Question: Question 1 : ( 5 points ) A project to build a new bridge seems to be going very well since the project is well

Question 1: (5 points)
A project to build a new bridge seems to be going very well since the project is well ahead of schedule
and costs seem to be running very low. A major milestone has been reached where the first two
activities have been totally completed and the third activity is 60% complete. The planners were only
expecting to be 50% through the third activity at this time. The first activity involves prepping the site for
the bridge. It was expected that this would cost $1,420,000 and it was done for only $1,300,000. The
second activity was the pouring of concrete for the bridge. This was expected to cost $10,500,000 but
was actually done for $9,000,000. The third and final activity is the actual construction of the bridge
superstructure. This was expected to cost a total of $8,500,000. To date they have spent $5,000,000 on
the superstructure.
Calculate the schedule variance, schedule performance index, and cost index for the project
to date. How is the project going?
