You have a project to build a new block wall. The block wall is four sided with all sides being equal. Each side is to take one day to build and is budgeted for $10,000 per side. The sides are planned to be completed one after the other. Regarding project financial management, specifically revenues and cash flows: You will be paid for each side as that side is completed and accepted. In this case, assume that the sides have a finish-to-finish relationship instead of a finish-to-start relationship so more than one side can be worked on at the same time (in parallel).
