Default How to add A fixed cost per day for the duration of the project?

Hi!

I am currently doing a course in project management as part of my Masters Degree in Engineering Management.

I have to implement a fixed cost of $5000 per day for the duration of the project. This means that if the duration shortens due to crashing or prolongs due to external factors MS Project needs to calculate the (5000)*(duration of project) and add it to the Project Cost.



I have tried Googling but have not found anything of help. Might just be missing something very basic here.

I am running MS Project 2013.

Thank you very much!

You may assign material resources at a specific cost per day. Add a hammock task to the project:

Create a material resource with a cost (standard rate) of $5000. Split your screen to show the Gantt chart in the upper pane and the task form in the lower pane. Select the material resource form Resource Name list and in the units field, enter 1/d to assign the $5000 resource at one per day.
