Mary tells Amy, "If you paint my garage by July 1, I will pay you $500." Amy does not say anything, but on June 15, Amy starts to paint the garage. After Amy is about 40% finished, Mary tells Amy that she no longer wants the garage painted. Which of the following best describes this situation? Select one: a. There is no contract because Amy did not promise to paint the garage. b. There is no contract because this was an offer of a unilateral contract, and Amy has not performed. c. An enforceable contract exists; Mary is not allowed to revoke her offer once Amy has substantially started performance d. There is an enforceable bilateral contract; Amy is presumed to have promised to paint the garage by starting to paint it. Harry goes into a brewpub and asks the waitperson, "Could I have a Possum Tail Ale, please?" The waitperson brings the beer, and Harry, in similar fashion, asks for several more, one at a time. As Harry is leaving, the waitperson says, "Wait a minute, you forgot to pay." Harry responds, "I just learned the most important thing in business law today. Contracts are based on promises and agreement, and I never promised to pay for the beer. As far as I knew, you were just being nice to me by bringing me these beers whenever I asked for one." Which is true? Select one: a. Harry need not pay because there was no agreement. O b. Harry need not pay because there was no promise. C. Harry must pay because there is an implied-in-fact contract d. Harry must pay because there is an implied-in-law contract.
