Question

You are preparing a project to lay fiber optic cable. The first task is to mobilize the team. You estimate this will take one week and cost $3000. The second task is to lay the cable. This will take three weeks and will cost $45,000. The total length of the cable is 15 miles. The last task, which will take one week, is to Terminate and test the cable. You budget $5000 for this. At the end of the first week, you have completed mobilization, but it cost a total of $4500. At the end of the third week, you have completed five miles of cable at a total cost of $28,000 (installation only). It takes you a total of 10 weeks to complete the entire project, for a total cost of $65,000.

At the end of week 1:

i.What is your SPI?

ii.What is your CPI?

iii.What is your EAC?

At the end of week 3:

i.What is your SPI?

ii.What is your CPI?

iii.What is your EAC?

At the end of the project:

i.What is your SPI?

ii.What is your CPI?

iii.What is your EAC?

Explanation / Answer

At the end of week -1

SPI = EV/PV

      EV = PV = $3000

SPI = 1

CPI = EV/AC

      = 3000/4500 = 0.67

EAC = BAC/CPI = 3000/0.67 = $ 4500

At the end of 3rd week:

PV = $45000

EV = (5/15)*45000 = $15000

SPI = EV/PV = 15000/45000 = 0.33

CPI = EV/AC = 15000/28000 = 0.54

EAC = BAC/CPI = 45000/0.54 = $84000

End of Project:

SPI =1

CPI= (3000+45000+5000)/65000 = 0.82

EAC = BAC/CPI = (53000)/0.82 = $65000
