Project Cost Efficiency = Est. Cost to Date / Actual Costs = 90,000 / 91,500 = 0.984
Project PCT by Cost = Actual Cost / EAC = 91,500 / 190,500 = 48%

Cost Control – Variance Analysis
• CV% = CV/EV x 100
• The Estimate to Complete (ETC) can be calculated from
the following formulas:
- Past performance to continue: ETC AC 1 - 1
PCT
- Planned performance to continue: ETC EV 1 - 1
PCT
- Other performance to continue: ETC using cost
estimating
• The Estimate at Completion (EAC) can be calculated
as: EAC AC ETC
