Point of Time 2 months 4 months 6 months 8 months 10 months

BAC 100,000 100,000 100,000 120,000 135,000

EAC 60,000 120,000 150,000 150,000 140,000

EAC = BAC / cumulative CPI

at 2 months, CCPI = 100000/60000 =1.66

at 4 months CCPI = 100000/120000 =0.833

at 6 months, CCPI = 100000/150000 =0.6666

at 8 months CCPI = 120000/150000 =0.8

at 10 months CCPI = 135000/140000 =0.9642

The chart shows the variation in cost efficiency of the project across different periods. During first 2 months, the actual project cost was much less than planned cost at that time, which has led to CCPI of 1.66, which can be seen as a a good performance. However, during next 4 months, the cost kept on rising, while the budget allocation was 100000 for first 6 months, which led to a cumulative CPI fo 0.666 at the end of month 6. This happened because a lumpsum budget of 100000 was granted for first 6 months, and the actual cost was more than budget at the end of month 6. During the next 4 months, the cost effectiveness again picked up and the project team was able to bring the cost just above the BAC value at the end ( a variance of -5000, and a CCPI of 0.9642)
