Kim hired Gold Contracting to build a pool and a fancy gazebo in her backyard. The plans were complex and required expert workma
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

B. Kim will win, because the bonus is a reward for work they have already performed, which is past consideration and cannot be used to create a contract.

Explanation:

In order for a contract to be enforceable, consideration must be exchanged between both parties. In this case, Kim made a promise that included consideration ($3,500) but Gold didn't exchange of give anything back. The swimming pool is already finished and it represents another different contract.

Another example would be a boss telling a subordinate that he/she will receive a bonus for having worked 10 years in the firm. The employee already got paid for working the 10 years, so there is no actual exchange of new consideration.

This is what is going on with Tom; despite having been presented information by Sam regarding how low taxes in general creates higher tax revenue, Tom still believes that taxing the rich would generate greater tax revenue to reduce the effect of recession.
