This C/SSR shows the cost and schedule status of our project as of the end of last month. The numbers in the "Budget" column represent how much money was budgeted to be spent on each of the tasks at the end of reporting period. Applying earned value management (EVM) principles, answer the following six questions:
a) What is the schedule variance (SV) for the project as of the end of last month?
b) What is the cost variance (CV) for the project as of the end of last month?
c) What is the value of cost performance index (CPI)?
d) What is the value of the schedule performance index (SPI)?
e) If the total budget for the project as of its completion date is $600,000, what is the value of estimate at complete (EAC)?
f) In one paragraph, summarize the cost and schedule status of this project using the earned value
