The impact of Earned Value analysis in managing project cost control is undeniable. When EVM is implemented on a project, there are significant benefits to the project manager and the customer. Project manager benefits include increased visibility and control to proactively respond to issues that can impact project schedule, cost and objectives. Customer benefits include increase confidence in the PM’s ability to manage the project and track the progress of their project. Additionally, EVM provides a wealth of information for accountants. Accountants can use the data to report profitability to the investment community (Wilkens, 1991). There is a true connection between project management and corporate accounting. PMs use data provided by finance departments as inputs to determine cost performance of projects via EVM. This includes information used to create financial statements such as the cash flow statement, used to track the actual cash in hand. Said financial statements are to be crafted in compliance with the U.S. GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles). GAAP impacts every item on a qualifying financial statement. GAAP guidelines dictates how financial statements are produced every step of the way, covering hundreds of different components, according to Stanford University’s Cardinal Money Management website (Gresham, 2012). GAAP encompasses basic accounting principles and guidelines and detailed standards issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board

After setting the entire project to 40% complete on Oct 1, 2008 we can see that the project is behind schedule. The schedule variance of the entire project is $ (736,599) and Schedule performance index is at 0.68, which indicates that for every $1.00 spent in the project we are only getting $0.68 worth of work done. Since we do not have actual cost data, the MS Project calculates the budget is under budget by a negligible $80.

The bible says “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths” (Proverbs3:5-6). After weighting my options between the offer made by the company in Texas and my current business deal, I have decide that it is best for me to discontinue doing business with Marshall. It saddens me to make this decision, but I believe Marshall and I have two different agendas. I have been nothing less than loyal, caring and compassionate when it comes to him and our business relationship. Marshall has been late numerous of times and I refrained from charging him late fees or penalties. He completely disregards the 30 day invoice payment and pays between 45 and 60 days. This act alone should have been a red flag for me, but I gave him the benefit of doubt. Not only does he violates the invoice, but he has broken my level of trust with him. Marshall had my son, a minor at the time, sign a contract behind my back with no intentions on informing me. How can I continue doing business with him if he isn’t trustworthy? Now I’m beginning to question his motive and his character after displaying this type of behavior.

The reason parents read fairytales to their children is not for the sheer purpose of entertainment (or to get them to just fall asleep already), nor is it to install false hope. These improbable stories are didactic. Parents recite these tales in the hopes of inspiring their children and teaching them a life lesson. If the girl who was deprived of her father, was treated as a maid, and was verbally abused by her stepmother can get the prince, anyone can preserve through the obstacles of life. Making the Case has the same purpose, however this story is not a fake. TS Kimberly Guilfoyle’s style utilizes powerful anecdotes in Making the Case to successfully explain her life, teach life lessons, and inspire the reader.

The earned variance measurement would take using the schedule and plan budget or actual cost to figure out any variance. When using the earned variance measurement any positive variance indicates earning of the total. Now learning about the two varied understands their nature; a positive variance is indicated. The earned value calculation uses the baseline information on budgeting of the planned value of estimation of the cost.
