Question

When Myrtle comes home from work one evening, she finds that her yard has been mowed and trimmed. Later, a man comes to collect for the yard work done. Myrtle refuses to pay for the work since she has never seen the man before and did not hire him to do her yard work. Which of the following answers is most accurate?

a. This is an implied, unilateral contract and she must pay the price requested by the man
b. This is an express, voidable contract that either party may avoid.
c. The court would order Myrtle to pay the reasonable value of the yard work because of the benefit conferred on her
d. Myrtle would not have to pay for the yard work.

Answer 1

d. Myrtle would not have to pay for the yard work.

Step-by-step explanation:

A contract defined by the cambridge dictionary is "a legal document that states and explains a formal agreement between two different parties". In this scenario we found out that Ms. Myrtle didn't know the man that worked on her yard, and that she never requested that specific work. This man asumed that by doing the job, Ms. Myrtle was going to compensate him in one way or another but at the end she turned out to be mad because she never requested such work. For the next time, if the man wants to be payed then he needs to have a contract or an agreement with the other person.

Answer 2

d. Myrtle would not have to pay for the yard work

Step-by-step explanation:

Unless she has hired someone to work at her yard she should pay for. Otherwise, she has no obligation to pay the man since she has not contracted him.
