Focus 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?
PROBLEM NO. 1:
The cost of producing a commodity consists of P35 per unit of labor, P42 per unit of materials, and P10 per unit for other variable costs. Cost
of utilities and rents amounts to P850,000 per month. If the commodity is sold at P310 each;
(a) What is the profit/loss if 3369 units were sold?
(b) How many pieces must be produced each month for the manufacturer to breakeven?

She needs help in understanding cost-effectiveness analysis because she knows from the instructor’s review session that a CEA problem will be on the exam. There is time for using only one method of assistance before the exam; she must select well. In a rapid process of estimation, she determines how many minutes it would take for each method of assistance and how many points it might gain for her on the final. The method and estimates follow.
