Q1. Table Q1 shows the cost of works and the program for the construction of abuilding. The information's of the project are as the followings: The gross profit margin is 15% of the cost (i) (ii) Retention money is 5 % (iii) (iv) Progress payment is on monthly basis and measurement will be made at the end of each month with payment delay of one (1) month. The retention money is repaid 3 (three) months after the practical completion. To simplify the calculation, you may assume that all costs must be met at the instant they are incurred. You may also assume that the monthly value and cost for each activity are equally distributed Total Cost OfWork(RM X 1000) Activity Duration Predecessor Start 0 A A 2 2 2 Start A(SS+1) 600 700 B c B D 4 300 1200 800 E C(FS-3) C(FS-1) E 2 2 F 1000 G 1 1500 1 500 H Finish D. F, G H 0 Based on the above information's, answer the following questions. (1) Calculate the maximum cash required for this project. (ii) (iii) At the end of which |month, the maximum cash is required? What is the expected monthly payment received of all works that arescheduled to be completed in the fifth month? Propose three (3) methods how the maximum cash requirement for theabove project can be reduced. Without rescheduling all payment to supplier and subcontractor calculate how much the maximum cash requirement can be reduced (iv) (v) Q1.
