Variable and Fixed Cost and Income

There are two types of costs in RiskyProject:

• Fixed costs, which are associated with tasks; and,
• Variable costs, which are associated with resources.

Costs associated with resources are calculated based on rate, units assigned, and work of the particular resource.
Income is always fixed. You define it in the same manner as fixed costs. Both fixed cost and income can be accrued at the beginning of the task, at end of the task or be prorated.

You define and verify costs and income in the Cost and Revenue tab (Schedule tab if the workflow bar) and report results within Revenue Report view (Report tab for the workflow bar).
