(d) Create realistic income profile that has the contractor financing the entire project vs. the cost curve.

(e) Create realistic income profile that has the owner financing the entire project vs. the cost curve.

(f) Create graph of the income profile vs. the cost curve if the payment schedule is as shown in Figure 2

(g) What is the retainage after the July payment?

(h) What is the maximum amount the contractor will have to finance?
