- A civil engineer has 2 alternative designs for a house. a. Design 1 calls for a workforce consisting of 5 men each costing P400/day. This design will be finished in 4 months. b. Design 2 calls for a workforce consisting of 10 men each costing P370/day and is expected to be finished in 3 months. In addition, there will be a project engineer who will supervise the work and will be paid P800/day. Disregarding material cost, how much is the total salary expenses for Design 1 and for Design 2? Assume that there are 24 working days in a month.Using an Engineering Economics FormulaList the four principles of engineering economics?
- N5 The following data is provided for a PPP project. To the People To the Government Benefits $130,000 per year beginning now Cost $1.8 million now and $200,000 every 3 years Disbenefits $45,000 per year Savings $90,000 per year Calculate the conventional benefit/cost ratios using an interest rate of 6% per year and an infinite project period.Answer the c and d optionsSITUATION3: Under the data collected from the office of Department of Transportation and DPWH over the last 5 years indicate that for each fatality, there are 40 non-fatal injury accidents ($1500 present cost each) and 300 property damage accidents ($2000 present cost each). What is the breakeven value of statistical Me (VSL) needed to justify a highway project if i is 8%? The death rate on a particular three-lane road is 8 per 100 million vehicle-miles. Adding a lane would reduce this to 5 per million, and other accidents would cost $1.5M per mile to build, and annual maintenance would be 3% of the first cost. Assume that the lane would last 40 years. The road carries 10000 vehicle per day. Use reduction factor of 3/8 for all accidents. (Non-CE students no need to answer this item).
