Answer 2

$2,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Compensatory damages can be claimed by a plaintiff in order to compensate for incurred losses or injuries. The plaintiff must prove that he/she suffered damages due to the defendant's negligence or unlawful conduct.

In this case, Dunlap lost $2,000 (= $5,000 - $3,000) because Foster didn't perform, so he can sue in a civil court to recover the $2,000.
