The financial costs associated with the completion of the project fell well below those originally planned at its inception. Table 1.1 shows a breakdown of anticipated expenditures from the beginning of the project, revised estimates after one semester, and actual final costs. A key reason for the disparity between estimated and actual costs is due to the revision of resources needed for Hardware / OS Configuration. The change reflects the assumption that appropriate hardware could be found on campus or was available to team members at no charge.

The only significant budgetary concern is with regards to the project poster. The $88 cost of the poster was more than the $35 budgeted. It should be noted that the team was allocated $50 for the poster and that the additional funds needed for its completion came out-of-pocket from the team members.
