A hotelier owned a hotel and the surrounding land. A portion of the land immediately behind the hotel was unused, and the hotelier wanted to develop it and install an in-ground pool. She contacted a general contractor in January, and the parties agreed that the contractor would build out a large terrace complete with a fifty-foot in-ground pool. They agreed to a price of $400,000, with the contract to be completed before March 15, payable upon completion of the work. The hotelier stressed to the contractor the importance of completing the work before March 15 because that was when her vacation season began and she planned a special advertisement of the pool terrace to boost sales. The hotelier paid the contractor the $150,000 initial payment, but the contractor abandoned the job in late January without performing any work on the site. The hotelier hired a second contractor in February, who charged her $550,000 to complete the job. Despite the rush, the terrace was not ready until April 15, and the hotelier lost $70,000 in net profit due to documented reservation cancellations because of the unfinished construction. Required:
