Q. 1. Read the given scenario carefully, and answer parts (a) and (b) (total marks: 40)

“Builders build houses through contractors. Each builder and contractor is registered with a unique name,
and has an address and phone number. Each house has a plot size, and has a specific address which consists
of Plot No., Street and City. Each house can be single unit or double unit. Each house has a construction cost
which includes material costs, labor costs, and contractor fee which is equal to 5% of total material and labor
costs. A particular house is built by only one contractor for only one builder, but a builder builds many
houses through different contractors.

Builders sell houses to customers, who can pay the full price in lump sum or lease through a bank. For bank
lease, the monthly payment is calculated by dividing the total price of house by the number of installments
plus a 7.5% mark up. Customers can be of type individuals or corporations. An individual customer has a
CNIC, name, address and phone number, while a corporation has a name, SECP registration number,
business type, address and phone number.”
