Difficulties in developing cost estimates arise from such conditions as: a) One-of-a-kind estimates b) Resource and time availability c) Estimator expertise d) All of these 10. An estimate is decomposed into its individual components, estimates are made at those lower levels, and then the estimates are aggregated (added) back together in ……………………… estimating model. a) Per-unit b) Segmenting c) Cost-indexes d) Power-sizing 11. The …………………….. model is used to estimate the costs of industrial plants and equipment. a) Per-unit b) Segmenting c) Cost-indexes d) Power-sizing 12. ………………………….. are numerical values that reflect historical change in engineering (and other) costs. a) Per-unit factor b) Segmented cost c) Cost-indexes d) Power-sizing exponent 13. The cost to provide workplace safety training to a new employee is estimated at ₹600 for a particular manufacturer. If an estimated 30 new employees are hired annually, the annual workplace safety training cost will be………… a) ₹600 b) ₹1,800 c) ₹6,000 d) ₹18,000 14. Given the data below, Estimated annual production volume = 400,000 units Estimated direct labor cost per unit = ₹3.75 Estimated indirect labor cost per unit = ₹0.92 Estimated raw material and purchased part cost per unit = ₹32.50 All other costs are independent of production volume and are estimated at ₹800,000 per year. A manufacturer's total annual cost will be……………….. a) ₹2,668.000 b) ₹15,668,000 c) ₹14,868,000 d) ₹15,300,000 15. Given the data below, Estimated annual production volume = 400,000 units Estimated direct labor cost per unit = ₹3.75 Estimated indirect labor cost per unit = ₹0.92 Estimated raw material and purchased part cost per unit = ₹32.50 All other costs are independent of production volume and are estimated at ₹800,000 per year. 38.25. A manufacturer's average cost per unit will be…………… a) ₹37.17 b) ₹34.50 c) ₹39.17 d) ₹6.67 16. A building was constructed in 1980 at a cost of ₹2.7 million. According to the Engineering News-Record, the 1980 average Building Cost Index was 1941.
