Primavera is calculating Budgeted Cost by following equation , w.r.t Price / Unit.
For example:

a) Price / Unit: $120 /d
b) Suppose Duration of the activity is 10 days.
c) Budgeted cost is shown as $ 150 instead of $ 1200, which means primavera is calculating Budget cost based on the following formula i.e.

(120 / 8) (No of working hours in a day) * 10 (duration)= $150.

But it take this formula: 120 * 10days = $1200, why this is happening??? Kindly advice.....

    Haresh,
    This is common if you modify your resource rate or change something which is also affected by duration type setting. If both prices assigned to resource and activity detail, resource tab are the same then try this.
    Tools-> Recalculate assigment Cost. That should fixed the problem.

    Note: Things that needs to check
    1) Edit-> User Preferences-> Time Units tab-> Unit Format (is it hour or day?)
    2) Resource max unit/time = (8/day or 10/day)
    3) Resource Price/ Unit = ($?/h or $?/d)
    4) Activity Window-> Resource tab-> Budget Unit = ?
    5) Activity Window-> Resource tab-> Price/unit = ($?/h or $?/d)
