Problem: $3(9$ questions$)$

You are managing a small software development project with $10$ modules. The project has $3$ deliverables, Design, Code, and Test that are done sequentially with no overlap and each deliverable takes $10$ days. The table below describes each of the deliverables:

Deliverable

$ $20,000$

Test Complete

$ $40,000$

Design and Code are measured by the modules completed and Test is measured by test cases completed $($of which there are $50$ test cases$).$ There is no learning curve on this project.

The Project Sponsor has asked you to provide a status report every $10$ days using Earned Value. Specifically, the Project Sponsor wants the CPI, SPI, and EAC for the project included in each status report.

Status Report $1$

$10$ days into the project, the design team has almost completed the $10$ modules. The results are:

Status Report $2$

$20$ days into the project, the design team is complete, but coding has fallen behind due to some technical problems. The results are:

$17.$ For the first status report, the CPI for project is approximately: a$.1\mathrm{.}00$

b$.0\mathrm{.}90$

c$.1\mathrm{.}11$

d$.0\mathrm{.}75$

e$.1\mathrm{.}20$

Up till day $10$ Design divided by cost

$0\mathrm{.}09$ x $10,000=9000$

CPI $=9000/12,000=0\mathrm{.}75$

$18.$ For the first status report, the SPI for the project is

a$.1\mathrm{.}00$

b$.0\mathrm{.}90$

c$.1\mathrm{.}11$

d$.0\mathrm{.}75$

e$.1\mathrm{.}20$

$19.$ For the first status report, the EAC for project is approximately: a$.$ $$40,000$

b$.$ $$45,000$

c$.$ $$48,000$

d$.$ $$53,000$

e$.$ None of the above
