Distinguish between the concepts of frustration of purpose, commercial impracticability, and impossibility.

Instructions

COVID-19 has changed our daily lives in many ways. The measures that governments have taken to slow the spread of this virus have been unexpected and unprecedented. Restaurants had to stop serving dine-in customers. This loss of revenue resulted in local restaurants and even nationwide chains like Cheesecake Factory to notify landlords that rent would not be paid. The travel industry has also been affected with canceled flights and cruises. Many concerts and sporting events have also been canceled. In some cases, a sporting event will be held but without spectators and the revenue they bring.

In some instances, discharge from contractual responsibilities is obvious. If you purchased a vacation on a cruise ship and the cruise company cancels the sailing, they owe you a refund and the contract is discharged. Other situations are not as simple. Suppose you own a graphics design company, BIG Designs, that designs and installs advertisements and billboards. Back in January 2020, you were very excited to sign a $10,000 contract with the city to publicize a series of concerts in the parks. The ads and billboards would be installed in March to advertise the start of the concert series in April so BIG Designs started working on designs right away. By March, your designs were finished. However, when you contacted the city for final approval of the designs, the city informed you that the concert series was canceled because the state government ordered that gatherings in public must be limited to 10 people or less. In an essay of at least 500 words answer the following questions. This word count does not include citations to your sources in APA format. Citations are required if you use sources in your writing. Without citations and appropriate attribution of quotations and other information, I will consider your work to be in violation of the CPCC student academic integrity policy. You will receive a zero for the assignment and possibly additional disciplinary action.

Explain the concepts of frustration of purpose, commercial impracticability, and impossibility. In particular, explain how they differ and whether they result in discharge of contractual responsibilities.

Assume BIG Designs has not yet been paid and that no signs or billboards have been fabricated yet. Does the city still owe BIG Designs a payment for advertisements that cannot be used? If so, how much is owed? Using the concepts in #1, explain your reasoning.

Endeavor Communications, a long distance provider, is reevaluating its account management department for handling customer service questions and requests. During the 6:00 pm to 10:00pm time period, past data hat calls to the account management department occur at an average rate of one call every 6.5 minutes. A study of past service times indicate that the average time to process a caller's question/request is 4.3 minutes. Like other phone systems, when a call comes in and all the servers are busy, the caller hears a message telling them to hold until the next server is available Top management at Endeavor Communications understands that the staffing decision involves the analysis of trade-offs. Increasing the number of servers will reduce the waiting times and increase the probability of immediate service at a higher cost with more idle time for the servers. Management has decided that the GOAL of the account management department is to immediately answer and service at least 90% of the incoming calls during the busiest time period of 6:00 to 10:00pm. They have asked you to determine the staffing level that will help them meet this goal. Also, they'd like you to provide your own recommendations. 1. What are the arrival and service rates in Calls per MINUTE? Use the spreadsheet to calculate these: A. (calls per minute) = (calls per minute) = 2. Since you are not required to perform the calculations in the case of multiple servers, you are provided with these results in the table that follows. You DO need to determine the information for the case of one server and RHO for 2 and 3 servers, Please fill in the chart below based on the numbers you calculate using your EXCEL FILE which can be found under LabEx Files on the course webpage.
