Question

You are within two weeks of turnover of a three-story build-to-suit office building project. Many of the city inspections are complete and it appears that a certificate of occupancy (C of O) will be obtained on time. Only the fire protection, elevator, and life safety inspections remain. The mechanical, electrical, fire protection and life safety were all design-build systems. During the punch list, it is discovered that the fire protection subcontractor has installed a different type of sprinkler head on each floor. The first floor uses concealed heads with white escutcheons to match the ceiling tiles. The second floor uses decorative chrome heads. The subcontractor installed semi-recessed heads on the third floor. This was not picked up prior as a person cannot physically see more than one floor at a time. The client is very upset. Questions: 1. Can you require the subcontractor to change them all out now? 2. Would this be a good move given the status of the inspections? 3. Who is responsible to check and approve the shop drawings and submittals for design-build subcontractors? 4. What should the general Contractor have done to prevent this from happening? 5. What can you do now?

Assume that a production line operates such that the production lot size model of  is applicable. Assume that D = 6,500 units per year, Co = $120, and Ch = $3 per unit per year.

a. i. 8,300 units per year
ii. 11,000 units per year
iii. 34,500 units per year
iv. 90,000 units per year
If required, round your answers to the nearest whole number.
i. P = 8,300 Q* =
ii. P = 11,000 Q* =
iii. P = 34,500 Q* =
iv. P = 90,000 Q* =
b. Compute the EOQ recommended lot size using equation
If required, round your answer to the nearest whole number.
Q* =



Comparing the EOQ lot size to the production lot sizes in parts i, ii, iii, and iv, what two observations can you make about the relationship between the EOQ model and the production lot size model?

Production Lot Size Q* is always (Greater or less)  than the EOQ Q* with the same D, Co, and Ch

As the production rate P (Increases or decreases) , the recommended Q* decreases, but always remains (Greater or Less)

than the EOQ Q*.

So long as a breach of the peace does not result, a lender may repossess goods on the debtor’s default under the self-help provision of Article 9. Do you think that debtors have a right to be told in advance about a planned repossession? Some observers argue that the self-help remedy under Article 9 should be abolished. Do you agree? Why or why not?

A group of music lovers in a large urban area incorporate a company, Mozart Holdings Ltd., in order to purchase land and build a music hall that they claim will be “a glittering jewel in the cultural crown” of the city. The corporation selects an architectural firm that will design the building, a construction company that will construct the music hall, and chooses other suppliers who will provide goods and services necessary to the planning and development of a unique structure. One of the contracts that Mozart enters into is with an artist, Paige Presley, who is commissioned to produce an artistic work for the main lobby of the music hall. Presley is to be paid the sum of $50 000 for the work, and Mozart stipulates that the work is to be in any medium, but it must be permanently affixed to the north wall of the lobby, and must be of a size no less than 10 metres by 15 metres. The artist and the corporation enter into a written contract whereby the artist agrees to create the artistic work, warrants that it is her original work, and transfers the work to Mozart Holdings Ltd., in consideration of payment of the agreed‐upon contract price. No mention is made of moral rights. Presley designs and creates an artistic work that is an abstracted representation of musicians, musical instruments and musical notes on a scale. The work is created out of a series of more than two hundred 30 cm by 30 cm ceramic tiles that are made by the artist by hand and fired in her kiln in her studio. The artist and two assistants install the work on the north wall of the lobby, in time for the official opening of the music hall. The work is titled “The Song of Ages.” Presley attends the official opening for the music hall, at which many dignitaries are present. Media representatives are present, and photographers take pictures of the lobby, the people present, and Presley’s artistic work. At a table in the lobby, Presley notices a brochure that solicits funds from donors, asking them to contribute to the operation of the music hall. Donors are promised various “gifts” for donations at different levels of giving, ranging from music CDs for donations of $50 to $100, up to the “benefactor” level. Those who make a donation at the benefactor level will have their name inscribed in one of the tiles that form the work “The Song of Ages.”

Question: Presley is incensed and embarrassed that her art would be defaced in this fashion. She considers commencing a court action, seeking an injunction. Evaluate the situation and advise what chances of success she has and on what grounds?
