Cost Slope Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Cost Slope = (Crash Cost-Normal Cost)/(Normal Time-Crash Time)
CS = (CC-NC)/(NT-CT)
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Cost Slope - The Cost Slope is defined as the increase in the cost of the activity per unit decrease in the time.
Crash Cost - Crash Cost is the cost associated when the project is completed with the crash time of the project.
Normal Cost - Normal Cost is the cost associated when the project is completed within the normal time.
Normal Time - (Measured in Day) - Normal Time is the amount of time initially planned to complete the activity.
Crash Time - (Measured in Day) - Crash Time is the amount of time that activity will take if the additional resources are expended.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Crash Cost: 400 --> No Conversion Required
Normal Cost: 300 --> No Conversion Required
Normal Time: 7 Day --> 7 Day No Conversion Required
Crash Time: 6 Day --> 6 Day No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

CS = (CC-NC)/(NT-CT) --> (400-300)/(7-6)

Evaluating ... ...

CS = 100

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

100 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

100 <-- Cost Slope

What is Cost Optimization?

The Cost Optimization is a process that should be carried out throughout the construction period to ensure that the cost of the building is kept within the estimated cost limits. Cost optimization of a project involves the collecting and measuring the cost record of a project and the work progress.

How to Calculate Cost Slope?

Cost Slope calculator uses Cost Slope = (Crash Cost-Normal Cost)/(Normal Time-Crash Time) to calculate the Cost Slope, The Cost Slope formula is defined as the ratio of an increase in cost to a decrease in time. It is useful for project analysis. Cost Slope is denoted by CS symbol.

How to calculate Cost Slope using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Cost Slope, enter Crash Cost (CC), Normal Cost (NC), Normal Time (NT) & Crash Time (CT) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Cost Slope calculation can be explained with given input values -> 100 = (400-300)/(604800-518400).

FAQ

What is Cost Slope?

The Cost Slope formula is defined as the ratio of an increase in cost to a decrease in time. It is useful for project analysis and is represented as CS = (CC-NC)/(NT-CT) or Cost Slope = (Crash Cost-Normal Cost)/(Normal Time-Crash Time). Crash Cost is the cost associated when the project is completed with the crash time of the project, Normal Cost is the cost associated when the project is completed within the normal time, Normal Time is the amount of time initially planned to complete the activity & Crash Time is the amount of time that activity will take if the additional resources are expended.

How to calculate Cost Slope?

The Cost Slope formula is defined as the ratio of an increase in cost to a decrease in time. It is useful for project analysis is calculated using Cost Slope = (Crash Cost-Normal Cost)/(Normal Time-Crash Time). To calculate Cost Slope, you need Crash Cost (CC), Normal Cost (NC), Normal Time (NT) & Crash Time (CT). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Crash Cost, Normal Cost, Normal Time & Crash Time and hit the calculate button.
