We setup a baseline plan. Now some time has pass since the project started, it's time to check on the progress, make any adjustment to our plan, and take necessary measures to keep our project on track. The methods we use to analyze project progress and to detect problems are called EVA - earned value analysis. As a follow-up, Task 4 starts with the baseline file we created.
To reduce the scope of the assignment, we only enter the actuals for the activities under the first summary task (initiating). Assume that tasks 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8 were all completed on schedule. But task 5 was finished three days later than scheduled. Do an earned value analysis for the activities under initiating.
Deliverables

2. What are the BCWS, BCWP, ACWP, SV, CV, EAC, BAC, CPI and SPI for the summary task (initiating)? Briefly explain what do those numbers mean?
