A structural engineer is evaluating three alternative designs on the basis of four performance measures: construction cost, structural integrity, the expected average lifetime condition (resistance to freeze and freeze-thaw cycles), and the effects of the bridge construction on the environment, each having relative importance weights of 0.3, 0.4, 0.2, and 0.1 respectively. For the overall structural integrity (OSI), the index is 0 (worst) to 5 (best); life-cycle cost is in $millions; lifetime condition is an index ranging from 0 (worst) to 20 (best); and the environmental consequences (EC) is an index ranging from 0 (best) to 50 (worst). The utility functions Uj are provided as follows:
UOSI = 16.33(OSI)Ucost = -20.898(cost)+ 175.19 (where cost is in $millions)Ucondition = 5(condition)UEC = -0.1235(EC)2 + 3.0745(EC)+ 82.673
The levels of each performance criterion (PC) for material are given in the table below.

Fit both linear and an exponential trend to the data. (d) Which model is preferred? Why? (e) Make a forecast for 2003, using a trend model of your choice (or judgments forecast).
Using this he gives a cost estimate of $24,000 for a new order for 500 units. Is this a reasonable cost estimate? Explain why or why not. Looking at the data on file, can you give a better cost estimate?
