Dear tutor it is my own understanding but if I am wrong please correct it.
any costs relating to swipe cards are direct costs so 1),4) and 6)
any costs relating to testing and installation costs are also direct costs so 2) and 3)
only option apportionment of insurance is indirect?
Yes, you are correct.
thank you very much dear Tutor.all of these question i asked were the question I became unable to answer in my past exam in pm
Dear Tutor, one more thing.
can we consider 1,2, 3 and 5 external direct cost ?
can we consider 6 internal direct cost?
the appoirtment is internal indirect cost
