Cost of task
To now calculate the cost of each task, a salary is assumed for the individual dedicating time to the identified Task. In this scenario, a strong assumption was made using an annual salary of $100K, or $48/hour. Hours Spent on the Task is then multiplied by $48/hour to calculate the cost of that task monthly.
