The number of function points of a proposed system is calculated as 500. Suppose that the system is planned to be developed in Java and the LOC/FP ratio of Java is 50. Estimate the effort (E) required to complete the project using the effort formula of basic COCOMO given below:
E = a(KLOC)ᵇ
Assume that the values of a and b are 2.5 and 1.0 respectively.

Correct answer: (C) 62.5 person months
Explanation
LOC = 500 FP × 50 LOC/FP = 25000 LOC = 25 KLOC. E = a(KLOC)ᵇ = 2.5 × (25)¹ = 62.5 person months.
