9.) Sam is 12 years-old. Sam comes to Tanya's house and asks if he could mow her lawn to make some extra money. Tanya agrees to pay Sam $25 when he mows her lawn. Same starts mowing and runs over Tanya's garden hose which is in the grass. Sam doesn't want to continue to mow the lawn because he doesn't want to ruin his mower by hitting anything else that might be there. He leaves the job without being paid. Tanya can:

(B.) refuse to pay Sam as there was no acceptance of the offer.

(C.) do nothing as Sam is a minor and cannot enter into contracts.

12.) Kroger ordered a semi-truck load of bananas for sale in its business from Dole Produce. When making the order, Rafael, a Madrid, Spain born buyer for Kroger, ordered one truckload of Mexican grown platanos (a common Spanish word that can mean both bananas and plantains; plantains are a completely different, unsweet fruit.) When they arrived, the truck was filled with the non-sweet version of plantains. Kroger refuses the shipment, and Dole sues for collection on the failed payment. Kroger believed it ordered bananas while Dole believed Kroger ordered plantains, the non-sweet kind. What is the legal standing in this situation?

(A.) Neither party may rescind the contract.

(B.) Either party may rescind the contract.

(C.) Only Kroger may rescind the contract.

(D.) Only Dole may rescind the contract.

Select one:

(A.) is legally entitled to the car for $4,000.

(B.) must pay $5,000 if he wants the car.
