Concepts
A
Cost
can
be
either
variable
or
fixed:
• Variable
cost:
cost
that
change
with
the
amount
of
producHon
or
the
amount
of
work.
Ex.,
cost
of
material,
supplies,
wages…
• Fixed
cost:
cost
that
do
not
change
as
producHon
changes.
Ex.,
set-‐up,
rental…
A
Cost
can
be
either
direct
or
indirect:
• Direct
cost:
cost
that
are
directly
aVributable
to
the
work
on
the
project,
Ex.,
team
travel,
team
wages,
recogniHon,
and
costs
of
material
used
on
the
project…
• Indirect
cost:
overhead
items
or
costs
incurred
for
the
benefit
of
more
than
one
project,
Ex.,
taxes,
fringe
benefits
and
janitorial
services

10. EsHmaHng
techniques
• The
accuracy
of
a
project
esHmate
will
increase
as
the
project
progresses
through
the
project
life
cycle.
For
example,
a
project
in
the
iniHaHon
phase
may
have
a
rough
order
of
magnitude
(ROM)
esHmate
in
the
range
of
−25%
to
+75%.
Later
in
the
project,
as
more
informaHon
is
known,
definiHve
esHmates
could
narrow
the
range
of
accuracy
to
-‐5%
to
+10%.

This
method
assumes

The

cost

index
(CPI)
as
that
incurred
by
the

to

EquaHon:
EAC
=

o EAC

for

considering
both

factors.
In
this

the

will
be
performed
at
an
efficiency
rate
that
considers
both
the

This
