LF = LS of the Successor

Free Float = ES(Successor) EF(Predecessor)

ARR = Cash Flow / No. of Years

ROI = (ARR / Investment) * 100 %

Earned Value Management

PV (Present Value) = BCWS (Budgeted Cost of Work Scheduled)
EV (Earned Value) = BCWP (Budgeted Cost of Work Performed)
AC (Actual Cost) = ACWP (Actual Cost of Work Performed)
CV = EV AC
CPI = EV / AC (efficiency)
SV = EV PV
SPI = EV / PV
TCPI using BAC = (BAC-EV) / (BAC-AC)
TCPI using EAC = (BAC-EV) / (EAC-AC)
% COMPLETE = EV / BAC x 100
% SPENT
= AC / BAC x 100

ETC = EAC AC or
(BAC EV) / CPI
EAC = AC + ETC
EAC = BAC / CPI
EAC = AC + BAC EV
EAC = AC+ {(BAC-EV) / (cumulative CPI x
cumulative SPI)}
VAC = BAC EAC
CV% = AC / EV x 100
SV% = AC / PV x 100
