Answer:
a. Gerard’s contract is voidable at his option while it is entirely executory.
Explanation:
In the United States of America, one of the most widely used recognized and most cited legal treatises is the Restatement of Contracts. It allows legal luminaries (judges and lawyers) to have a general understanding of non-binding authorities in contract or common law.

Hence, under the Restatement, Gerard’s contract is voidable at his option while it is entirely executory.

Answer:
$106,595
Explanation:
Given:
Initial market rate = 9%
Dropped market interest rate, r = 7% per year
or
= 7% × [6 ÷ 12]
= 3.5% = 0.035
Remaining time, n = 9 years = 18 semi annual periods
Now,
Value of the bond at the retirement
= [ PVAF × Interest payment] + [ PVF × face value]
here,
Present value of annuity factor, PVAF = 
or
PVAF = 
or
PVAF = 13.189
And,
Interest payment = $100,000 × 8% × [6 ÷ 12 ] [since, 8% bonds]
= $4000
Present value factor = 
= 0.538
par value = $100,000
= [13.189 × $40] + [0.538 × 100,000]
= 52,758.7316 + 53,836.114
= $106,595
Hence,
The correct answer is option $106,595
