4.1 Total Project Statistics ($1 ,442.057 k)
Figure 1 shows that the overall project expenditures are near the ideal linear curve. The actual spending
curve falls below the linear model. This can be accounted for by the fact that the subcontract vouchers
and the expected equipment purchases are not yet included in these figures.
