Q

What is the formula for NPV

A

NPV=FV/(1+r)^n

FV= Future Value
r = interest rate
n = number of time periods

Eg:
FV=$500,000
r= .08
n= 5 years

NPV=$500,000 / (1+.08)^5
NPV=$500,000 / (1+.08)x(1+.08)x(1+.08)x(1+.08)x(1+.08)
NPV=$500,00/1.469
NPV=$340,292

Q

What is the 3 Point Estimate Formula when estimating work?

A

3PE = (O+P+ML)/3

O=Optimistic
P= Pessimistic
ML = Most likely

Eg:
3PE=(O+P+ML)/3
3PE=(24+80+40)/3
3PE=144/3
3PE=48 Hrs

Q

What does PERT stand for? What is the PERT formula when estimating work?

A

Program Evaluation and Review Tecnique

PERT= (O+P+4ML)/6

O=Optimistic
P= Pessimistic
ML = Most likely

Eg:
PERT=(O+P+ML4)/6
PERT=(24+80+4(40))/6

Q

What is the Standard Deviation of PERT Estimate when estimating work and how is it used?

A

SD=(P-O)/6

O=Optimistic
P= Pessimistic

Used when you want to find a range of + or - of a given PERT estimate.

Eg:
SD=(P-O)/6
SD=(80-24)/6
SD=9.3 hours + or -

Q

How do you calculate the duration of a task?

A

D=Effort/Productivity/Working Time

Eg:
Task =80 hours with 1 person working 100% of their time for an 8 hour work day:

D=80 hrs / 1 / 8
D=10 days

Eg:
Task =80 hours with 2 people working 100% of their time for an 8 hour work day:

D=80 hrs / 2 / 8
D=5 days

Q

What is the formula for % Spent?

A

% Spent = AC/BAC

AC=Actual Cost
BAC=Budget at Completion

Eg:
% Spent = 350k/500k
% Spent = 70%

Q

What is the formula for Cost Variance?

A

CV = EV-AC

EV=Earned Value
AC=Actual Cost

Eg:
CV=375k-350k
CV=25k

+=Under budget
-=Over budget

Q

What is the Formula for Schedule Variance?

How much value has been earned vs how much was planned to be spent.

A

SV=EV-PV

EV=Earned Value
PV=Planned Value

Eg:
SV=375k-325k
SV=50k

+=Ahead of schedule
-=Behind schedule

Q

What is the formula for Cost Performance Index?

A

CPI=EV/AC

EV=Earned Value
AC=Actual Cost

Eg:
CPI=375k/350k
CPI=1.07

<1 =Unfavourable trend
>1 =Favourable trend

Q

What is the formula for Schedule Performance Index?

A

SPI=EV/PV

EV=Earned Value
PV=Planned Value

Eg:
SPI=375k/325k
SPI=1.15

The project is 15% ahead of schedule.

Q

What is the formula for Estimate At Completion if the trend is NOT expected to continue?

The current cost & schedule performance are not a factor to the EAC.

A

EAC=AC+(BAC-EV)

AC=Actual Cost
BAC=Budget at Completion
EV=Earned Value

Eg:
EAC=350k + (500k-375k)
EAC=350k + 125k
EAC=475k

The projected cost of the project at completion is 475k

Q

What is the formula for Estimate At Completion if the trend IS expected to continue performing at the same CPI?

A

EAC=BAC/CPI

BAC=Budget at Completion
CPI=Cost Performance Index

EAC=500K/1.07
EAC=467k

The projected cost of the project at completion is 467k

Q

What is the formula for Estimate At Completion if the schedule and cost trend IS expected to continue?

A

EAC=AC+[(BAC-EV)/(CPIxSPI)]

AC=Actual Cost
BAC=Budget at Completion
EV=Earned Value
CPI=Cost Performance
Index
SPI=Schedule Performance Index

Eg:
EAC=350k+[(500k-375k)/(1.07/1.15)]
EAC=350k+101k
EAC=451k

The projected cost of the project at completion is 451k

Q

What is the formula for Variance at Completion?

A

VAC=BAC-EAC (EAC option1-3)

VAC=500K-467k
VAC=33k

+=Under budget
-=Over budget

Q

What is the formula for Estimate to Completion?

How much money will be needed to complete the project based on an EAC.

A

ETC=EAC-AC

Eg:
ETC=467k-350k
ETC=117k

The project will need 117k to be completed if (EAC option 1-3 for context).

17
Q

What is the formula for Time To Complete Performance Index?
Work Remaining/Money Remaining

A

TCPI=Work Remaining/Money Remaining

TCPI=(BAC-EV)/(BAC-AC)

BAC=Budget At Completion
EV=Earned Value
AC=Actual Cost

Eg:
TCPI=(500k/375k)/(500k-350k)
TCPI=125k/150k
TCPI=0.83

The project will only need to earn .83 for every $1 spent for the remainder of the project to land within the budget.
