An equipment installation job in the completion stage can be completed in 40 days if 8 hours work per day with 40 men working. With the contract expiring in 30 days, the mechanical engineer contractor decided to add 10 more men on the job, overtime not being permitted. If the liquidated damages is ₱2,000 per day of delay, and the men are paid ₱80.00 a day, will the engineer be able to complete the job on time? Would he save money by adding more men?
