Answer:

Analogous, Parametric , Bottomup estimate are the major project management cost estiomation tool.

Analogous

This particular technique is used to estimate the project cost when very little information or detail is available about the project. Thus, this technique does not provide a realistic or reliable estimation. In this type of estimation cost is calculated based on the historical data of similar project.

Parametric costing

Like analogues it also uses historical data for costing. It takes different variables from the project and applies them to the current project.( Man,equipment, material) used for similar last project are taken as a reference.

Bottom up technique

It is also considered as definitive technique. It is the most accurate among project cost estimation techniques, the cost of every activity involved in the project is calculated on realistic basis, estimation is done of greate4st level of detail, and then it will rolls up to calculate actual total cost. It drills down to every minute details of costing as well. total project work is broken down into the multiple smallest work components.

In a nutshell

Analogous

Fastest method of estimation

It can be calculated with minimal information

Parametric

It make use of statistical tools for estimation of cost involved in project

More accurate than the analogous method.

Bottom up

Most accurate technique

It can be used when all information are available

More time consuming method

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

Standard cost per pound= $34.21

Explanation:

The standard cost is the sum of direct material, direct labor, and total overhead. We will calculate each separate.

Direct material:

10 ounces cookie mix for $0.80= $8

5 ounces of milk chocolate for $4= $20

1 ounce of almonds for $12 the pound= $0.75

1 pound= 16 ounces

1 ounce= 0.0625*$12= $0.75

Direct labor:

1 minute in the mixing department

2 minutes in the baking department.

Mixing= $14.40* (1/60)= $0.24

Baking= $18*(2/60)= $0.6

Overhead:

Variable overhead is applied at a rate of $32.40 per DLH

Fixed overhead is applied at a rate of $60.00 per DLH.

Variable= 32.40 * (3/60)= $1.62

Fixed= 60* (3/60)= $3

Standard cost per pound= (8 + 20 + 0.75) + (0.24 + 0.6) + (1.62 + 3)= $34.21

The following data are for a series of increasingly extensive flood-control projects.
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

$28,000 and $12,000, respectively

Explanation:

Marginal cost = incremental cost from Plan C to Plan D

= total cost (plan D) - total cost (plan C)

= 72,000 - 44,000 = $28,000

Marginal benefit = incremental benefit from Plan C to Plan D

= total benefit (plan D) - total benefit (plan C)

= 64,000 - 52,000 = $12,000

Therefore marginal cost and benefits for Plan D = $28,000 and $12,000, respectively

DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

capital structure weight is = 0.349

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of share 10,700

per share price is $41

number of share of stock is 240

per share price of preferred stock is $92

number of bonds 570

coupon rate is 6% paid semiannually

mutuarity life of bonds is 22 year

face value of bonds is $1000

selling price 104.5% per par

common stock = 10,700 \times $41 = 438,700

Preferred stock  = 240\times 92 = 222,080

Bonds = 570\times 1000\times 1.045  = 595,650

Total amount = 438,700 + 222,080+595,650 = 1,256,430

capital structure weight is = \frac{438,700}{1,256,430} = 0.349
