Assume you have collected the following data for your project. Its budget is $75,000 and it is expected to last four months. After two months, you have calculated the following information about the project. PV = $45,000 EV = $38,500 AC = $37,000 Calculate the SPI and CPI. Good news or Bad?
SPI = EV/PV = $38,500/45,000 = .86 CPI = EV/AC = $38,500/37,000 = 1.04 SPI < 1 ~ behind schedule CPI > 1 ~ under budget
all are examples of signifiant project risk except
all are significant potential project risks (financial, technical, commercial)
Given the following information, determine the EV of your project. AC = $120,000 PV = $125,000 CV = -$10,000 a. $130,000 b. $110,000 c. $90,000 d. $120,000
b Justification: The formula to calculate CV is EV - AC, so when given both CV and AC, you can use this formula as a basis for solving for EV. CV = EV - AC EV = CV + AC EV = -$10,000 + $120,000 EV = $110,000
