      Without any kind of specifications that info is totally useless for you. I can make a normal website for €100, but also for €1.000.000. That goes for all 4 points.

        if i can give you some basic specifications can you tell me the cost. please give me some valid reference, so i can cite it. since this is an assignment for my college. these systems are suggested for a click and mortar company. a book retailer. 1. website they currently have a website, what needs to be done is they should provide a login to the cargo company who handles their delivery service to check the orders. so they can manage their delivery better. 2. Online consortium this is a web portal to support online group purchasing. they can join with few other local book retailers. and addition to that this portal should also help them to manage their corporate customers (they have universities and colleges). 3. marketing and promotion monitoring system this is to manage their promotional activities and to monitor most profitable marketing channel. 4. demand forecasting based on their sales a system to focus their demands on each branch. Please help me on this.

          I think the idea may be for YOU to create a high level specification of the requirements for each type of web site, then try and estimate the costs. Asking for references and links is just lazy!

            That depends on the speed of your team and the size of that "normal website". Their speed is dependent on knowledge, routine, motivation, cooperation, and a whole lotta more variables.

            More time than a normal website. Depends on what a consortium turns out to be :)

            Sounds like a standard database-application. Any experience with those?

              A Risk and Return Analysis isn't typically a software development document. I was curious and it appears to be something found in the financial industry. If it is a financial course you are studying can't you just make up the figures and reference make-believe quotes you received from make-believe software companies? Otherwise what you are asked to provide is a mammoth task. I'd get clarification from the teacher first.

                In evaluating cost of a job take into account Albert Einstein : Not everything that can be counted counts and not everything that counts can be counted.

                  I agree that it ain't directly connecting to the computer science approach, and sounds more likely to be a marketing approach. But I guess he ask on a development forum in the fact that he doesn't know the software price estimate variables... But as Eddy say's, its a combination of many variables related to a giving project.
