Professor Emmers is looking to form a team of crime fighting superheroes and superheroines. He looks around his local campus for students with extraordinary superpowers. Roberta, a student who seems quite impressive, asks to join the team. Professor Emmers says “yes” and lets Roberta know that she will have to pay rent for the nice apartment, which Professor Emmers will lease to her at a very low rate of $30 per month (far below the market rate); and all of the rent is to be paid at the end of the lease. Roberta agrees. After a few months, Professor Emmers learns that Roberta had recently turned 17. For insurance reasons, Professor Emmers removes Roberta from the team and demands that she pay back the $25 for the cost of the uniform (which she can keep) and $90 for the housing she received. Upset, Professor Emmers also demands $100 in punitive damages because Roberta had not volunteered the information that she, a college junior, was, when she entered her agreement with Professor Emmers, only 16 years old. How much will Professor Emmers recover from Roberta?
