Rahim called Peter to act as his agent to buy a large quantity of face mask. Since Peter knows the suitable supplier, he agrees to do so.

Should not exceed RM300 Colour: Black and Blue only Due to high demand for face mask, Peter managed to found only one supplier who can supply the 3,000 face mask but for the price of RM7 per box i.e. RM420 for 60 boxes and the colour are not only black and blue but also mix with yellow, purple, red and brown. Peter agreed to buy the face mask in that quantity, price and colour and entered into a contract with the supplier on behalf of Rahim.
