Q4. You are the project manager for a seller. A parking lot fencing project was bid at US $11 per foot. The parking lot has four equal sides of 125 feet and requires installing a six-foot diameter culvert on one side. Fencing should take 100 feet per day, and the culvert installation will cost US $500 and take one day to complete. The culvert must be installed before work can begin on hat side of the fence. After three days of work, one side is complete, another side has 75 feet installed, and the culvert is completely installed.
