for this section of the document.
Resources and Costs
Copy your costs from the Unit 1 assignment and then make alterations:
Look for specific products as needed. Specify them by name (manufacturer and product, provider and specific service, etc.).
Adjust prices so that your cost estimate is closer to what you think you will need.
Add a line for contingency funds: First, figure out a total and then add 10% to arrive at a grand total.
Again, use embedded Excel and ensure that all parts of the embedded table can be seen in the Word template. All calculations must be done by formula.
Beneath the embedded table, provide a list of all pertinent full URLs (not text links) for purchases/services. Make sure the URLs lead directly to the offerings and pricing.
