OMG
1. The estimated tender bid for the project is $96,000.
2. The estimated profit on the project is $42,000.

Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Markup of total professional (engineering and scientist) labor costs = 80%
Markup of other costs = 50%
Estimated direct costs:
Input Costs Civil engineers 150 hours $25 000
Environmental scientists 100 hours 15 000
Support labour 120 hours 10 000
Total direct labor costs $50,000
80% markup 40,000
Total direct costs $90,000
Other costs:
Travel 1 000 km $1 000
Computer time 80 hours 2 500
Photocopying, phone, fax 500
Total other costs $4,000
50% markup 2,000 $6,000
Total bid costs $96,000
Estimated project profit:
80% markup on direct labor costs 40,000
50% markup on other costs 2,000
Total estimated project profit $42,000
