Q2 Using the data from the problem above, calculate the following values:
Schedule Variances
Planned Value (PV)
Earned Value (EV)
Schedule Performance Index
Estimated Time to Completion
Cost Variances
Actual Cost of Work Performed
Earned Value (EV)
Cost Performance Index
Estimated Cost to completion
Q3 You are calculating the estimated time to completion for a project of 12 months duration
and a budget cost of $ 500,000. Assume the following information, calculate the schedule
performance index and the estimated time to completion (figures are in thousands).
Schedule Variances
Planned Value (PV) 65
Earned Value (EV) 58
Schedule Performance Index
Estimated Time to Completion
Q4 Suppose for the previous problem your PV was 70 and your EV was 95. Recalculate the
SPI and the estimated time to completion for the project with this new data.
Q5You have collected the following data based on three months of your project’s
performance. Complete the table. Calculate cumulative CPI(CPIC). How is the project
performing after three months? Is the trend positive or negative?
EV EVC AC ACC CPI CPIC
January $30000 $35000
February $95000 $100000
March $125500 $138000
Q6 You have collected EV, AC and PV data from your project for a five-month period.
Complete the table. Calculate SPIC and CPIC compare the cost and schedule performance for
the project on a month-by-month basis and cumulatively. How would you assess the
performance of the project? (All the values are in thousand $).

Q7 Assume you have collected the following data for your project. Its budget is $ 36000, and
it is expected to last six months. After two months, you have calculated the following
information about the project.
PV =$29000
EV = $30500
AC= $ 28000
Calculate the SPI and CPI. Based on these values, estimate the time and budget necessary to
complete project. How would you evaluate these findings? Are they good news or bad news?
