A cold storage locker plant shows that each locker should be large enough to
store about 300 lbs. of meat or measure about 20 in. by 20 in. by 3 ft. deep.
For this size of plant, it is found that a single story building 45 ft by 60 ft. will be
required to house lockers, refrigeration machinery, preparation room and
office. The building will have about 30,000 cu. ft. Determine the first cost with
the following data:
