- Please answer number 3.Engineering Economicsarrow_forwardQ4. Steel cable barriers in highway medians are a low cost way to improve traffic safety without overstressing department of transportation budgets. Cable barriers cost $44,000 per mile, compared with $72,000 per mile for guardrail and $419,000 per mile for concrete barriers. Furthermore, cable barriers tend to snag tractor-trailer rigs, keeping them from ricocheting back into same-direction traffic. The state of Ohio spent $4.97 million installing 113 miles of cable barriers. Answer the following using both tabulated factors and a spreadsheet function. (a) If the cable barriers prevent accidents totaling $1.3 million per year, what rate of return does this represent over a 10-year study period? (b) What is the rate of return for 113 miles of guardrail if accident prevention is $1.1 million per year over a 10-year study period?arrow_forwardFocus on the difference between feasible alternatives. Insulated concrete forms (ICF) can be used as a substitute for conventional wood framing in building construction. Heating and cooling bills will be about 50% less than in a similar wood-framed building in upstate New York. An ICF home will be approximately 10% more expensive to construct than a wood-framed home. For a typical 2,000 ft2 home costing $120 per ft2 to construct in upstate New York and costing $200 per month to heat and cool, how many months does it take for a 2,000 ft2 ICF home to pay back its extraconstruction cost?arrow_forward
