ETC and PV

(1) Activity A is worth $200, is 100% complete, and actually cost $200. Activity B is worth $75, is 90% complete, and actually cost $120 so far. Activity C is worth $200, is 75% complete, and has cost $175 so far. The total budget is $1,000. What is the estimate to complete for the project?


A. $1,100.04

B. $1,000

C. $691.24

D. $1,185.63

(2) Activity A is worth $200, is 100% complete, should have been done on day 1, and actually cost $200. Activity B is worth $75, is 90% complete, should have been done on day 2, and actually cost $120 so far. Activity C is worth $200, is 75% complete and should have been done on day 3, and has cost $175 so far. The total budget is $1,000. What is the planned value as of day 2?

 A. $275.00 

B. -$417.50 

C. $495.00 

D. -$275.00

Pls I want to make some comparison with the 2 qs; hope u wouldn't mind the double posts.

 

 

1C

Just sum up EV and AC and calculate EAC=BAC/CPI. Then use the result to calculate ETC=EAC+AC.

 

 

2A

Just sum up PV for activity A and B

 1

AC = 200+120+175 =495

BAC = EAC = AC+ETC

1000 = 495+ETC

ETC = 1000-495 = 505

-------------------

OR

According to table 10.15 of PMBOK calculating individually EV AC CPI etc.

IF BAC = 1000

EV of A,B,C = 200+75+200 = 475 

Remaining EV = 525

EAC = 200+ 75/CPI of B + 200/ CPI of C  + 525 (Assume cost impact is typical as 10% and 25% work remained)

EAC = 200 + 75/0.5625  + 200/0.857  + 525 = 1091.67

1091.67 = AC +ETC 

=> 1091.67 = 495 + ETC 

ETC = 596.67

but both answer are not in options.

---------------------------------------------------

If sum up AC and against EV 

AC = 200+ 120 +175 = 495

EV = 200+67.5+150 = 417.5

CPI = 417.5/495 = 0.843434

EAC = 1000/0.843434 = 1185.63

ETC = 1185.63 - 495 = 690.63 APPROX OPTION C

---------------------------------

2

Cummulative planned value at second day is PV = 200 +75 = 275 (OPTION A)
