You have a project to be completed in 12 months, and the total cost of the project is 100,000 USD. Six months have passed and 60,000 USD has been spent, but on closer review you find that only 40% of the work has been completed so far. Your project is expected to perform with the same cost performance. Find the Estimate to Complete (ETC) and EAC for this project.

given the following information for a 1-year project, answer the following questions. Assume you have actual and earned value data at the end of the second month. Recall that PV is the plan value, Evie is the earned value, AC is the actual cost, and BAC is the budget at completion.pv =$ 23,000ev = 20,000ac= 25,000bac = 130,000a. what is the cost variance, schedule variance, cost performance index CPI and schedule performance index SPI for the project?B. how is the project progressing? Is it ahead of schedule or behind schedule? Is it under budget or over budget?C. use the CPI to calculate the estimate at completion EAC for this project.d. use the SPI to estimate how long it will take to finish this project.e. sketch the earned value chart for this project, use the figure below as a guide. Assume the data for month one is half of the values given for Pv, Ev and ac at the end of month 2
A project manager reports a project with a CPI of 1.08 and a SPI of .98. What do these metrics tell you about their project?

You are conducting a small IT project. The duration of this project is 30 days, and you have allocated $60,000 for it. Your manager asked you to check how the project is doing financially at the end of day 25. You have spent $40,000 and completed 95% of the work. Calculate the following values for the project so far. The cost variance (CV). The cost performance index (CPI). How is the project doing, is it under budget or over budget? Use the CPI to calculate the estimate at completion (EAC) for this project. Is the project performing better or worse than planned?

You are the project manager of the softwaration project in the table below. You would like to find the minimum-cost schedule for your project. There is a $500-per-week penalty for each week the prop delayed beyond week 25.

there are four project baselines. Scope baseline Schedule baseline Cost baseline Performance measurement baseline Pick one of the baselines above, explain it, and tell us how it is applied to monitor and control a project. If possible, use the Getta Byte Project to provide examples.
Why is EVM not used more? Explain how it can manage budgets and evaluate project performance. How do you evaluate cost variation, schedule variance, cost performance index, and schedule performance index figures?
What are the two common approaches in considering the risk elements in a project evaluation?
Explain how earned value management (EVM) may control costs and monitor project success and hypothesise why it is not utilised more commonly. What are some guidelines for evaluating cost variation, schedule variance, cost performance index, and schedule performance index numbers?
