An architect-engineering firm is planning a parking lot to accommodate 500 vehicles. Each parking space will be 8.5 feet × 15 feet. It has been estimated that the space required for aisles will be 80% of the space required for parking. A local paving company charges $10 per square foot for paving and a flat fee of $12,000 for marking and painting the individual parking spaces. Based on this information, what is the estimated cost of paving and marking this parking lot?
Mirtha owns an online jewelry store that specializes in earrings. In March, she sells 50 pairs of earrings priced at $15. The cost of materials to create the 50 pairs of earrings was $100. The website she uses to sell her wares costs her $10 a month, and she is also charged 4% on each sale by the company that processes debit/credit card purchases.
Which of the following best represents Mirth’s total cost?
Group of answer choices
A)The $750 Mirtha earned from earring sales minus the materials ($100), online website charge ($10), and payment processing charge (4%)
B)The sum of the materials ($100), website charge ($10), and 4% payment processing charge (4%)
C)The cost of all the materials used to create the earrings, $100
D)The costs of materials minus the costs it takes to run her business through the online store, in this case the $10 website charges and the 4% payment processing charge

- Your boss is the director of reporting for the Athens County Construction Agency (ACCA). It has been his job to track the cost of construction in Athens County. Twentyfive years ago, he created the ACCA Cost Index to track those costs. Costs during the first year of the index were $14 per square foot of constructed space (the index value was set at 100 for that first year). This year a survey of contractors revealed that costs were $70 per square foot. (a) What index number will your boss publish in his report for this year? (b) If the index value was 500 last year, what was the cost per square foot last year?arrow_forward= 2. The cost of operating a jet-powered commercial (passenger- carrying) airplane varies as the three-halves (3/2) power of its velocity; specifically, Co kny3/2, where n is the trip length in miles, k is a constant of proportionality, and vis velocity in miles per hour. It is known that at 400 miles per hour, the average cost of operation is $300 per mile. The company that owns the aircraft wants to minimize the cost of operation, but that cost must be balanced against the cost of the passengers' time (CC), which has been set at $300,000 per hour. At what velocity should the trip be planned to minimize the total cost, which is the sum of the cost of operating the airplane and the cost of passengers' time?arrow_forwardIn connection with surfacing a new highway, a contractor has a choice of two sites on which to set up the asphalt-mixing plant equipment. The contractor estimates that it will cost $1.25 per cubic yard mile (yd3 –mile) to haul the asphalt-paving material from the mixing plant to the job location. Factors relating to the two mixing sites are as follows: (See pic) The job requires 50,000 cubic yards of mixed-asphalt-paving material. It is estimated that four months (17 weeks of five working days per week) will be required for the job. Compare the two sites in terms of their total costs. Assume that the cost of the return trip is negligible. A) Which is the better site? B) For the selected site, how many cubic yards of paving material does the contractor have to deliver before staring to make a profit if paid $8.35 per cubic yard delivered to the job location?arrow_forward
