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=

=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
