Explanation / Answer

Answer:

Schedule Variances

         

          Planned Value (PV)                                                      88

          Earned Value (EV)                                                      54.07

          Schedule Performance Index           EV/PV = 54.07/88 = .6144

         

          Estimated Time to Completion       (1/.6144 x 6) = 9.77 months

Cost Variances

          Actual Cost of Work (AC)                                           94

          Earned Value (EV)                                                       54.07

          Cost Performance Index                  EV/AC = 54.07/94 = .5752            

         

          Estimated Cost to Completion        (1/.5752 x $250,000) = $434631.4325
