Question

Activity A is worth $100, is complete, and actually cost $150. Activity B is worth $500, is 75% complete, and has actually cost $400 so far. Activity C is worth $500, is 25% complete, and has actually cost $200 so far. What is the estimated cost at completion for this project, assuming current variances are typical of future variances?

Answer 1

$1,375

Step-by-step explanation:

Budget at completion = Worth of activity A + Worth of activity B + Worth of activity C

Budget at completion = $100 + $500 + $500

Budget at completion = $1,100

Earned value = Worth of activity A*% completed + Worth of activity B*% completed + Worth of activity C*% completed

Earned value = $100*100% + $500*75% + $500*25%

Earned value = $100 + $375 + $125

Earned value = $600

Actual cost = Actual cost of Activity A + Actual cost of Activity B + Actual cost of Activity C

Actual cost = $150 + $400 + $200

Actual cost = $750

Cost performance Index = Earned value / Actual cost

Cost performance Index = $600 / $750

Cost performance Index = 0.80

Cost performance Index = 80%

Estimate at completion = Budget at completion / Cost performance Index

Estimate at completion = $1,100 / 0.80

Estimate at completion = $1,375
