Similar to Time Estimating (usually done by the sameperson/group that does the Time Estimates)
Calculation of Cost for each WP: Example:If estimate was duration 10 daysAssign human resources 2 people
Effort = Duration x Resources E=2x10=20pd
e.g., Resource Cost (RC) = Effort x Rate(includes overhead)
RC=20x$1,000=$20,000
(Possible) Plus Fixed Cost (FC)
e.g., FC = $5,000
Total cost (TC) = Resource cost + Fixed Cost
TC=20,000 + 5,000 = 25,000
