Construct a Mass Haul Diagram.

Complete the table.
Determine the volume of borrow or waste.
Given the following cost estimates, determine the cost of this particular earthwork:
Cost of cutting, hauling and filling = RM 10 per cubic meter
Cost of removing unwanted soil (waste) = RM 3 per cubic meter
Cost of acquiring, hauling and filling of borrow soil = RM 6 per cubic meter
