In a construction project, as in problem 1, effective cash needed before payment is received from the owner during the month of May will depend on which two factors (select all that apply a) Positive total cash generated after payment is received from the owner during April b) All out-of-pocket costs during May c) Labor costs during May d) Positive total cash generated after payment is received from the owner during May X Section/Time:

1. A project your firm is considering for implementation has these estimated costs and revenues: an investment cost of $50,000; maintenance costs that start at $5,000 at the end of year (EOY) 1 and increase by $1,000 for each of the next 4 years, and then remain constant for the following 5 years; savings of $20,000 per year (EOY 1-10); and finally a resale value of $35,000 at the EOY 10. If the project has a 10-year life and the firm's MARR is 10% per year, what is the present worth of the project? Is it a sound investment opportunity? 2. A toll bridge across the Mississippi River is being considered as a replacement for the current 1-40 bridge linking Tennessee to Arkansas. Because this bridge, if approved, will become a part of the U.S. Interstate Highway system, the B-C ratio method must be applied in the evaluation. Investment costs of the structure are estimated to be $17,500,000 and $325,000 per year in operating and maintenance costs are anticipated. In addition, the bridge…

The contractor implements last planner on the project. During week 1, the following tasks are planned and committed by different subcontractors. At the end of week 1, the status of the tasks is also shown in the following table. What is the percent plan complete (PPC) for week 1? Explain what PPC measures?     Committed on Completion Progress Completion? Mobilize Yes 100% Yes Install Security Fence Yes 100% Yes Set Forms Yes 80% No Excavate Planter Foundation Yes 100% Yes Construct Masonry Planter Yes 50% No

1* Suppose you are a project manager of a power plant project and there is a penalty in your contract with the main client for every day you deliver the project late. You need to decide which sub-contractor is appropriate for your projects critical path activities. But while selecting a sub-contractor, you should take into consideration the costs and delivery dates.Sub-contractor 1 bids $250,000. You estimate that there is a 30% possibility of completing 60 days late. As per your contract with the client, you must pay a delay penalty of $5,000 per calendar day for every day you deliver late.Sub-contractor 2 bids $320,000. You estimate that there is a 10% possibility of completing 20 days late. As per your contract with the client, you must pay a delay penalty of $5,000 per calendar day for every day you deliver late.You need to determine which sub-contractor is appropriate for your projects critical path activities. Both sub-contractors promise successful delivery and high-quality…

11. Discuss what is the best source for labor and equipment unit prices that will be used in developing an estimate? Explain your answer in detail. 12. Discuss what impact will an inaccurate progress estimate have on cash flow? 13. Discuss the reasons change order work costs more than work in the original scope? 14. Discuss why the inclusion of subcontractors and other stakeholders a key part of the planning process? 15. Discuss the drawbacks to beginning-to-end planning. 16. Discuss what are the advantages of top-down planning over beginning-to-end planning?

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%

5. Assume a project where all possible receipts and payments, including the retention, are due one month after the project ends. For this project, the total amount of cash generated one month after the project have been received and all bills have been paid) will be equal to a. Gross profit b. Net profit c. Project contract amount d. General overhead over (when all payments

1. Explain in detail the effect on project indirect costs when a job is lengthened and when it is shortened. 2. In any given construction scenario a limited number of days can be taken out of the schedule before it becomes impractical to try to shorten the schedule further. Though it is impractical to take the exercise to the theoretical limit of shortening, there is a theoretical limit that prevents any further shortening of the project. What defines this theoretical limit, and what conditions exist in the schedule when this limit is reached?

The earned value report of a construction project shows that the cost performance index is 1.1. In addition, the budgeted cost of work scheduled is $300,000 whereas the schedule variance is -$100,000. The cost variance of the project is most nearly O 72,000 18,000 200,000 O 33,000
