Question:
Victoria goes into Elise's computer store Byte-Me Computers to have her computer's RAM upgraded. She tells Elise she needs the computer by the end of the day to work on a BSB151 assignment due the next day. At 3pm Elise calls Victoria to say she won't be able to finish it that afternoon. Frantic to pass BSB151, Victoria offers an extra $500 if Elise can upgrade the RAM in time.
As a result of that promise, Elise finishes the RAM upgrade by 5pm. From a contract law perspective, is Victoria bound to pay the extra $500?
Yes, because Victoria did intend to be legally bound.
Yes, because Elise finished the job on time and fulfilled the contract.
No, because Elise was only fulfilling a prior legal obligation.
No, because Elise did not accept Victoria's offer.
