In your project, you are estimating schedule activity costs by determining the unit cost rates, e.g., staff costs per hour. All the following could be used to determine resource cost rates EXCEPT:

 

 1

Statistical relationship between historical data and other variables

 

2

Gathering quotes

 

3

Standard rates with escalation factors (for contracts)

 

 4

Commercial databases or seller published price lists

 IN my opinion it should be 2.

Gathering quotes ---- it is an artivity during, conduct procurement, against (in response of) RFQ.

While gathering quotes, we can ask for the detailed analysis whereas in case of unit rates but incase of commercial databases, it does not provide you the break up.


Hence I would go for answer 4

 Ans Given as 1.

Parametric estimating uses a statistical relationship between historical data and other variables. 
All the other options are valid ways to determine unit cost rates.
