Question 2 1 pts Marcus was a student but wanted Question 2 1 pts Marcus was a student but wanted to learn to play the piano. He decided buy a $15,000 grand piano on credit from Pianos R Us (PRU). Because his credit was shaky, the store hesitated to approve the financing. Marcus emailed his cousin Elena, to see if she would guarantee the loan. In the past, she had guaranteed several loans for him. She wrote back to him and PRU that she would do so. Relying on Elena's email the shop agreed to sell the piano on credit. A few days later, Marcus returned alone and signed a written installment contract in which only he promised to repay PRU. The contract made no mention of Elena's email or the statements in it. After making only two payments, Marcus defaulted. PRU sued Elena for the remaining balance, citing the email where she promised to guarantee the loan. Is Elena likely liable for the piano payment? Yes, because there is a course of dealing that can be established with her having guaranteed previous loans. Yes, because Elena's promise does not contradict the written contract. No, because her promise was an additional term and both parties are not merchants in the transaction. No, because the promise was not in the installment contract
