  1. A project is 50% complete. The Budget at Completion (BAC) is $200,000, and the Actual Cost (AC) is $110,000. What is the Estimate at Completion (EAC) assuming the current CPI will continue?

    Answer: $220,000

    EV = 50% × $200,000 = $100,000; CPI = $100,000 / $110,000 = 0.909; EAC = BAC / CPI = $200,000 / 0.909 ≈ $220,000.

    Answer: Monitor and Control Project Work
