Question 4
Table 1 shows the estimated cash flow for the project. Calculate the simple payback period (to the nearest month) and the net present value (using a discount rate of 8%) for the project

Question 5
Table 2 shows the estimated number of programmers needed for the project. Create a resource loading chart for the project. In what months the largest number of programmers is required? In what months the smallest number of programmers is required?

Question 6
Table 3 shows the project costs (in thousand dollars) and other details for the project.
Required:
(i) Given the current status of the project, calculate the earned value of the project.

(ii) Calculate the schedule performance index (SPI) of the project and explain what it tells about the current status of the project.

(iii) Calculate the cost performance index (CPI) of the project and explain what it tells about the current status of the project.

(iv) Calculate the estimated time to completion and explain what it tells about the current status of the project.

(v) Calculate the estimated cost to completion and explain what it tells about the current status of the project.

Question 7
