Exercise 43

Instead of using a cost-capacity equation for relating project size and construction cost, the Department of Defense uses Size Adjustment Factors (SAFs) that are based on Size Relationship Ratios (SRRs). For example, a SRR of 2.00 has a SAF of 0.942. Determine the required exponent value in the cost-capacity equation in order for C 2 to be 0.942 C 1 when Q 2 /Q 1 = 2.00.
