.'. The cost per unit is P 3.80. Jri", in" mechanical engineer contractor decided to add 15 men on the
overtime not being Permitted.

lf the liquidated damages is P 5000 per day of delay, and the men
are paid P150
p"r OrV, how much m6ney would he sa re with the additional workers?
By selling balut at P 5 per dozen, a vendor gains 20%. The cost of the eggs rises
by 12.Soh.lf he sells at the same price as before, find his new gain in %. A. P 43,450

With 50 men only:
Let x = original cost of a dozen of balut No. of days delaYed = 50 - 40 = 10 days

cost+profit=5 Liquidated damages = 5000(10) = 59999

x+0.20x=5 Salary of 50 men = 50(50)150) = 375000
1.2Ox =5
Total exPenses = 50000 + 375000
x = 4.17 Total exPenses = 425000

Cost per dozen of balut = P4.17 With 65 men (an additional of 15 men):

Let y = new cost of dozen of balut Solving for the man-day to finish the job' N:

y = 1.'125x N : (50 men)(50 daYs)

'
y =1.125(.17) N= 2500 man - day
y = 4.69125
(a total of 65)
Let x = number of days to finish the job with 15 more men
cost+Profit=5
4.69125 + (% gain)(4.6912s) = 5 (50+15)x=2500
ohgain 0.0658 x = 38.46

Sayx=39daYs
paid by the
.'. The new gain of the balot vendor is 6.58 %. Since number of days is 39 < 40, thus no penalty will be
contractor. So expenses Will solely on the salary of the workers:

Salary of 65 men = 65(150X39) = 380250

.'. The amount saved = 425000 - 380250 = P 44,750'00
