Tracking Man Hours

I'm working on tracking man hours associated to a project. 

 

Question 1:

Is there a way Project will calculate man hours based on the resource "work" as it relates to the duration of the task?  For example, if my duration is 2 weeks, can Project calculate my man hours as 160 hours if I have the ability to make the inputs as 2 men for 8 hour days with 10 working days?

 

Questions 2:

If the question above is possible, can we track the delta man hours based on completed work?  For example, if I have 160 hours allocated for a task, and I mark the task as 50% complete, will Project calculate that I have 80 man hours left to complete the task?

 

Thank you for any and all input on these questions.

    saintbm08,

    Yes, and yes.

    Question 1:

    This screen shot shows a 10 day fixed duration task with two individual resources assigned at 100%.

    Question 2:

    That same task is now statused at 50% complete. The Remaining Work field shows 80 hours

    Hope this helps.

    John
