Question 137

Multiple Choice

The owner of a large restaurant wanted four large pots of flowers in front of the restaurant. Laura, a landscaper, submitted her offer: four large pots with flowers for $800. The owner said he would pay $600 for that. Laura said, "For $600, I'll provide four smaller pots with flowers." The owner said, "$600 for the smaller pots with flowers plus an arrangement for the front desk." Laura said, "Forget it," and started to leave. The owner said, "All right, I'll accept your offer of $600 for the four smaller pots with flowers." Laura didn't answer and got into her truck and drove off. On these facts, which of following is true?


A) There is no contract because Laura's last offer was revoked.
B) There is no contract because Laura's last offer had been rejected by a counter-offer, and the owner's offers had been rejected or were not accepted.
C) There is no contract because Laura's last offer had lapsed after a reasonable time.
D) There is a contract because at one point in the conversation Laura was willing to sell and the owner was willing to buy four smaller pots with flowers for $600.
E) There is no contract because there is a presumption in law in these circumstances that the parties did not intend to create a legal relationship.
