EAC question

I understand that we should this formula to calculate EAC when variances are typical


EAC = AC + [(BAC-EV) / CPI]


When should we use the following formula?


 EAC = AC + [ (BAC-EV) / (CPI * SPI) ]


Thanks in advance.

Very good question, The 2nd formula will be used when the cost and schedule performance is not equal to 1 and the same performance ( good or bad ) is expected to continue for the rest of the project.
