  • Estimate at Completion Problem

    Since TCPI is equal to 1 and the CPI is 0.67, there will be a difference in the EAC calculation. The EAC will be understated based on the TCPI calculation as compared to the EAC calculation with CPI.

    Using the CPI to calculate the EAC: EAC = $200,000 / 1.111 = $180,000 - Performance better than planned.

  • Labor and Material Estimates

    Estimated cost at completion (EAC) = Budget at completion (BAC)/Cost performance index (CPI) CPI = Actual cost of work performed (ACWP) / Budgeted cost of work performed (BCWP) Therefore, EAC = BAC*(ACWP/BCWP) In this case, for labor, EAC

  • BCWP, ACWP, BAC, and EAC

    CPI = EV/AC = BCWP/ACWP = 42/42 = 1 (This means that the project came in line with the budget.) EAC = AC + (BAC - EV)/ CPI = BAC/CPI = 60/1 = 60.
