Every year, there is some form of construction work going on at UF's campus. In January 2018, bids were opened for a new building on campus for UFPD. The bid/construction value of the building was set at $5 Million. Another building of similar structure and purpose is planned with a bid opening in January 2023. What is the expected bid for the new building? It is given that in January 2000, the Florida Construction Cost Index had a value of 5550, while in January 2018, that value was 8000. You can use these price indices to calculate an average inflation in construction costs.

Company sells titanium alloy fasteners for airframe applications. The fasteners sell in packets of 1000 units, which each packet selling for $145. The company's total cost function is:TC = 3,200,000 + 0.002 Q^2,in which Q is expressed in packets produced per year and TC in dollars per year.What is company's annual profit if the quantity of packets produced and sold per year is 50,000?
Problem statement A construction company is planning their projects for the year 2023. The company is considering the construction of 20 buildings, each is 3,000 m². In 2018, they have built 8 similar buildings but with smaller areas, and the material costs associated with those 8 buildings are shown in the following table: Building # 1 2 3 4 5 Area (m²) 1,430 1,475 1,655 1,790 1,961 6 7 8 427,696 456,126 461,765 The materials cost index values are as shown in the following table: Year 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2,015 2,375 2,533 Cost ($) 350,350 358,326 385,922 399,387 419,004 Cost index 321 332 348 368 379 398 406 In 2019, the company began constructing larger units (3,000 m² units compared to those in 2018 as shown in the first table). The labor hours required to complete the first 3,000 m² unit was 24,000 hours but the labor hours decreased exponentially with time due to the experience gained by workers at a 90% learning slope until reaching the 15th unit, after which a…

US Airways owns a piece of land near the Pittsburgh International Airport. The land originally cost USAirways $375,000. The airline is considering building a new training center on this land. US Airwaysdetermined that the proposal the new facility is acceptable if the original cost of the land is used in theanalysis, but the proposal does not meet the airline’s project acceptance criteria if the land cost is above$850,000. A developer recently offered US Airways $2.5 million for the land.Explain fully if US Airways should build the training facility at this location or not.
Economic Dispatch Question It is required to investigate the economic dispatch of three power plants located in the western part of Victoria. The total load (PD) to be supplied by those power plants is 1500 MW. Assume the cost functions and the generation limits for these power plants are as follows. 350+ 4.2 P₁ + 0.006 P² 600 + 3.1 P₂ + 0.004 P² 500+ 4.2 P3 +0.007 P3 a) b) c) Plant 1: C₁ Plant 2: C₂ Plant 3: C3 = = = 150 ≤ P₁ ≤ 550 350 ≤ P₂ ≤ 700 120 ≤P3 ≤ 400 If the total load is shared among the three power plants equally, what is power generation of each power plant and what is the total operating cost in $/hr in this case. Find the optimal (economic) dispatch of each plant, the incremental operating cost 1, and the total operation cost in $/hr. (You don't need to use the iteration method). If it is expected that those power plant will operate in average 18 hrs a day, how much saving in cost if the economic dispatch operation with shared power operation (in part a).
A construction crew (that is currently unemployed and receiving $10/hr. in benefits) to fix a road. The cement is purchased from a rip-off monopolist that charges $10/bag more than anyone else. The Follow-up maintenance will be done after 1 year, using a different crew that we will assume is not unemployed. We will also assume the interest rate is 7%. The cost estimate provided by the contractor’s accountant is given in the table below: ITEM Quantity Wage Price Total Labor 1,000 hours $20/hour $20,000 Cement 500 $50 $25,000 Follow up maint. 500 $20/hr $10,000 Project Total $55,000 The opportunity cost of the project is Group of answer choices $55,000 $41,000 $39,000 $33,000
