Question 4(Total: 14 marks)
The Trump International Hotel & Tower is a five-star hotel located in downtown Toronto. The hotel’s operations vice president would like to replace the hotel’s legacy computer terminals at the registration desk with attractive state-of-the-art flat-panel displays. The new displays would take less space, consume less power than the old computer terminals, and provide additional security, since they can be viewed only from a restrictive angle. The new computer displays would not require any new wiring. However, the hotel’s chef believes the funds would be better spent on a new bulk freezer for the kitchen.
