Cost Behavior, Classification Smith Concrete Company owns enough ready-mix trucks to deliver up to 102,500 cubic yards of concrete per year (considering each truck's capacity, weather, and distance to each job). Total truck depreciation is $400,000 per year. Raw materials (cement, gravel, and so on) cost about $65 per cubic yard of cement Required: 1. On your own paper, prepare a graph for truck depreciation. Use the vertical axis for cost and the horizontal axis for cubic yards of cement....
V. (8 points) Consider casting a concrete driveway 40 feet long, 12 feet wide and 6 in. thick. The proportions of the mix by weight are given as 1:2:3 for cement, sand, and gravel with w/c of 0.50. The specific gravities of sand and gravel are 2.60 and 2.70 respectively. Entrained air content is 7.5%. How many pounds of cement, water, sand, and gravel are needed for the driveway?
2. A civil engineer involved in construction requires 4800, 5800, and 5700 m2 of sand, fine gravel, and coarse gravel, respectively, for a building project. There are three pits from which these materials can be obtained as shown in the following table: Pits Sand Fine Gravel Coarse Gravel % % % 52 30 18 2 20 50 30 3 25 20 55 Use the matrix inverse algorithm based on Gauss Jordan method to determine how many cubic meters must be...
