Proforma calculation

In a basic proforma equation to test the economic viability of a potential development project, the sum of hard costs and soft costs equals total cost, which will incorporate total interest on the construction loan. The total cost is figured into an annualized expense amount toward mortgage retirement. net income minus total expense equals profit (or percentage of equity). Which of the following would be considered in calculating "soft costs"? Choose 3
A. Legal expenses/accounting
B. Marketing fees
C. Cost of construction - Circulation areas (typ. 20%)
D. Architect/Engineer fee
E. Real estate taxes
F. Management office expense

AnswerA, B, D are soft costs. C is a hard cost (normally only construction cost and land acquisition). E, F are (operating) expenses.

Radius of gyration

For column design, the radius of gyration incorporates area and the moment of inertia. This value represents the resistance of a cross-section to buckling, which in columns happens under a load parallel to its lesser dimension. The slenderness ratio is the ratio of a column's effective length (modified by K-value to account for its end conditions) to its least radius of gyration. For a W12x16 A36 steel column with a least radius of gyration of 0.773, whose ends are both free to rotate but fixed in translation (K=1), what is it's slenderness ratio? Answer Kl/r = (1)(12feet)(12in/ft) / 0.773 = 186.3 ARE 4.0 exam prep: SS
