ITPEC IP October 2023 — Question 57 of 100

At the current cost rate, the project will exceed its budget by 4.5 million yen. Completing 40 programs cost 15 million yen, so the average cost is 15 ÷ 40 = 0.375 million yen per program. At the same pace, 60 programs will cost 0.375 × 60 = 22.5 million yen. Compared with the 18-million-yen budget, the excess is 22.5 − 18 = 4.5 million yen.

Answer (b)

Why not others:
- 3, 6, and 7.5 million yen do not follow from scaling the actual cost per completed program to all 60 programs

Key rule: Forecast total cost from actual unit cost when all units have equal scale and productivity, then subtract the original budget.
