Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Solution:
Step 1 - Compute total person-months: total function points ÷ productivity per person-month = 864 ÷ 12 = 72 person-months.
Step 2 - Determine project duration with the 6-person team: duration (months) = 72 person-months ÷ 6 people = 12 months.
Step 3 - Compute monthly cost of the whole team:
Requirement gatherer: ₹50,000; Designer: ₹70,000; Two programmers: 2 × ₹60,000 = ₹1,20,000; Two testers: 2 × ₹60,000 = ₹1,20,000.
Total monthly team salary = ₹50,000 + ₹70,000 + ₹1,20,000 + ₹1,20,000 = ₹3,60,000
Step 4 - Total project cost = project duration × monthly team salary = 12 × ₹3,60,000 = ₹4,320,000
Therefore, the projected cost of the project is ₹4,320,000 (₹ 43,20,000).
