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
