Question

John enters into a contract to paint Chad's house. When Chad decides on a color, John will buy the paint and paint the house for the price of $2,500. This contract is governed by:

a. the common law of contracts governs because this is a mixed contract (one for services and goods).
b. the common law of contracts governs because the predominant factor of the contract is for the sale of services and not goods.
c. the Uniform Commercial Code governs because a sale of goods is involved.
d. both the common law and the Uniform Commercial Code will govern this contract.

Answer 1

The contract is governed by the Uniform Commercial Code.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is c. the Uniform Commercial Code governs because a sale of goods is involved.

The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) is a set of laws that governs commercial transactions, including contracts for the sale of goods. This means that when a contract involves the sale of goods, the UCC will apply.

In this case, John and Chad have entered into a contract for John to paint Chad's house, which involves the sale of paint as a good. Therefore, the UCC will govern this contract.
