Question 1
Paris planned to celebrate her birthday with a party on 27 November 2017. On 1 November, she agreed with the Sun Hotel to hire its ‘Orangery’ annexe for the party. The contract required the payment of $5,000 immediately, which Paris paid, and a further payment of $10,000 by 14 November. On 4 November, the Sun Hotel spent $2,000 relocating orange trees in preparation for the event. On 8 November, a colony of bats settled in the Orangery. The Sun Hotel rang the local authority to ask whether the bats could be removed. The local authority said that the bats could not be disturbed and that it would therefore be illegal to use the Orangery while the bats were in it. Paris was immediately notified but, despite her protests, was told that no refund could be made, as the contract had no provision for this eventuality.
Required a. Define what is meant by frustration of a contract.
b. Identify the types of frustrating event with reference to relevant legal cases.
c. Explain whether the contract between the Sun Hotel and Paris has been frustrated.
d. Explain whether Paris can recover any or all of the $5,000 payment made to the Sun Hotel and is liable to pay the further payment of $10,000.

Rewrite the following text using the correct tone and style to create goodwill.
I am writing to you because I want to complain about the horrible service that I endured during my stay at your hotel last weekend.
The porter took such a long time to send my luggage up to my room and he even dared to ask me for a tip. The air-conditioner was also very noisy, and I could not have my beauty sleep which is very important to me. When I called to complain, I was told that it could not be fixed as all maintenance staff was on leave. The service at the restaurants was also so slow and the food was also cold and tasteless. What kind of hotel is this calling yourself as a famous world known 5-star hotel?
I want you to give me a refund of RM 8,888 for the amount that I paid for the room for two nights inclusive of personal damages. I will never stay at your hotel ever again. I am social influencer and if you don't give me a refund, I will post on my social media accounts to boycott your hotel!

opens at 08:00 am, at which time vehicles begin to arrive at a rate
of 480 veh/hr. after
20 minutes the arrival flow rate declines at 120 veh/hr, and it
continues at that level
for the remainder of the day. If the time required to distribute
the brochure is 15
seconds and assuming D/D/1 queue,
a. Determine the maximum length of queue that occurred.
b. How long did it take to dissipate the queue?
c. What is the average delay per vehicle?
Show all necessary solutions and diagram
2.) Consider the entrance to the recreational park
described in the previous question.
However, assuming that the average arrival rate is 180 veh/hr and
Poisson-distributed

period from park opening
time, 08:00 am until closing at dusk. Compute
