You are a civil engineer who has been given the task to monitor the excavation of road construction. It is deemed viable that it typically takes half an hour to excavate a cubic meter of soil using a typical backhoe that applies to soils within a two-meter depth from its NGL. This parameter includes hauling, piling, and other small movements within the area bound for excavation. Given that the volume to be excavated is 43m3 in your specified road station using only one backhoe, determine the exact total cost for this setup if the backhoe rent costs Php1800 per hour which includes its gasoline and other daily maintenance costs. The hourly wage paid to these two workers at every end of their daily shift is taken as Php104 for the backhoe operator and Php43 for the backhoe spotter. For work-life balance, you always make sure that there are only eight working hours per day with no overtime and no work on Sundays for all your workers. Note that the total cost does not include your salary as a civil engineer for the project and would not include any additional allowances for any of its equipment/labor costs. Base your final answer on the exact total working hours for this activity.
