INSTRUCTION: Select the correct answer for each of the following questions.
Mark only one answer for each item by shading the box corresponding to the
letter of your choice on the answer sheet provided. STRICTLY NO ERASURES
ALLOWED.GOOD LUCK.

NOTE: A times B is represented by A × B or A*B. A raised to the power n is

expressed as A^n. All problems are 1 point each.

1. A large construction job will take 4 years to complete. The costs of the
many required inspections can be reduced by purchasing a voice recognition
system to act as the “front end” for a word processor. Then, inspectors
can be trained to record their comments and revise the written output of
an automated form. A voice recognition system is a technology that allows
computers and devices to interpret and respond to spoken language. These
systems convert spoken words into text or commands, enabling users to
interact with technology through voice commands. Voice recognition
systems are commonly used in a variety of applications, including virtual
assistants, transcription services, and hands-free control systems. There
are four types of voice recognition system, the command-and-control
systems, dictation systems, virtual assistants and Voice search.

The firm’s interest rate is 12%. What is the PW of the cash flows for the
voice recognition system? The first cost for purchase and training is

HGE PLAN: Spending 13 M now will meet the needs of the next 6 years.
After 6 years, $12M would be spent on another building to
meet the needs of the last 4 years.

PSAD PLAN: For 15 M now, the new building can be designed for expansion
later at a cost of 7M.

If Review Innovation U uses an interest rate of 5%, Which of the following

is the most economical using Present Worth?
A. MSTE PLAN at 21 M C. PSAD PLAN at 20 M
B. HGE PLAN at 19 M D. Tinitigan ko

71. The amount of germs in a certain culture increases at a rate proportional

to the number present. If the amount of germs doubles every year, how
many years will the number of germs triple?
A. 1.952 C. 2.568
B. 4.214 D. 1.585

72. A 50-meter steel tape was standardized and supported throughout its whole
length and found to be 0.00205 m longer at an observed temperature of
31.8 °C and a pull of 10 kg. This tape was used to measure a line which
was found to be 662.702 m at an average temperature of 24.6 °C using the
same pull. What is the correct length of the line? Use coefficient of
expansion of 0.0000116m per degree centigrade.
A. 662.76 m C. 661.29 m
B. 662.67 m D. 661.92 m

Situation. A -2.0% grade meets an 8.0% grade near an underpass. To maintain

minimum clearance allowed under the bridge, and at the same time introduce
vertical transition curve in the grade line, it is necessary to use a
curve that lies 400 m on one side and 240 on the other. The station at
beginning of curve (400 m side) is 10 + 000 and its elevation 200 m.
73. Determine the stationing of the lowest point on the curve.
A. 10 + 200 C. 10 + 231
B. 10 + 213 D. 10 + 233
74. Determine the elevation at station 10 + 080.
A. 198.56 m C. 198.75 m
B. 198.70 m D. 198.80 m
75. Determine the elevation of the end of the curve.
A. 192 m C. 211 m
B. 200 m D. 240 m
