George contracted with Bob to have a racing bike modified for him to be delivered on February 20, 2004 for a race on February 22.

George contracted with Bob to have a racing bike modified for him to be delivered on February 20, 2004 for a race on February 22. The price for the modification was agreed on as $100. About February 10, George became nervous about the bike being finished on time and went to see Bob. Bob said that he was very busy, but if he really wanted to be sure that it would be finished on time, George would have to pay him an extra $25 so he could pay his employees overtime. George agreed and Bob completed the modifications as requested, on time. How much does George legally owe?

a) Only $100 because Bob had an existing duty to modify the bike and the price was settled.

b) $25 because past consideration is no consideration.

c) $125 because Bob gave consideration for George's promise to pay the additional $25.

d) $100 plus whatever it cost for the overtime.

e) a reasonable amount only.
