Penny hires Jackson to paint her back deck. She agrees to pay him $200 for the job, and he accepts sight unseen. They enter into the agreement on Tuesday, and he is to paint the deck on Saturday. When Jackson arrives, neither Penny nor her neighbor is at home. He mistakenly paints the neighbor's deck. Penny calls him the next day and asks him why he did not paint her deck. He informs her that he did paint the deck. It is then discovered that he mistakenly painted the neighbor's deck. Penny tells him not to worry because the neighbor will be required to pay him. Jackson says that if the neighbor does not pay, then he expects all of his funds from Penny because the contract is executed. Which of the following is correct regarding Penny's assertion that the neighbor will be required to pay Jackson? O She is correct because contract law is based upon a subjective theory of contracts. She is correct because her genuinely held belief establishes that she did not commit fraud. O She is correct because contract law is based upon a subjective theory of contracts, and because her genuinely held belief establishes that she did not commit fraud. She is incorrect because her subjective belief would not be the basis for a determination of whether the contract would be enforced in this case and also because fraud is not necessary in order to find a breach of contract. She is correct but only if Rick subjectively believed the same as she did.
