Which of the following situations will cause schedule activity duration estimates to directly influence the cost estimates EXCEPT:
A. When resource cost rate information is unavailable from commercial databases
B. When resources are applied per unit of time of duration of schedule activity
C. When union labor with regularly expiring collective bargaining agreements are involve
D. When seasonal cost variations are involve Saving Changes...
I'd lean towards "A" as you wouldn't be able to determine your people costs based on their allocation to activities. "C" is tempting, but unless the agreements expire over the life of the project or you are unable to estimate the change to the hourly rates based on renegotiated agreements this shouldn't be a concern.
