1) Provide and show all answers and step by step work to obtain the answer, not skipping any steps. Show all equations, acronyms (ie ETC, ACWP, etc), and if applicable, a description of how you came to the answer. Thanks.

Problem:

If BCWS = 60, BCW=50, ACWP=40, and BAC=100, the cumulative CPI method for calculating an IEAC would result in an EAC of?

Note: I believe that you had a typo for BCWS instead of BCWP. BCWP is needed to calculate CPI.

BCWP (Budgeted cost of work performed) or EV (earned value) is the budgeted ...

    Omit the calculations for CPI, SPI, and CSI.

  • Estimate at Completion Problem

    Any significant difference between CPI and TCPI should be accounted for by the project manager in the final cost forecast. Since TCPI is equal to 1 and the CPI is 0.67, there will be a difference in the EAC calculation.

  • IT Project Management Calculations

    Use the CPI to calculate the estimate at completion (EAC) for this project. Is the project performing better or worse than planned?

  • Labor and Material Estimates

    Estimated cost at completion (EAC) = Budget at completion (BAC)/Cost performance index (CPI) CPI = Actual cost of work performed (ACWP) / Budgeted cost of work performed (BCWP) Therefore, EAC = BAC*(ACWP/BCWP) In this case, for labor, EAC

  • BCWP, ACWP, BAC, and EAC

    EAC = (Estimate at Completion) projection of the total cost of the project at completion. CPI = EV/AC = BCWP/ACWP = 42/42 = 1 (This means that the project came in line with the budget.) EAC = AC + (BAC - EV)/ CPI = BAC/CPI = 60/1 = 60.
