Worked Example

Verified calculation

Given:

  • Budget at Completion = 100000
  • Earned Value = 40000
  • Cost Performance Index = 0.95
  • Actual Cost = 42105.26

Expected Result:

  • Forecast at Completion = 105263.15473684

Engineering Interpretation:

Under the given input conditions, the calculated result is: Forecast at Completion = 105263.15473684 USD.

The actual numerical result is computed by the Runtime engine using the persisted tool definition. The values shown here come from deterministically validated test cases.
