(Points : 1)        Performing one’s duties under the contract after reaching the age of majority.       Accepting performance from the other party to the contract after the age of majority.       Failing to disaffirm a completely executory contract within one month after the age of majority.       Making an oral statement that “I ratify the contract.” Question 2.2.

Which of the following is most true? (Points : 1)        Mike can disaffirm.       Mike cannot disaffirm because contracts for the sale of land can only be disaffirmed before the age of majority.       Mike cannot disaffirm because contracts for the sale of land must be disaffirmed within one year of the age of majority.       Mike cannot disaffirm because he has already ratified the contract. Question 5.5. Contracts that affect title to real estate cannot be disaffirmed until the age of majority. (Points : 1)        True       False Question 6.6.

Which of the following is true in a situation wherein a minor lies about her age in order to induce the adult to enter into the contract with her? (Points : 1)        Today, some courts will allow the minor to disaffirm the contract despite the lie.       Traditionally, the courts would not allow the minor to disaffirm the contract when the minor lied because this approach would reward dishonesty.       Today, all courts agree that a minor can disaffirm the contract despite the lie.       Today, all courts agree that a minor cannot disaffirm the contract if the minor lied.       None of the above Question 8.8. Percy is a rich boy whose parents supply him with every conceivable necessity of life. While still a minor, Percy buys a coat on credit from a men’s store for $5000.

Cindy’s indulgent parents, who give her everything she wants, loaned her the money for the car. The reason for Cindy’s purchase is that all her friends have cars and she feels left out without one. One week after buying the car, however, Cindy changes her mind and tells Mike that she wants to disaffirm the contract. When Mike comes to pick up the car and give Cindy her money, though, Cindy changes her mind again, telling Mike that “I’ll stick by the deal.” But when Cindy’s parents gave her a new car for her seventeenth birthday, she finally decides to disaffirm once again. Which of the following is true? (Points : 1)        Cindy cannot disaffirm because the car is a necessary.       Cindy cannot disaffirm because she ratified the contract by saying “I’ll stick by the deal.”       Cindy cannot disaffirm because we have a sale of goods and Article 2 of the UCC says that 16 is the age of contractual capacity.       Cindy can still disaffirm.
