A contractor who does not meet the deadline on the construction of a building is fined P8,000.00 per day for each of the first ten days of extra time, and for each additional day thereafter the fine is increased by P1,600.00 each day. If the contractor is fined P201,600.00, by how much extra days was the construction time delayed?
Kindly show the detailed solution.
1. Assume that the following goals have been established for a transportation planning study.Goal 1: The transportation system should provide mobility for all segments of the population.Goal 2: The transportation system should minimize the impact on the natural environment.Define at least three objectives for each goal that could be used to achieve the stated purpose.
2. From the sketch below, calculate the interzonal trips due to 450 work trips produced at zone i. There are 750 attractions at zone 1, 400 attractions at zone 2, and 300 attractions at zone 3. The exponent of travel time is 0.6 and the travel times are 9 minutes to zone 1, 5 minutes to zone 2, and 7 minutes to zone 3. Assume all socioeconomic adjustment factors and the value of C are equal to 1.0.
