EXPLAIN YOUR ANSWER COMPREHENSIVELY. Mr. Jobert commissioned you to estimate the construction of a certain structure. As Engineers, our job includes giving detailed estimate inclusive of labor and materials. If approved, the contract for building the structure will be awarded to you. However, Mr. Jobert already had a previous consultation with Prudencio, an independent foreman, who offered labor and services at a cheaper price. How will you convince Mr. Jobert to engage in your services instead of Prudencio's? Cite applicable provisions of the Code of Ethics for such situation

Calculate the cost per cubic yard to place concrete using each of the alternatives described. The work in both cases consists of placing 140 cubic yards of concrete in footings. a. Using a crane and bucket at a price of $225 per hour, including an operator, with a crew consisting of 6 laborers, a cement finisher, and a foreman. The concrete will be placed in 7 hours using this setup, and transportation of the crane costs $390. b. Using a concrete pump at a price of $295 per hour, including an operator and a crew consisting of 5 laborers, a cement finisher, and a foreman. With this setup, concrete is placed in 6 hours and transportation of the pump costs $290.

It is a well-known principle that the engineer should not tell the contractor how to do the work; but, if the engineer observes that the contractor’s construction methods appear to be unable to meet the specifications,what should the engineer do?
True or false? If an inspector discovers that the work of a subcontractor is deficient, he or she should direct the subcontractor to make the necessary corrections, then tell the General Contractor what was done.
What are the two factors that should be kept in mind before a contractor proposes a substitution?
please solve this perfectly. subject: : Project Planning, Management & Engineering Economics. A road building contractor has received a major highway construction contract that will require 50,000 m3 of crushed stone each year for 5 years. The needed stone can be obtained from a quarry for S5.80/m3. As an alternative, the contractor has decided to try and purchase the quarry. He believes that if he owned the quarry, the stone would only cost him $4.30/m3. He thinks he could resell the quarry at-the end of 5 years for $40,000. If the contractor uses a 10% interest rate, evaluate how much would he be willing to pay for the quarry?
On January 1, 1978, the purchasing engineer of a Cement Co. purchased a new machine at a cost of140,000. Depreciation has been computed by the straight-line method based on an estimated useful lifeof five years and residual scrap value of 12,800. On January 2, 1981, extraordinary repairs (which werealmost equivalent to a rebuilding of machinery) were performed at a cost of 30,400. Because of thethorough going nature of these repairs, the normal life of the machinery was extended materially. Therevised estimate of useful life was four years from January 1, 1981.Determine the annual provision for depreciation for the years 1978 to 1980 and the adjusted provisionfor depreciation on December 31, 1981. Assume payment in cash for the machine and extraordinaryrepairs. construct a straight line method
