Solution Preview

Building from the project created - human resources department training:
• Identify all of the costs involved in the project. Label the costs either direct costs, project overhead costs, or general and administrative overhead costs.
• Develop a time-phased budget for the project. What will be the cumulative cost of the project?
• Need good websites for the references as well

COSTS (see the PowerPoint Presentation "Ch 05..." attached for reference)

Direct Costs: Direct expenses that are billable to specific work packages: Labor, materials, equipment, etc

Project Overhead Costs: Direct expenses that are 'linked' to a project: Salary, rent, supplies, specialized machinery, etc

Administration Overhead Costs: Indirect or general operating expenses related to a project, which may be incurred during normal business operation, and may not be directly attributed to a single task.
