Chapter 7, Problem 14P
The ACWP at the end of the second week for the project in Problem 12 is $37,900. Determine the CPI for the project.
A project consists of three tasks. Task A is scheduled to begin at the start of Week 1 and finish at the end of Week 3. Task B is scheduled to begin at the start of Week 1 and finish at the end of Week 2. Task C is scheduled to begin at the start of Week 2 and end at the end of Week 3. The budgeted cost for Task A is $22,000, for Task B is $17,000, and for Task C is $15,000. At the end of the second week, Task A is 65% complete, Task B is 95% complete, and Task C is 60% complete. What is the SPI for the project at the end of the second week?

An activity originally estimated to cost $100,000 and require 30 weeks to complete. Now the activity is on week 10 and $35,000 were spent and is 40% completed. What is the ACWP for this activity?
In a 5 months project and original budget of $1500, the 40% work are completed in 3 months at actual
cost of $900. Determine (i) Estimate at Completion (EAC), (ii) Estimate to Completion (ETC), Schedule
Performance Index (SPI), (iv) Estimate Time To Complete (ETTC).
(Note: Currently the project is running overbudgeted with CPI = 0.67).
You were told that the project actual cost of the work completed is $350,000 but budgeted cost at completion has been estimated to be $ 500,000. If earned value is $250,000, the possible EAC will be equal to
