Answer 1

Answer:

c. $500

Explanation:

A contract is an agreement by two or more parties to perform a.certain activity within a given time.

When contract are breached, the beneficiary has the right to gain back the amount promised.

If the beneficiary can get another option, the other party is obligated to pay the balance.

On this instance Nora had the chance to get a new job at $2,000 salary the balance is $2,500 - $2,000= $500. Since she rejected the job she is responsible for that loss.

However ABC is still liable to pay the balance of $500
