USE THE CAT PERFORMANCE HANDBOOK TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM.

A CAT D$9$T dozer utilizing a semi$-$universal $($SU$)$ blade is to be used in a dozing operation. The material is blasted rock and is to be moved $150ft$ from the beginning of the cut. The dozing is uphill on a $5\%$ grade. The dozer has a power shift transmission and hydraulic blade. The operator has average skills and both visibility and traction are assumed to be satisfactory. The material weighs $105$ pcf $($dry unit weight$)$ in the bank state with a swell factor $=0\mathrm{.}63(63\%).$ Job efficiency is assumed to be equivalent to a $50-$minute hour. The O&O cost for the dozer is $$190\mathrm{.}00$ per hour including the operators wage and fringes. Note $-$ these charts are based on a material weight of $2,300$ pounds per loose cubic yard $($Icy$).$

Calculate the unit cost of the proposed earth moving operation in dollars per lcy$.$
