Question

Linda has signed a two-year long contract with HNS Inc., a clothing retail store, to work as a sales trainee. Linda’s parents are outraged because Linda is not yet 18 years of age. In this scenario, which of the following elements of the contract between Linda and HNS Inc. has most likely been missed?

A) Legal purpose of the contract.B) Consideration.C) Capacity to contract.D) Mutual assent.

Answer 1

Answer:

Mutual assent.

Explanation:

Since Linda is not yet 18 years old her parents should give assent on the contract of sales trainee.

Answer 2

Answer: The correct answer is "C) Capacity to contract".

Explanation: In this scenario, the "Capacity to contract" element has probably been lost because the Capacity to contract is the ability of a person to enter into valid contracts, and Linda, not being over 18, lacks the  capacity to contract.
