In his last year of high school, Larry saw a friend's computer and felt that the word processing function would help him get through high school. He visited Computer Heaven Ltd. and contracted for an Apple Macintosh, printer, paper, and the program. The total cost was $2500. He paid $500 as a down payment and promised to pay another $500 on July 3, when he reached the age of majority, with the remainder to be paid in monthly installments of $250. By July 3, Larry had graduated, thanks to his passing mark in English, and he had no more use for the computer. Furthermore, he wanted to use his $500 birthday/graduation present for a down payment on a compact disc player and speakers. He failed to make his July 3 payment or any other payment to Computer Heaven. The balance outstanding at the time he stopped making payments was $2300, including unpaid interest. On these facts, which of the following is true?
▸ Computer Heaven can sue Larry for breach of contract if it sues Larry after he becomes an adult.
▸ Although the contract is unenforceable against Larry, if he affirms the contract after he reaches the age of majority, the seller will be able to sue him for breach of contract.
▸ Because a contract with a minor is void, Computer Heaven has never passed title and can retrieve the computer, printer, paper, and program even if these goods have been resold to someone else.
▸ If Larry doesn't pay, Computer Heaven can sue Larry's parents because parents are liable for the debts of their minor children.
▸ none of the above
