In a status report, executives want to know not only where we are today, but also where we will end up. calculating where we will end up financially is not as easy as it sounds. selecting the wrong formula can leave the executives and customers with a faulty impression. there are several formulas available for the calculation of the estimated cost at completion (eac). for simplicity, consider the following three formulas:

eac = (acwp/bcwp) x (budget at completion)
eac = ((acwp/bcwp) x (bcws for work completed and in progress)) +
(planned or revised planned costs of work packages not yet begun)
eac = (actual to date) + (all remaining work, including work in progress,
to be completed at the planned or budgeted costs)

a. using the table below, determine the value of eac for each of the three formulas. assume that a, b, and c are the only work packages in the project, and bcws(total) is the total value for pv for each work package rather than pv for the reporting period. use the following formula for calculating ev:
ev = (% complete) x bcws(total)

activity % complete bcws(total) acwp
a 100 1000 1100
b 50 1000 800
c 0 1000 0
