Read the following information about the Ventura Baseball Stadium project retrieved from Larson and Gray (2018).
The G&E Company is preparing a bid to build the new 47,000-seat baseball stadium. The construction must start on June 10th of this year and be completed in time for the start of the 20XX season (this must be two years out from the current year). A penalty clause of $500,000 per day of delay beyond April 3rd is written into the contract.
Percival Young, the president of the company, expressed optimism at obtaining the contract and revealed that the company could net as mush as $5 million on the project. He also said that if they were successful, the prospects of future projects would be bright since there is a projected renaissance in building classic ball parks with modern luxury boxes.
