Week 5 Module (CMPM, CMT, COSH and QS)

This document contains 14 multiple choice questions assessing knowledge of construction management principles including critical path analysis, concrete mix design, cost estimation, and scheduling. Questions assess identifying critical paths, project durations and costs, volume calculations for concrete mixes, and unit costs for installing reinforcing steel based on labor, equipment, material and overhead costs.

SITUATION 4: For a given project it is estimated that 150 kg of steel can be installed in one hour
using the following equipment and labor.

where 1 kg of tie wire costs P 26. The value added Tax is 10% of the material cost. The profit,
contingency, and miscellaneous cost is 40% of the labor and material costs. Determine the
following:
