ENGR 301 Assignment 3 solution

3-1 Price now = $89,500 (207.6/163.6) = $113,570.90 Answer $113,000 is closest

3-2 – 3-3
Overhead Personal time Hourly
Name Hours Total direct labour cost
rate rate rate
Nadia 60 1.75 1.1 20 $2310
John 80 1.55 1.12 40 $5555.2 (Answer John)
Saba 80 1.75 1.1 36 $5544
Kumar 40 1.55 1.12 20 $1388.8
Project total = $14,798 (Answer $14,800 closest)

3-4 – 3-6 Need to find both T1 and b, given that T2 = 28.6 = Tinit 2b and T3 = 28.2 = Tinit 3b
b
T2 28.6  2   28.6  2 0.006117

T3 28.2  3   28.2  3  0.17609

3-4 Tinit = 28.6/2b = 28.6/2–0.03474 = 29.3 hours Answer 29.3 is closest

3-5 T50 = 29.3 * 50–0.03474 = 25.6 hours Answer 25.5 is closest

T4 = 29.3 * 4–0.03474 = 27.9 hours

Total labour hours to produce first four units = 29.3 + 28.6 + 28.2 + 27.9 = 114 hours.

3-6 Total labour costs = 114 * $18 = $2052 Answer $2050 is closest

3-7 – 3-10 as given below

3-7 Adjustment for capacity based on the exponential law:

Factor is: (50/60)0.67 = (0.833)0.67 = 0.885 Answer 0.90 is closest

3-8 Adjustment for inflation leads to the cost in 2007 dollars:

Factor is: (1.04)6 = 1.265 Answer 1.27 is closest

3-9 Adjustment for location index:

Factor is: 1.24/1.17 = 1.06 Answer 1.07 is closest


Typical cost excluding the additional cost due to poor site conditions in Vancouver

$50 million – $3 million = $ 47 million

($47 million) (50/60)0.67 (1.04)6 (1.24/1.17) = $55.781 million

Adjustment for the additional filter at Ureka plant gives

$55.781 million + $4 million = $59.781 million

3-10 Taking into account the 12% increase in cost due to construction in winter conditions gives the
following order of magnitude estimate of the water treatment in Ureka

($59.781)(1+0.12) = $66.955 million Answer $65 million is closest
