Multistate Bar Examination Practice Question

A homeowner and a painter agree that the painter will paint the homeowner’s house in exchange for $5,000. Before the job begins, the homeowner contacts the painter and asks if they will add a deck staining service for the same price, and the painter agrees. After the painter completes both tasks, the homeowner refuses to pay, arguing there was no consideration for the agreement to add deck staining. Is the homeowner correct?

  • Yes, because modifying an existing contract does not require new consideration.

  • No, because the painter's agreement to add an additional service constitutes consideration.

  • Yes, because new terms introduced after a contract is signed are unenforceable without a written agreement.

  • No, because the homeowner's request to add services for the same price amounts to a unilateral contract.
