Project: Build a privacy fence at a cost of $100 per
section
Total of 30 sections to be built over 5 days
BAC = Budget at Completion = 3000 $ = Planned Cost
Today Value Acronym
Plan = 6 sections $600 Planned Value (PV)
Built only 5 sections $500 Earned Value (EV)
Actual Cost $650 Actual Cost (AC)
Interpretation:
Cost Variance = EV - AC = 500 - 650 = -$150 (cost overrun)
CPI = Cost Performance Index = EV/AC = 500/650 = 10/13 =0.769 (1)
Schedule Variance = EV - PV = 500 - 600 = -$100 (behind schedule)
SPI = Schedule Performance Index = EV/PV = 500/600 = 5/6 = 0.83 (1)
5 days of work = 6*5 = 30 sections = 3000 $ = BAC Budget at
completion
Forecast
Work Remaining = BAC – EV = 3000-500 = 2500 = 25 section
Fund Remaining = BAC – AC = 3000-650 = 2350
Possibility 1
We do not revise the original budget and complete the work
TCPI = To-complete-performance-index = 2500/2350 =(BAC-EV)/(BAC-
AC)= 1.06
Possibility 2
EAC = Estimate at Completion
Possibility 2.1 - 3150 (CPI will remain 1) aTypical
EAC = AC + (BAC-EV) = 650+(3000-500) = 3150
Possibility 2.2 - EAC= BAC/CPI = 3000/0.769 = 3900 (CPI will
persist 0.769(Typical)
ETC = Estimate To Complete (remaining Work) = 3900-650=3250 Or
3150-650=2500 ETC=EAC - AC
