You work at a regional health care center and have been asked to calculate the expected cost for a software project in your organization. You know that historically, your pro- grammers have been able to handle 5 function points each

person-month and that the cost per programmer in your company is $4,000 per month. The project whose costs you are estimating is based on the following requirements:

Function

Number of Screens

Complexity

Input

8

Low

output

6

Low

interfaces

15

High

queries

5

High

files

25

Medium

Further, you know that the complexity weighting for these functions follows a standard internal formula, shown as:

a. Calculate the total estimated number of function points for this project.

b. Calculate the total expected cost of the project
