Final answer:

Bailey's actions of delivering the computer components to Stein's warehouse within the specified time frame is considered the performance of the contract in contract law.

Performance, in contract law, means fulfilling the contractual obligations as agreed between the parties. Since Bailey had the components in stock and delivered them within the specified 3 weeks, they have fulfilled their part of the contract ahead of the deadline, assuming there are no other conditions that have not been met.
