Cost The calculated cost of a resource based on the activities with which it is associated. The amount is based on the resource standard rate and cost per use. | X | X | |||
Cost/Use Any additional cost per unit time that should be calculated in the overall cost of activities assigned to the resource. The cost per use is adjusted according to the percentage of the resource time used. For example, if your resource is a piece of equipment, it might have a fee of $60 that is separate from its hourly rate. If you assign that machine as a resource and allocate 50% of its use to that activity, then $30 is added to the activity cost. | X | ||||
