Which type of cost estimating is the preferred most accurate method?

The preferred and most accurate method of cost estimating is typically the "bottom-up" estimating approach. This method involves analyzing individual components of a project in detail and aggregating their costs to develop a comprehensive estimate. It allows for greater precision since it considers specific tasks, resources, and timelines, making it particularly effective for complex projects. While more time-consuming, it often results in more reliable estimates compared to top-down methods.


What is technical audit?

A technical audit is an audit performed at a company or manufacturer where the auditor, engineer or subject matter expert (SME) evaluates deficiencies or areas of improvement in a manufacturing process, system or proposal. EXAMPLES: A technical audit of a proposal would include an engineer or SME's evaluation of the work to be performed in that proposal. The SME would draw conclusions by evaluating the proposal and the work outlined in that proposal. The SME would identify deficiencies in the process or areas of improvement in that process that would increase efficiency, reduce hours or reduce the cost of that proposal. A technical audit for a company performing research and development (R&D) the auditor or SME would evaluate the projects being performed and identify deficient areas in the projects or deficient projects themselves. Often times in R&D there is more work than manpower and projects can be prioritized or eliminated to increase production and reduce (or maintain) manpower. A technical audit of a manufacturer would include an engineer or SME's evaluation of manufacturing processes or systems used at a manufacturer to manage the production line. The SME would identify losses or other areas of improvement in the production line that would increase efficiency and as a result reduce cost.

Which ciruscometances wacc can be used as investment appraisal?

The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) can be used as an investment appraisal when evaluating projects or investments with similar risk profiles as the overall company. It provides a discount rate that reflects the combined cost of equity and debt financing for the company, and is used to calculate net present value (NPV) or internal rate of return (IRR) of the investment. WACC is appropriate when the investment's risk is similar to the company's overall risk and the company's capital structure is stable.

What is the formula for haylett calculation?

The Haylett calculation, commonly used in financial contexts, typically refers to evaluating the financial viability of investments or projects. It often involves analyzing cash flows, discount rates, and net present value (NPV). While there isn't a specific "Haylett formula," it generally incorporates standard financial formulas like NPV = Σ (Cash Flow / (1 + r)^t), where "r" is the discount rate and "t" is the time period. If you meant a different context or a specific aspect of Haylett calculations, please clarify!
