How did the romans influence the world when it comes to road building construction? 2. Would you think that the procedures of Macadam are still in use up to this day? 3. According to W. Gillepse, "A minimum of expenses is of course, highly desirable; but the road which is truly the cheapest is not the one which has cost the least money, but the one which makes the most profitable returns in proportion to the amount expended upon it." Explain the quote based on his economic views.

A client plans to construct a manufacturing plant that involves multiple engineering disciplines. Calculate the total engineering fees including taxes based on the following: Mechanical Works, $1,540,000 Electrical Works, $1,780,000 Earth Works, $950,000 Civil Works, $2,125,100 Environmental Works, $1,325,000 Basis B fees = 9% There are no office fees Taxes = 13%

Calculate the capitalized cost of a project that has an initial cost of P3,500,000 and an additional investment cost of P2,000,000 at the end of every twelve years. The annual operating cost will be P80,000 at the end of every year for the first four years and P175,000 thereafter. In addition, there is expected to be a recurring major rework cost of P250,000 every 14 years. Assume i = 13%. Kindly answer this Engineering economy problem and show the cash flow diagram.
A light manufacturing firm has set up a project for develop- ing a new machine for one of its production lines. The most likely estimated cost of the project itself is $1,000,000, but the most optimistic estimate is $900,000 while the pessimists predict a project cost of $1,200,000. The real problem is that even if the project costs are within those limits, if the project itself plus its implementation costs exceed $1,425,000, the project will not meet the firm’s NPV hurdle. There are four cost categories involved in adding the prospective new machine to the production line: (1) engineering labor cost, (2) nonengineering labor cost, (3) assorted material cost, and (4) production line downtime cost. The engineering labor requirement has been estimated to be 600 hours, plus or minus 15 percent at a cost of $80 per hour. The nonengineering labor requirement is esti- mated to be 1,500 hours, but could be as low as 1,200 hours or as high as 2,200 hours at a cost of $35 per hour. Assorted…
