Assume you are the project manager and based on your customer’s requirements you have determined there are four main tasks in a Dream Backyard project. Each phase has been assigned a TBC. Specifically, the customer wants a pool and spa built (Task 1 - $40,000); all plumbing, electrical, and mechanical installed (Task 2 - $23,000); a pool deck with planters and a raised fire pit (Task 3 - $15,000); and landscaping and clean up (Task 4 - $6,000). You estimate this will take 5 weeks to complete. The costs are budgeted as follows:       Budgeted Per Week (in 000’s)       TBC 1 2 3 4 5 Task 1 40 10 15 10 5   Task 2 23 6 10 5 2   Task 3 15     9 4 2 Task 4 6       3 3 What is the total cumulative TBC?
