Chapter 7, Problem 16P
Determine the total estimated cost at completion and estimated cost to complete for the project in Problem 14, assuming the CPI remains the same through the remainder of the job.
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?
