Ellie, a 17 year old minor, contracted with Compco to purchase a used computer for $700. The computer was purchased for Ellie's personal use. The agreement provided that Ellie would pay $300 down on delivery and $100 thirty days later over the next four months. Ellie took delivery and paid the $300 down payment. Twenty days later, the computer was seriously damaged as a result of Ellie's negligence. Five days after the damage occurred and one day after Ellie reached the age of majority, Ellie attempted to disaffirm the contract with Compco. Ellie will:

  1. Be able to disaffirm despite the fact that Ellie was not a minor at the time of disaffirmation.
  2. Be able to disaffirm only if Ellie does so in writing.
  3. Not be able to disaffirm because Ellie had failed to pay the balance of the purchase price.
  4. Not be able to disaffirm because the computer was damaged as a result of Ellie's negligence.
