Can anyone please help me out with question 28 from the August 2015 ARE 4.0 MC sample test? I cannot seem to come up with the correct factor of safety for the calculations I am working with.

Thank you Coach, in Mike's notes he states that the weight of the wall and footing are NOT included, but then his calculations include the weight of the wall and footing. Is there a mix up here or am I missing something?

I don't have his notes in front of me but I'll be he was saying that the given 240k DL is an applied DL and does not include wall and footing.
