Answer:
cost of expansion = $1389859.55
Explanation:
Given data:
Original size = 185,000 ft^2
New expansion = 25000 ft^2
capacity component = 0.62
total cost for original size of clinic is = $17 million
Size of new clinic = 185,000 + 25,000 = 210,000 ft^2
cost of new clinic![= 17,000,000 \times [\frac{size\ of\ new\ clinic}{185,000}]^{0.62}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%3D%20%2017%2C000%2C000%20%5Ctimes%20%5B%5Cfrac%7Bsize%5C%20of%5C%20new%5C%20clinic%7D%7B185%2C000%7D%5D%5E%7B0.62%7D)
cost of new clinic =![17,000,000 \times [\frac{210,000}{185,000}]^{0.62}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%2017%2C000%2C000%20%5Ctimes%20%5B%5Cfrac%7B210%2C000%7D%7B185%2C000%7D%5D%5E%7B0.62%7D)
cost of new clinic = $18,389,859.56
cost of expansion = cost of 210,000 ft^2 - cost of 185,000 ft^2
= 18,389,859.56- 17,000,000
cost of expansion = $1389859.55
