You have collected the following data based on three months of your project$$s performance.

Complete the table. Calculate cumulative CPI $($CPIC$).$ How is the project performing after these

three months? Is the trend positive or negative?

EV EV C AC AC C CPI CPI C

January $$30,000$ $$35,000$

February $$95,000$ $$100,000$

March $$125,500$ $$138,000$

Overall, the project is performing below required levels $($assuming CPI should equal $1\mathrm{.}0$ or

higher$).$ However, the original poor value is trending moderately better $($moving from $0\mathrm{.}86$

to $0\mathrm{.}92$ over three months$).$ Trend is positive but the CPI is still under$-$performing
