1 BAC - Budget at
1 BAC - Budget at completion is palanned value at completion.
2. Remember in EVM, all values AC , EV PV are always represented as cumulative. 7000, is cumulative value of 4rth week, It will be added to EV recorded of week 5, for cumulative EV up to week 5.
As content of question is saying that in week 5 there were no progress = EV of month 5 = 0.
Hence cumulative EV of week 5 will be the same as EV of week 4.
