 Avengers Pty Ltd hires a machine from Hydra Ltd. The machine

Avengers Pty Ltd hires a machine from Hydra Ltd. The machine has been Marks negligently maintained by Hydra. It breaks down and Avengers Pty Ltd is faced with the potential closure of its factory for weeks until the machine is replaced by a new one. Instead of buying the machine, Avengers Pty Ltd decided to hire a replacement, which cost $5,000 but Avengers Pty Ltd is forced to close its factory for a week until the replacement machine is delivered. Normal losses amount to $1000 a day, and the factory usually operates seven days a week. Avengers Pty Ltd was closed for an additional two weeks due to a government imposed COVID lockdown - leading to an additional $14,000 loss of income. The company has also lost a lucrative government contract worth a further $50,000. If Hydra Lid is found to have breached the contract, calculate the amount of damages Avengers Pty Ltd can claim
