Question 10(1 point)
Emma agrees to buy a truck and some equipment from Martha. They agree on a total
price of $16,000 for everything. Emma writes up the agreement to say she will
purchase "one pickup truck, $15,000, one log splitter, $500, one air compressor,
$500, total $17,000." After the agreement is signed, Martha demands payment of
$17,000. Emma refuses. If the dispute should go to court, what would a court do
with this agreement?
The court should declare that Emma must pay $17,000, because she wrote
the contract and should bear the risk of her own mistake.
The court should reform the agreement to reflect a price of $16,000.
The court should declare the contract void, due to an ambiguity.
The court should declare that Emma must pay $17,000, because the parol
evidence rule does not allow evidence that contradicts the writing.
