What was the hardest part of this project?
The hardest part of this project was the aspect of quantifying most of the destroyed properties. With the variation in prices and constant increae in prices, it was a great deal of task in quantifying the cost of the properties. It was a great chalenge to either use current cost or actual purchased price. However, since the project was to ascertain the cost on the economy at the present, most of the properties were quantified using present prices as it tells how much these properties will cost on the dwindling revenue of the country with future implications
What can others learn from this project?
One of the key here is precision and clear presentation. One have to clearly outline every object needed for analysis. As this will give a clear view of the prevailing circumstances.
Also is the aspect of making analysis using present term implications as this will tell the impact on the present day economy
