38. The four (4) main elements to a contract are: (1) agreement; (2) capacity to contract; (3) consideration; and (4) lawful purpose.

40. Robert says to his son, "In consideration of the fact that you are not as wealthy as your brothers, I will pay you $5,000.00 by Friday of next week." There consideration in this transaction especially since Robert used the word "consideration" is his statement and Robert's promise is enforceable as a "bargained-for-exchange" and since it is between a father and son, contract law does not look for the son to have to do anything to receive the $5,000.00 promised and does not need to give Robert something of legal value in return for the promise of $5,000.00.

41. Carol contracts orally to sell her vacant Seaside real property to Axel for $25,000.00. Later, Carol decides not to sell the property.

42.a. Bonna Petite, a clever and advanced 17 year old with an appetite for fancy food. She desired to eat at a fancy French Restaurant called "Tres Cher" the most elegant and fancy restaurant in town. She was not under or experiencing any life circumstances which would consider the lunch a "necessary of life" for Ms. Petite. One day, she dressed up and groomed herself to look like a 25 year old businesswoman. She was seated at the restaurant and ordered a very expensive lunch. At the end of the meal, she summoned the waiter over and said: "This has been an excellent lunch and it is therefore with great sadness that I must inform you that I am a minor. I must disaffirm my contract to purchase this lunch." She showed him a form of identification clearly showing she was only 17. The age of majority in her State is 18. The State contract law does not make any exceptions if a minor misrepresents herself as being older than a minor. Bonna's disaffirmance of the implied contract to pay for the lunch she ate is valid because minor may disaffirm/disapprove a contract at any time before turning the age of majority (18) or within a reasonable time after attaining the age of majority.
