Question

Lois tells Stew he can buy her pool house for $100,000. Stew is so excited to own a home of his own that he leaves a $10,000 check in her mailbox as a starting payment on the pool house. Then, he begins remodeling the pool house, spending $3,000 in repairs and improvements. Lois decides she made a big mistake and attempts to cancel this agreement. The most likely outcome will be:

Answer 1

The most likely outcome would be that Lois will still have to sell Stew the house

Step-by-step explanation:

The most likely outcome would be that Lois will still have to sell Stew the house. This is mainly because Lois accepted Stew's offer of $100,000 and Stew already fulfilled part of the agreement. By simply paying the $10,000 that he left Stew he has already fulfilled part of his side of the agreement which solidifies the agreement and makes it legally binding. Therefore, he would most likely win a court case if Lois decides to back out of the agreement.
