7. Make at least one backup copy of the project on an external medium (e.g.,
CD, flash drive).

COST LOADING
In this exercise, the GC is cost loading the schedule but will follow two approaches.
For self-performed activities, the GC will resource load them (i.e., assign the proper
amount of labor and equipment, plus add the cost of materials, if any). 4 For sub-
contracted activities, the GC will add only the cost of these activities (no resource
loading).

which is used for cash amounts only.
