a. Using the two tables, calculate the total function point count of Project Epsilon.

b. Assume that historical data show that five function points can be done with one person-month and that six people have been assigned to work on Epsilon. What is the estimated project duration? c. If 20 people are available for the project, what is the estimated project duration? d. If the project must be complete in six months, how many people will be needed for the project?
