2. As an engineer you inspect a 2, 500-foot sewer pipe and find that a 150-foot portion is
damaged. You get estimates for two different solutions. The first estimate is for
spot repair of the damaged portion at a cost of $375.00 per foot. The second estimate is
for relining the full length of the entire sewer pipe at a cost of $65.00 per foot. How much
could you save in immediate costs by choosing the lower estimate?
