Joe and Sam entered into a valid and enforceable contract for building a bookcase, with a specific completion date and price. However, they later modified the contract by agreeing to an earlier completion date for an additional $50. If Sam completes the bookcase to specifications by February 8, he is entitled to the full price of $450, as per the modified contract. If Joe refuses to pay, Sam has the right to sue for breach of contract and recover the unpaid amount, as well as any other damages resulting from the breach.
