Question

The first cost of a new building is $3,000,000. Target ROI on investments is 20%. It is estimated to have a life of 30 years with salvage value of $50,000. It is possible that it will last as long as 40 years with a salvage value of zero and teardown costs of $ 100,000. Or it may last 25 years and could be sold for $100,000. Annual taxes, insurance, maintenance, and other annual costs are expected to be $100,000 per year, but they could be as high as $150,000 per year or as low as $90,000 per Using what-if calculations, determine the pessimistic, optimistic, and most likely total annua costs, j4t, of the structure.

Explanation / Answer

PERT (Program Evaluation And Review Technique) is the most commonly used method in three point estimation technique.

Three PEART estimates are as follows:

·         Most Likely Cost (Cm): This cost estimate considers everything goes as normal.

·         Pessimistic Cost (Cp): This considers the worst case and it assumes that almost everything goes wrong.

·         Optimistic Cost (Co): This estimate considers the best case and assumes that everything goes better than planned.

PERT Estimate formula is:

Ce = (Co + 4Cm + Cp)/6

Where, Ce = Expected Cost

Estimates derived from this technique are better than the two techniques discussed above and provide a more accurate estimate.
