Question

Julius asks Rachel if she would like to sell her boat. Rachel privately has no interest in selling her boat, and believes that Julius can't afford her boat anyway. Rachel says, "I'd sell my boat to you for $400." To Rachel's surprise, Julius responds "Ok, it's a deal." Rachel does not want to sell the boat to Julius for any price. Julius and Rachel have_______________________.

Answer 1

formed a valid contract because Rachel's outward expressions showed the formation of a contract.

Step-by-step explanation:

In contract, outward expressions refers to a situation when both parties has directly communicate the terms of a certain transaction and agreed upon it.

The contract is considered as 'valid' and considered to be a verbal agreement as soon as Rachel proposed a price and Julius agreed upon it.

One thing to remember, Even though this contract is considered as valid , it would be hard for Julius to held Rachel accountable to court since he has no way to proof that the verbal agreement has been made.
