Cornelius needs to have a concrete foundation for his stone wall. This will be 500mm deep. Cornelius will purchase barrowed concrete.
 
Work out how much this will cost him by following the price guide. (3)

To calculate how much the concrete foundation will cost Cornelius, we'll need the following information:

1. **Dimensions of the foundation** (besides the depth of 500mm).
2. **Price of barrowed concrete** (price per unit of volume).

Since the depth is 500mm (0.5 meters), let's break down the steps based on some assumptions:

### Steps to calculate:
1. **Calculate the volume of concrete needed**: 
   - Volume = Length × Width × Depth (in cubic meters).
2. **Convert units** if necessary.
3. **Use the price per cubic meter** of barrowed concrete to calculate the total cost.

Please provide either the dimensions of the foundation (length and width) and the price per unit of concrete so I can give you the exact cost.

Would you like to provide this information or need further clarification?

Here are 5 related questions:
1. What are the full dimensions of the stone wall?
2. What is the price of barrowed concrete per cubic meter?
3. Does Cornelius need reinforcement in the concrete foundation?
4. How much concrete does a barrow hold in this case?
5. Are there any additional labor costs for pouring the foundation?

**Tip**: Always check if there are any bulk discounts when buying large quantities of materials like concrete.
