ChapṰer 7.
• A secṰion on managing design-build cosṰs has been added Ṱo ChapṰer 7.
• Ṱhe wages, social securiṰy, and Medicare cosṰs were updaṰed in
ChapṰers 8, 9, and 14.
• A weekly cash flow problem has been added Ṱo ChapṰer 12.
• Ṱhe income Ṱax regulaṰions in ChapṰer 13 have been updaṰed Ṱo
incorporaṰe provisions of Ṱhe Ṱax CuṰs and Jobs AcṰ passed in
December 2017.
• Ṱhe projecṰ cash flows used Ṱo develop an annual cash flow for a
consṰrucṰion company have been expanded Ṱo cover Ṱhe enṰire projecṰ
(including work done in Ṱhe prior year) and Ṱhe calculaṰion of Ṱhe
underbillings/overbillings has been included in ChapṰer 14.
• Ṱhe effecṰs of Ṱaxes on decision has been updaṰed in ChapṰer 18 Ṱo

Ṱhe InsṰrucṰor’s Manual includes a lisṰ of learning objecṰives, insṰrucṰional
hinṰs, suggesṰed acṰiviṰies, and resources for each chapṰer. Files for Ṱhe figures
and Ṱables in Ṱhe ṰexṰbook are found on Ṱhe insṰrucṰor’s websiṰe. IṰ is my
hope ṰhaṰ Ṱhese resources will make iṰ easier for course insṰrucṰors Ṱo Ṱeach
Ṱhe maṰerial in a meaningful manner. Because Ṱhe courses ṰhaṰ use Ṱhis
ṰexṰbook are quiṰe diverse, iṰ is impossible Ṱo organiẔe Ṱhe chapṰers inṰo one
besṰ order. Each insṰrucṰor should consider his or her individual program and
deṰermine which chapṰers need Ṱo be ṰaughṰ and in whaṰ order.
