Question

A Software project was estimated at 864 Function Points. A six person team will be assigned to project consisting of a requirement gathering person, one designer, two programmers and two testers. The salary of the designer is Rs. 70.000 per month, requirement gatherer is  Rs. 50,000 per month, programmer is Rs. 60.000 per month and a tester is Rs. 60,000 per month. Average productivity for the team is 12 FP per person month. Which of the following represents the projected cost of the project ?

1. Rs. 33,20,000
2. Rs. 43,20,000
3. Rs. 33,10,000
4. Rs. 22,10,000

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : Rs. 43,20,000

The correct answer is option 2.

Given data, Functional Point=864
team=6 persons
average each peson(FP) productivity=12
designer month salary=70000
programmers month salary=2x60000
tester month salary=2x60000
Requirement gatherer=50000
Projected cost of project=?

Total number of months=\(\frac{Functional Point(FP)}{(Team \times Average each person (FP) productivity)}\)= \(\frac{864}{6\times12}\)

=12 months

Total cost of the project=(one designer salary+2 x Programmer month salary+2 x tester month salary+one requirement gatherer) x total number of months
=(70000+2x60000+2x60000+50000)x12
=43,20,000

∴ Hence the correct answer is Rs. 43,20,000.
