recoverable investment by the total saleable area. The resulting unit cost is computed as follows:
Direct Cost:
Land Acquisition = P11,079,200/173,947.15 = P63.69/sq.m.
Land Development = P 9,917,000/173,947.15 = P57.01/sq.m.
Total Direct Cost = P20,996,200/173,947.15 = P120.70/sq.m.
Indirect Cost:
Technical Supervision= P 419,924/173,947.15 = P2.41/sq.m.
Administrative/Mgt. = P1,049,810/173,947.15 = P6.04/sq.m.
Collection Charge
= P 209,962/173,947.15 = P1.21/sq.m.
Total Indirect Cost
= P1,679.696/173,947.15 = P9.66/sq.m.
Hence, the resulting price per square meter is P130.36.
Price differential, depending on location or category of the lot, shall be added to the unit cost in

7. When at an inspection any deterioration of the pressure vessel is found, the permissible safe
working pressure shall be reduced to maintain a factor of safety of not less than five or such other
figure as may have been specified in the specification to which the pressure vessel was made, Provided
that after 25 years the safety factor shall be increased by 10 per cent.
