The software development team consist of five freelance programmers appointed through the
projects procurement plan. These programmers, however, are also working on other projects;
therefore, it was decided that they will not be paid an hourly rate. There is a concern that the
programmers might prioritise another project over Project-Alpha, thus, not dedicating
sufficient hours to coding the mobile app. It was then decided to issue a cost plus incentive
fee (CPIF) two month contract to the programmers the programming phase is estimated to
take two months to complete. This means the programmer will receive a basic market related
salary every month along with overtime and predetermined incentive (7.5% of the subtotal) if
they can manage to complete the mobile app ahead of a monthly milestone. Note, a
programmers overtime is not allowed to exceed 20 hours per month. Examine the work
breakdown structure illustrated in Table 2. Kobus instructed you to calculate the monthly wage
of the programming team members, then submit the sheet to payroll.
