Question:
Sam, age 16, makes a deal with Pat, also 16, to upgrade Pat's computer with a new hard disk for $100.Sam completes the work a few days later and requests payment.Pat says he only has $75, pays that to Sam, and promises to pay the other $25 as soon as he can.Months go by and Pat still hasn't paid the remaining $25.
If Sam sues Pat for the remaining balance, the most likely outcome will be:
Group of answer choices
Pat will be able to avoid the contract because he lacked capacity to enter into a binding contract
Pat will be able to avoid the contract unless he reached the age of majority by the time Sam files his lawsuit
Sam will prevail because both parties were minors at the time the deal was made, so neither had the power to avoid the contract
Sam's acceptance of $75 will likely be seen as an "accord and satisfaction" and his recovery will be limited to the original $75 paid
