[Planner] Cost calculations




I have just noticed, Planner's cost calculation is not quite right. It appears, it misinterprets the resource "units" value. I thought the "units" figure is really the percentage of time a resource is expected (allowed) to work on a task. The default is 100, which I think should be labeled with a %.

Here is what happens:

A Task takes 3 days to finish. There is one resource allocated to it at 50% time and 45 cost. Planner properly calculates the task to take six days (because of 50% resource), but the cost is calculated at 540. I would think, it should be 3*8*45= 1080 (three days * 8 hours * 45 $/hour). Or, perhaps, 6*4*45=1080 (six days * 4 hours * 45 $/h).

Same thing with another task. It takes 5 days to finish, the allocated resource works 5% of time at cost of 30. Planner properly calculates the task to take 100 days to finish, but the cost is calculated at 60. I would think, it should be 5*8*30=1200. Or, 100*(8/20)*30=1200.

I am using version 0.11.
