A landscaper usually charges $100 to cut a homeowner's lot. While driving through a neighborhood, he notices a yard that needs cutting. He cuts the lawn without the homeowner's permission. After he cuts the lawn, he goes to the door and tells the homeowner that he cut the homeowner's lawn and asks for the customary $100. At first, the homeowner yells at the landscaper for cutting his lawn and refuses to pay a dime. But after a friendly discussion, the homeowner and landscaper agree to a fee of $80 and the homeowner pays the $80. Which statement is true?

	a	The landscaper should recognize revenue of $100 as this is what he usually earns when cutting lots.
	b	The landscaper should not recognize any revenue because a contract did not exist before he cut the grass.
	c	The landscaper should not recognize any revenue because a contract never existed.
	d	The landscaper should recognize revenue of $80,000 because that is what the contract indicated.
