Total Physical Source Lines of Code (SLOC)                = 984,433
Development Effort Estimate, Person-Years (Person-Months) = 277.89 (3,334.70)
 (Basic COCOMO model, Person-Months = 2.4 * (KSLOC**1.05))
Schedule Estimate, Years (Months)                         = 4.54 (54.54)
 (Basic COCOMO model, Months = 2.5 * (person-months**0.38))
Estimated Average Number of Developers (Effort/Schedule)  = 61.14
Total Estimated Cost to Develop                           = $ 37,539,380
 (average salary = $56,286/year, overhead = 2.40).
