X and Y contract for X to build Y a house for $150,000. Later, without terminating the first contract, X and Y modify that contract so that Y will pay X $175,000. In return, X promises to build exactly the same house, but one day earlier than in the previous contract. Assume that all the other elements of a contract besides consideration are present; this is a consideration question. This second contract:

a. Is not binding because it is unliquidated.
b. Is not binding because X is promising to perform a preexisting legal obligation.
c. Is not binding because the earlier completion date is inadequate consideration for $25,000.
d. Is a binding contract.

Your goal is to have $2,000,000. you have a total of $40,000 today. you invest the $40,000 and want to add to it each month. at 10% annual interest, how much do you need to invest each month in order to bring the total up to $2,000,000 30 years from now?
