Question

Rudo asked Harun to detail his brand-new sports car by painting flames on the side of the vehicle. After the parties signed a contract and after Harun had already started to paint, Rudo decided that he also wanted Harun to install a new stereo system in the car at the same cost and modified the contract likewise. Harun painted the flames on the side of the vehicle as originally agreed but did not install a new stereo. Rudo refuses to pay the originally agreed upon price. If Harun sues Rudo for the contract price, he will win because:_______

a. Rudo's act was unenforceable for lack of consideration
b. Rudo's promise was enforceable.
c. The old contract automaticallt got cancelled with the addition of a new condition.
d. Harun's act was not a preexisting duty and hence of no legal value.

Answer 1

Answer: Rudo's act was unenforceable for lack of consideration

Step-by-step explanation:

Any contract that must be enforceable by law needs an appropriate consideration. Based on the above scenario on the question, when there was a modification that was made in the contract, we were informed that Rudo told Harun to detail his brand-new car by painting flames on side of the vehicle and after the contract was signed by the parties, he wanted to modify the contract by telling Harun to install new stereo system in the car.

Rudo did not promise for modifications from the beginning of the contract, therefore there should not be any change in the existing contract. If Hrun Sue's Rado based on the scenario, he will win due to the fact that Rudo's act was unenforceable for a lack of consideration.

Answer 2

a. Rudo's act was unenforceable for lack of consideration

Step-by-step explanation:

In this scenario where Rudo changed the contract after Harun had commenced painting, his new contract is not enforceable because it lacks consideration.

Consideration is defined as the action in a contract where the parties involved agree to carry out their side of the contract.

When the parties do not agree to the terms of the contract then the contract is not legally binding on the parties.

Rudo made the first contract which Harun agreed to. However Harun did not agree to the terms of the modified contract, so this makes it unenforceable
