Problem 1 (Presentation and Framing) 50 points

You are a free-lance computer programmer and have been asked by a company to provide a quote for developing a new system to collect data from consumers. You have determined that the project will take you 40 hours of time to complete and you will value your time at $75 per hour. The project will also require $500 in materials (equipment usage, documentation packets, etc). You are aware that the company has also solicited bids from several other programmers are sure that your total cost is likely to be very similar to theirs. You would like to use presentation and framing to increase your chances of being selected. Using what you know about how framing matters to consumers, how will you present this price to the company? (Your answer should be worded/presented exactly as you would to the company). Justify why you have chosen to present it this way.
