Question I: (25 points):
a) What might be the return on investment value of a project if total costs are
100 000YTL, and total benefits are 120 000YTL for 4-years of projection?
Return On Investment= 20 000/100 000=%20
b) What is the present value for the case a) if interest rate is %10.
PV = Cash flow amount
(1 + interest rate)n ,
PV = 120 000-100 000
(1 + 0,10)4
PV = 20 000
(1.1)4
PV = 20 000
(1.46)4
around 13 660
c) Estimate the development labour cost for a project if the project will take 5
months if Planning Phase Approach (Planning %15, Analysis %20, Design %35,
Implementation %30 ) is going to be used!
Notice: A manager will cost 5000TL, analyst 3000TL, designer 4000TL, and
developer 2000TL.
Management Cost =
Analyst Cost=
Design Cost=
Implementation Cost=
5*0.15*5000=3750TL
5*0,20*3000=3000TL
5*0.35*4000=7000TL
5*0.30*2000=3000TL
Total Cost = 16 750TL

Question II: (25 points):
I have a project that is estimated as 1000 function points. I am planning to use
Java as the programming language whose approximate lines of code per
function point is accepted as 50.
a) Do you thing I can use the COCOMO to estimate the project effort? Why?
Yes, since the project size is 50 * 1000 = 50 000 lines of code, we can use
COCOMO model. COCOMO is used for projects until 100 000 of lines of
code.
b) Approximately how long does the project take to complete?
Effort in
Person Months= 1.4 * thousands-of-lines-of-code
=1.4 * 50
=70 person months
Schedule Time (months) = 3.0 * person-months1/3
= 3 * 701/3
3*4 (approximately)
approximately 12 months.
