Problem #1

You have a construction project that requires 12,000 man-hours at a rate of $60 per hour. The estimated duration of the project is 7 months and the total cost of the materials was estimated at $250,000. The scheduled percent complete (PC) of the work and the material consumption for each month is as follows:

Month

1

2

3

4

5

6

7

Monthly Scheduled PC

10%

10%

20%

25%

15%

15%

5%

This means on month 1, 10% of the work and materials is supposed to be used, on month 2 another 10% and so on and on.

At the end of month #5, earned value analysis is performed and it is found that only 35% of the work has been completed. The other available information is as follows:

  • 60% of the man-hours were spent by the end of the 5th month.
  • 40% of the materials were consumed by the end of the 5th month.
  • A change order estimated at $30,000 was issued and approved at the end of month # 6.
  • The material costs escalated by 35% after the 5th month.
  • 30% of the cost of material consumed by the end of the 4th month was escalated by 20%.

Using the above-mentioned information, calculate the following:

  1. Original BAC
  2. BCWS
  3. BCWP
  4. ACWP
  5. SV
  6. CV
  7. DCWP
  8. Expenditure variance
  9. SPI
  10. EAC considering the same rate of progress
