Question 1

Correct Answer:

Verified

An express contract is one in which the terms are fully expressed, either in writing or orally. An implied contract is defined by the conduct of the parties, not their words. The contract between Ramona and Santonio is an oral contract, in which the terms are fully expressed. That means their contract is an express contract.
The contract between Ramona and Santonio is an executory contract on May 31. An executed contract is a contract that has been fully performed on both sides. An executory contract is a contract that has not been fully performed. If, as in this problem, one party (Santonio) has fully performed but the other (Ramona) has not-because she has not yet made the payment promised on a certain date-the contract, executed on one side and executory on the other, is classified as executory.
