Your employer asks you to design a bridge that will not exceed $1 million to build. After doing a study you determine the following: An ideal bridge can be built for $1.5 million. Given the design constraints, a bridge built for $1 million will collapse in a moderate earthquake. Your employer says; “if we don’t build the bridge for $1 million, then we are going to have to fire half of the staff, including you.” He further asks you to go ahead with the next stage of the project.
