TheoryPractice · Accepted Answer

Update the scope and schedule baselines to reflect the approved change before implementing it. Answer: Update the scope and schedule baselines to reflect the approved change before implementing it. The correct approach is to update the baselines before implementing any changes. This practice ensures that the campaign is tracked against the new scope and schedule, not former benchmarks. Assessing the impact of the change before implementation has already been completed. Implementing the change prior to baseline updates risks tracking with incorrect data. Updating the campaign strategy document is unnecessary without broader strategic shifts.

Question 6

A non-profit organization is managing an international conference project. The total budget authorized for this project is $300,000 and the project duration is 100 days. Work progress is distributed evenly over the schedule timeline. By day 25, the actual work completed is 15%. What is the Actual Cost (AC) incurred by day 25?

TheoryPractice · Accepted Answer

$45,000. The Actual Cost (AC) is calculated as the cost spent to complete work during a specific period. By day 25, they have completed 15% of the work as planned. Since the budget is evenly distributed, the AC is calculated as: $$300,000 	imes 0.15 = 45,000$$. Therefore, the AC on day 25 is $45,000.

Question 7

Question 8

As part of a construction project, the project manager analyzes various factors affecting operational costs. The manager calculates the Final Cost Impact (FCI) using the following data.

Analysis Factor Estimated Operational Cost (EOC) Actual Operational Cost (AOC) Material Cost Escalation $$105,000$$ $$112,000$$ Labor Cost Variability $$90,000$$ $$95,700$$

TheoryPractice · Accepted Answer

The project is currently expected to be over budget when completed. The Final Cost Impact (FCI) is calculated as FCI = EOC - AOC: $$FCI = 105,000 - 112,000 + 90,000 - 95,700 = -12,700$$ The negative FCI indicates that the project is currently expected to be over budget when completed.
