1) Using the 50-50 Rule, what is earned value for this project?
2) Using the 0-100 Rule, what is earned value for this project?
3) Note the discrepancy of earned value figures when using the 50-50 Rule and 0-100 Rule. Why is there a discrepancy? Which Rule should we use? Explain your rationale.
4) Using the 50-50 Rule earned value computation, what is schedule variance for the project as reported?
5) What is the schedule performance index (SPI)?
6) Using the 50-50 Rule earned value computation, what is the cost variance for the project as reported?
7) What is the cost performance index (CPI)?
8) If the total budget for this project is 50,000, use CPI to compute estimate at complete (EAC).
9) Using the earned value information garnered from the above table, provide your boss a brief status report on project progress to date. Also, provide projections for future status.

Which transformer is better
: Two transformers, A and B, are both suitable. While both transformers have the same efficiency at peak load, most of the loss in A is due to core loss, and most of the loss in B is due to the resistances of the coils. From the standpoint of operat..

Issue to fund the capital investment under consideration
: Suppose your company needs to raise $10 million to construct a new office building at an expanded manufacturing site. As CFO, you plan to raise the money by selling 30-year $1,000 par value bonds with a coupon rate of 6% which is the Yield in Maturit..

Determine the rms values of the currents and voltages
: Consider the circuit shown in Figure which has Rs = 0.5Ω, RL = 1000Ω, and N1/N2 = 0.1. Determine the rms values of the currents and voltages with the switch open.

How is the core material selected to minimize the power loss
: Suppose we have an ac current flowing through a coil wound on an iron core. Name two mechanisms by which energy is converted to heat in the core material. For each, how is the core material selected to minimize the power loss? How does each power ..

Investors expect the market rate of return
: Investors expect the market rate of return this year to be 15.00%. The expected rate of return on a stock with a beta of 1.3 is currently 19.50%. If the market return this year turns out to be 12.80%, how would you revise your expectation of the rate..
