The City of Calgary is considering the construction of a new high school in order to accommodate a growing population. Before they proceed, they would like to conduct a Benefit/Cost analysis using different time horizons and interest rates. An economist for the City has tabulated the following benefits and costs in the table below.

*This value was estimated by a City survey. The survey asked people their willingness to pay for a high school in their neighbourhood.

1. a) Calculate the NPV with interest rates of 3 percent, 5 percent and 8 percent and with time horizons at 30 and 60 years. Comment on how different interest rates and time horizons affect the economic value of this public project.
   (Note: Show your calculation for one NPV. You do not need to show them for each one)

2. b) For someone working on the Calgary School Board, (a Spender) what interest and time horizon would they be promoting?

1. What are the suitable type of Excavations required to remove the layer of fine grained soil with a high clay content soil directly beneath the topsoil? Moreover, it is observed from the building design that foundations shall be constructed nearby to each other. In line with the requirements, recommend the safe and sustainable type of excavation along with the construction plant team suitable to construction site situation?

2. What is the suitable type of Foundation to build a G+3 storey building transforms heavy loads to the ground and it is desired to have minimum settlement? The building will be built in a fine grained soil with a high clay content soil, and the construction site is a residential area which may contain obstructions, and consists of adjacent structures and the construction method of foundation shall not develop any ground heave.

According to the ground stability and site circumstances, propose the most desirable construction method of the foundation and construction plant.

3. What are the suitable type of Super Structure for constructing G+3 residential buildings?

Considering this, recommend the most desirable, safe and sustainable construction method for the super structure based on the most common form of construction in Al Mabelah area In Sultanate of Oman.
