Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Based on the contract, Monica is obligated to pay $20 000 for the widget. She has only paid $13 000, leaving a balance of $7000. The fact that the widget is currently worth $23 000 is not relevant to the contract and does not change the amount Monica is obligated to pay according to the terms they agreed upon. Therefore, the court will likely order Monica to pay the remaining $7000 to Luis.
