To calculate the cost variance:
CV=EV−AC
Where:
Cost variance is defined as the difference between the earned value and the actual cost of a good. It helps in determining whether the project is under or over budget.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
CV=5000−4500=500
The Cost Variance is $500.00.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
CV=7000−7500=−500
The Cost Variance is -$500.00.
