The assumptions that are made in order to prepare the budget are as follows:
Budget: It is assumed that the budget that is needed for repairing the Australian storage facility will be completed within the budget $$82,400. It is assumed that even if few project activities will be added then also the variation in the project budget will not be more.
Scope creep will not occur: The project manager assumed that scope creep would not occur within the project. If scope creep occurs due to some reason then also the budget of the project will not vary much.
Time: It is assumed that the time that is needed in order to repair the Australian storage tank will be around 3 months. The project manager will execute the entire project successfully within the assumed time that is estimated.
