Assume that you are the project manager for the construction of a 15-mile road. Further, assume that the work is uniformly distributed over 12 weeks. The total approved budget for the project is $600,000. At the end of the first three weeks of work, $160,000 has been spent, and five miles of road have been completed. What is the earned value of the project at the end of the first three weeks?

$200,000

Explanation:

This involves revenue recognition based on percentage of work completed (cost to completion technique). Revenue to be recognized per time is assessed based on the level of cost incurred compared with the total cost to be incurred.

Given that the total approved budget for the project is $600,000, If at the end of the first three weeks of work, $160,000 has been spent, and five miles of road have been completed for a  a 15-mile road, the earned value of the project at the end of the first three weeks

= 5/15 * $600,000

= $200,000
