EAC formulas vary with assumptions. When both cost and schedule performance are expected to continue impacting completion costs, a common heuristic is EAC = BAC / (CPI × SPI). Substituting: CPI × SPI = 0.90 × 0.80 = 0.72; EAC = 900,000 / 0.72 = 1,250,000. Option C (1,125,000) corresponds to BAC/CPI only, which ignores schedule drag on cost. Option B lacks basis. Option A assumes perfect future performance, contradicting the stated persistence of inefficiencies. CAPM requires understanding when to use alternative EACs: BAC/CPI (cost inefficiency only), AC + Bottom-Up ETC (when future work re-estimated), or BAC/(CPI×SPI) (when schedule and cost both degrade). After forecasting, analyze drivers: critical-path slippage, resource bottlenecks, or quality issues. Consider corrective actions (fast tracking, targeted crashing with business cases, process improvements) and update the risk register. Communicate implications to stakeholders via performance reports and, if needed, submit change requests to rebaseline approved targets.
