<h3><u>Changes considered to reduce the cost of the project: </u></h3>

Cost Estimates of a Residential Design have the following elements:

1) Quantity Takeoff

2) Labor Hours

3) Labor Rates

4) Material Prices

5) Equipment Costs

6) Subcontractor Quotes

7) Indirect Costs

8) Profit Margin

Quantity Takeoff is the very basic element required in Residential Building. Labor hours and rates depends on the location, work difficulty, market value, and other extrinsic factors. Material prices and Subcontractor Quotes again depends on location, supply and demand. Equipment Costs depends on the location, place of purchase, transportation cost, size of equipment, etc. Indirect costs are overheads for labor and contractors.

As we can check the above elements, we cannot change Quantity takeoff, as no one wants to compromise in the quality. However, we can try to slightly negotiate with Labor rates and Subcontractor Quotes. Again, as mentioned the budget is significantly high, so we need to work on reducing 2 costs, which are Equipment Costs and Material Prices.

Explanation:

This term refers to a problem in economics where a person who is known as a stowaway, benefits from using a service or consuming a product without paying anything for it. In this case Kevin should contribute to the radio station, since regardless of whether what was expected in a given period has been raised, just being committed is enough to have the obligation to contribute for the maintenance of the station over time.

If the government uses tax money to pay for long-term investments such as roads or other infrastructure, what happens to the eco
coldgirl [10]

Is this a theory type of question?

If it is and if it took place under president Calvin Coolidge then taxes likely would have gone up.

If you are talking about now, then investment might go up but in order to pay for it, the government will just print more money, so that taxes shouldn't go up.

I'd pick C.
