- In month 9 the following project information is available: actual cost is $2,000, earned value is $2,100, and planned cost is $2,400.  Compute the SV and CV for the project.
- On day 51 a project has an earned value of $600, an actual cost of $650, and a planned cost of $560.  Compute the SV, CV, and CPI for the project.  What is your assessment of the project on day 51?
