Expert Solution

Step 1

It is given that the total volume of the slab is 2.07 cubic yards and the volume estimated by the

contractor is 3 cubic yards. This means that the concrete is wasted as the contractor wrongly

estimated the volume of the slab.

We have to evaluate the cost of the concrete which is wasted when the cost of concrete is given

to be $119.42 per cubic yards.
