Your company was hired to renovate this old grain silo.  You need to compile a quote for bidding the following tasks. 1.  The foundation is cracked and will need to be repoured. The silo is 40 feet in diameter, and the foundation will need to be 6 inches (.5 feet) thick.  First find the volume of the foundation.  Then find the cost if material is $1/cu ft and labor is a flat $300. 2.  Next the walls will need to be painted barn red to the height of 100 feet (ignore the dome). One gallon covers 1000 sq ft of surface, how many gallons must be purchased?  If each gallon cost $30, and labor is a flat $1500, how much is this portion of the job? 3.  Last, we are instructed to fill the silo with grain. How many cu ft of grain can fit into the silo?  If we charge $0.02 per cu ft, what is this portion of the job cost? 4.  Find the total bid.

1. 

Given data:

Diameter of silo d = 40 ft; Radius r = 20 ft

Depth of foundation h = 0.5 ft

Cost of material = $1/ft3

Cost of labor = $300

 

Volume of silo:

V=πr2h=π×202×0.5=628.32 ft3

 

Cost of material and labor:

P=$1×628.32+$300=928.32$930
