Acknowledgements We would like to pen our gratitude to the support and guidance provided to us for the completion of our project. First and foremost, we would like to thank God Almighty. By His grace and blessings, we were able to complete the project successfully. Also, we are greatly thankful to Ms. Fatima Ayaz (Architect), Maj ® Shaukat Mehmood (Property Consultant), Mr. Musharraf (Contractor), Mr. Ahmed Mirza (Contractor) & a host of other shopkeepers. We are highly obliged and would like to thank them for providing us with all the relevant information for our project. Needless to say, without their cooperation it would have been very difficult for our project to materialize. For putting up with occasional limited accessibility and mood swings, and for always being there for moral support and encouragement, our special thanks go to the most important people in our lives - our parents. We would also like to thank our course instructor, Mr. Sabir Jafri for his perpetual support and guidance throughout our project work. Without his assistance it would have been impossible to complete the designated task.

Executive Summary For our term project of Managerial Accounting, we were required to give the cost of construction of a house and give a competitive bid conforming to the current market trends. Our group undertook this project, by conducting market research of the prevalent rates and trends. We divided our project into three parts i.e. obtaining multiple (competitive) rates from different contractors and suppliers, selecting the best options and giving a competitive bid. The costs in our project, for coming up with the final bid price, were divided into four segments. Plot price and architect fee formed the first two segments. Contractor cost and material costs formed the third and fourth segment. Finally, our group was able to reach a conclusive bid price of Rs. 9,780,246 for the construction of an unfurnished house.

The total covered area of the plot is 4988 square feet.

It is pertinent to mention here that the costs taken for the proposed construction of the house may seem relatively high, but this is due to the use of high quality materials, as demanded by the customer. The relevant cost details for the house are being presented in the attached sheets.

Notes to the financial statements 1. The statements have been prepared in accordance with the knowledge obtained from the course of accounting.

2. We have divided the overall costs into three categories namely Direct Materials (DM), Direct Labor (DL) & Manufacturing Overhead (MOH). The head of MOH does not include the indirect material costs because of the fact that all the material costs are accounted for in the direct material costs for the reason that we are providing a finished product to the customer/buyer. These materials come as a part of the package being provided to the customer based on his specification, therefore, do not count as indirect material costs.

3. The profit margin of 10% has consensually been decided by our group keeping in view the current market trends.
