Question 4

15 VZORCE
You are working on a cement plan maintenance project. The total estimated budget for project is $100000. At 40% completion of the actual work, the actual cost spent is $60000. At the same pace, how much more money will it take to complete the project?
SELECT THE CORRECT ANSWER

$123,512

$97,889

$122,678

$89,254

Answer 4

Correct Option:D

EXPLANATION

The question says “how much more” money you would need to complete the project. So the question requires us to calculate the ETC. First we will calculate EV by using the formula %completeBAC(40%100000), which would be $40000, then we will derive the CPI by the formula EV/AC (40000/60000), which would be 0.67. We need to use the CPI to calculate EAC by the formula BAC/CPI (100000/0.67), which would be 149254, and finally we need to calculate ETC by the formula EAC-AC (149254-60000) = 89254.
