Ferdinand Construction (FC) manages the design and construction of hospitals. Ferdinand has developed several formulas that it uses to quote jobs. These include costs of basic construction but exclude equipment and furniture. These estimates are also dependent on the purpose of the hospital (teaching hospitals are more costly to build) and location (downtown hospitals are more costly to build). Both of these are based on the building costs. The estimated costs also depend on whether the hospital has few or many stories (high-rise buildings are more expensive). The following are the cost estimates for one region in the Northeast: Design costs Building costs per square foot (low- rise) Building costs per square foot (high-rise) Downtown premium Teaching hospital premium Required: $ 15,014,000 440 500 60% 20% A local university medical school has asked Ferdinand Construction to provide a quote on a high-rise teaching hospital located in the city center downtown. The university estimates the hospital will be 314,000 square feet in total. Based on the engineering estimates above, what will such a hospital cost to build?
