11. BUS 440 Survivor Hector "The Joker" Franco offers to sell his prized purple and primer grey 1983 primer grey Dodge Comet automobile with 275,778 miles on the odometer to Cen Cheng. Hector says to Cen, "I'll sell you my car for $47.83. It's actually worth a little more than that because I've changed the oil every 200,000 miles and it has 3 gallons of gas in the tank." Cen says, "I'll take it," and they sign a short agreement to that effect. Cen didn't know this, but Hector, still the joker, was kidding when he made the offer. There will be a contract if: $47.83 is the approximate fair value of the car. b. If a reasonable person (your Dumb Cousin) would have concluded that Hector was serious when making the offer Hector failed to disaffirm the contract within a reasonable time after the offer was accepted. d. The written agreement spells out all provisions of the contract. B and C a. c. e. The Old BLG being of sound mind and having all his mental faculties, finally decides to ditch teaching Business Law because the 99th Edition Legal Environment of Business by Cheeseman, it is just too heavy to carry around campus every Wednesday night and the 100th Edition is even heavier. Instead, he decides to follow his dream - painting the Golden Gate Bridge in rainbow tie-dye colors in memory of his hero, the late-great Grateful Dead guitarist, Jerry Garcia. He expects that the job could take a year, but much I longer if he hires Deadheads to help him paint it. On August 1st, (Jerry's birthday) the Professor enters into an oral contract with the Golden Gate Bridge District to tie-dye the bridge in rainbow colors. The Bridge District in tur tells your favorite professor that it will pay him $100,000 plus 5,000 pints of Ben and Jerry's "Cherry Garcia" ice cream when he finishes the painting. The ice cream is valued at $15,000. 14. The agreement between the professor and Bridge District is a(n): Bilateral agreement b Express contract Unilateral agreement d Implied-in-law contract. A and B. c a. b. c. d. 15. On August 9th (the anniversary of Jerry's death) of the following year, the Bridge District attempted to rescind the contract arguing that it is procedurally defective. On what grounds might the Bridge District reasonably prevail: The oral contract is unenforceable because it is highly unlikely that the professor could paint the bridge in less than one year. The oral contract is unenforceable under the sale of goods provision of the statute of frauds The oral contract violates the statutory guaranty provision of the statute of frauds. Failure of consideration 16. Assuming that all the other elements of fraud are met, which of the following statements if made by the old professor and proven false, could be used to support a fraud claim? "I'll use a kryptonite base paint that is absolutely impenetrable to the elements." "Before becoming a bridge painter, I was a house painter" "Within ten years, you'll be able to charge $10.00 to cross this bridge." "People will flock to see the tie-dyed bridge for years to come." "This paint should be able to withstand any wind the Pacific Ocean can dish out." a. b. c. d. e
