ANSWER: C ✅
RATIONALE: A contract requires acceptance by both parties. If
the dealership has not signed the agreement, there is no mutual
acceptance, and the contract is not enforceable. Options A, B,
and D are incorrect because a customer's signature alone,
delivery, or down payment does not constitute full acceptance
by both parties.
Question 3
During a vehicle sale, a customer and the dealership agree on a
price and financing terms. The customer asks the F&I manager
what element of a contract involves something of value
exchanged between the parties. Which of the following best
describes this element?
A. Offer
, Page 4 of 58
B. Acceptance
C. Consideration
D. Capacity
CORRECT ANSWER: C ✅

exchanged between parties to make a contract binding. Offer
(A) is the expression of willingness to enter a contract.
Acceptance (B) is agreement to the terms. Capacity (D) refers to
the legal ability to enter a contract.
Question 4
A customer is purchasing a vehicle and signs a contract that
includes an acceleration clause. The customer asks the F&I
manager what this clause means. Which of the following best
describes an acceleration clause?
A. It allows the creditor to declare the entire outstanding
balance due and payable.
B. It allows the customer to accelerate payments to pay off the
loan early.
C. It allows the dealer to accelerate the delivery date of the
vehicle.
D. It allows the creditor to increase the interest rate at any time.
CORRECT ANSWER: A ✅
RATIONALE: An acceleration clause allows the creditor to
declare the entire outstanding balance due and payable if the
buyer defaults. Option B describes voluntary prepayment, not
