Level of efforts
work that does not lend itself to subdivision in
discrete schedule increment work
Type of variances
Budgeted cost of work schedule: BCWS is the
budgeted amount of cost for work scheduled to
be accomplished plus the amount or level of
efforts
Budgeted cost of work performed: BCWP is the
budgeted amount of cost for completed work
plus budgeted for level of efforts completed
within given time period, (earned value)
Type of variances
Actual cost of work performed: ACWP :is
the amount reported as actually expended in
completing the work accomplished within a
given period
Variances Calculation
Cost Variance
CV = BCWP -ACWP
a negative value = cost over run
Schedule variance = BCWP - BCWS
a negative value indicate behind schedule condition
Cost variance percent = CVP = CV/BCWP
Schedule variance percent = SVP = SV/BCWS
Variances Calculation
Cost performance index
CPI = BCWP/ ACWP

Calculating BCWP
Major problem with Variance Analysis
BUDGETED COST FOR WORK PERFORMED
Methods available
Use $$$ value regardless of % complete
No matter how much task is completed if the
project is 20% in time then 20% $ should be
BCWP
Calculating BCWP
50/50 Rule
Half of the budget is recorded at the start of the
scheduled work and half at completion
Advantages
Eliminate the calculation of % complete
Calculating BCWP
0/100
Usually for small activities
Value is earned at the end of the activity
Milestone
Long work / activities
Value is earned at the completion of milestone.
% complete
Long work duration with no milestone
Value earned is the reported % of the budget
Calculating BCWP
Cost formula (80/20)
Variation of % complete for long duration work
Equivalent unit
Similar unit work
Earnings are in completed unit not in labor
Level of effort
Estimate at Completion
$$$ or Hours
Realistic appraisal of the work when performed
Sum of all direct and indirect cost to date and the
estimates of all remaining work
EAC = cumulative actual + estimate to complete
Variance at Completion

Formula III EAC = [Actual to date] + [All remaining work to be at planned cost
including remaining work in progress ].
= 1900+[500+1000]=$3400.

Summary Variance
Total price variance for direct labor
= Actual units * ( BCWP - ACWP )
= 17,853 * ($30.00 - $31.07)
= $ 19,102.71
