The answer is: 3) he will be entitled to consequential damages in the amount of $250

Explanation:

Consequential damages are damages that a plaintiff can prove he or she incurred because the defendant failed to perform his contractual obligations. Consequential damages are not limited to the contract itself, but follow the consequences from the failure to fulfill.
