what is burn rate?

87. A project was assessed and the following Earned value data have been found: PV: $750,000 EV: $750,000 AC: $900,000 What is the Burn rate of the project?


 


o 1.20


o 1.10


o 1.00


o 0.83


 

BURN RATE=1/CPI

BURN RATE=1/CPI

CPI = EV/AC

=> Burn rate = AC/EV = 900,000/750,000 = 1.2


Perhaps part of your question has to do with understanding the relationship between burn rate and Earned Value Management. PMI has an article on this topic. It's free if you are a member. Please see http://marketplace.pmi.org/Pages/ProductDetail.aspx?GMProduct=00100294501 for more information.

CPI is 1 so if they are asking about Burn Rate not sure this is the answer.
