Revenue = Cost / (1 – Expected Margin) Accounting Equation is: Owner’s Equity = Assets - Liabilities

Gross Profit = Revenue - Cost

(Gross) Margin = Gross Profit / Revenue Markup = Revenue / Cost

Net Income = Gross Profit - Expense Net Earning Before Tax (NEBT) = Revenue – Cost - Expense

Net Income = Revenue – Cost - Expense

Earned Value Formulas:

Actual Cost (AC)

What is the actual amount spent on the project to date ? AC = Actual Cost

Earned Value (EV)

What has been completed and what is the estimated

value of those items ? EV = Earned Value

Plan Value (PV)

What did we plan to spend ? PV = Baseline, Scheduled or Planned Costs

Budget at Completion (BAC)

What is the project’s budget ? BAC = Total Budget Cost

Cost Variance (CV)

How far off are we from our scheduled cost of things to be

completed from the actual amount spent ? CV = EV – AC

If CV < 0 Over budget -CV

= 0 On budget

> 0 Under/Within budget +CV

Cost Performance Index (CPI)

(a.k.a.) Burn Rate

What is the efficiency at which tasks are getting done from

a financial point of view ? CPI = EV / AC

Cumulative CPI is relative stable

after 15% - 20% of project

completion. If CPI < 1 Over budget -CPI

= 1 On budget

> 1 Under/Within budget +CPI

Schedule Variance (SV)

How far off are we from our schedule from a financial

point of view ? SV = EV – PV

If SV < 0 Behind schedule -SV

= 0 On schedule

> 0 Ahead of schedule +SV

Schedule Performance Index (SPI)

How well is the project performing in comparison to how

well it is expected to perform ? SPI = EV / PV

If SPI < 1 Behind schedule -SPI

= 1 On schedule

> 1 Ahead of schedule +SPI

Variance at Completion (VAC)

What is the VAC = BAC - EAC

Estimate at Completion (EAC)

How much will the project cost at completion ? EAC = BAC / CPI

EAC = AC + (Remaining PV) / CPI

EAC = AC + ETC

EAC = AC + Remaining PV Where Remaining PV = BAC – EV

Estimated to Completion (ETC)

What is the estimate of additional funds needed to

complete the project ? ETC = EAC – AC

Calculated Estimate at Completion (CEAC)

How much will the project cost at completion CEAC = BAC / CPI

Percent Complete (PC)

How much of the project has been completed ? PC = PV / BAC

Percent Schedule (PS)

How much of the budget at completion you have used to

date ? PS = AC / BAC

To-Complete Performance Index (TCPI)

How efficient must the team be to complete the remaining

work with the remaining money ? TCPI = (BAC – EV) / ( BAC – AC)

Budget Estimate Accuracy Range: Order of Magnitude (-25% to 75%), Budget: (-10% to 25%), Definitive: (-5% to 10%) Project Management Formulas

Profitability Measurement Formulas:

Benefit/Cost Ratio (BCR) BCR = PV(r) / PV(c)

Where PV(r) is Present Value of Revenue

PV(c) Is Present Value of Cost If BCR < 1 Project cost > benefits

= 1 Project cost = benefits

> 1 Project cost < benefits

Return of Sales (ROS) ROS = NEBT / Total Sales (Gross Profit)

ROS = NEAT / Total Sales (Net Profit)

Return on Assets (ROA) ROA = NEBT / Assets

Return on Investment (ROI) ROI = NEAT / Total Investment Cost

Present Value (PV) tr)(1MPV Where M = Amount of payment t years from now

r = Interest rate (or discount rate)

Future Value (FV) FV = PV *(1+r) t Where r Interest rate

t No. of periods over which interest in compounded

Net Present Value (NPV) NPV = Sum of Current Value of Future Cash Flow – Original Investment

If NPV of an investment is <= 0, there is no real profit coming out of the investment

> 0, it means that the rate of return from the project

more than offset reduction in the value of money

over a period of time.

Payback Period (PbP) Payback Period is no. of time periods up to the point where cumulative revenues exceed

cumulative cost.

PbP = Net Investment / Average Annual Cash Flow

Internal Rate of Return IRR IRR is a quantitative measure of a project’s expected profitability. The average rate of return

for the project, measured as a percentage return. IRR =

Expected Monetary Value EMV = Outcome * Probability

Working Capital (WC) WC = Current Assets – Current Liabilities

Communication

Communication Channels – Geometric Series Communication Channel = (N*(N-1))/2 where N is no. of people

Non-Verbal Communication Total Message Impact = Words (7%) + Vocal tones (35%) + Non-verbal (55%)

Communication Macro Barrier Entrophy: 23% - 27% of message is lost in upward communication:

PM Time Spend 70% - 90% of Project Manager spent time on communication

Of time spent: 45% is spent on listening
