After not showing up for over 2 weeks. Pro Flooring tells Rita that they will not be able to complete the job and that she should look elsewhere for someone to complete the work. That week, they send her a bill for $12000. Rita is very angry and refuses to pay, Pro Flooring sues her for payment.

	No payment would be required due to Quantum Meruit.
	Pro Flooring is entitled to full payment as they did most of the job and expended money and energy in the work.
	Rita is correct. The contract was breached. No payment is required
	The contract was substantially performed and thus Quantum Meruit would be required.
	Quantum Meruit is required as no purchase price was discussed.

Answer 1

The contract was substantially performed and thus Quantum Meruit would be required.
