Figure 5: Earned value costing
The total budget of the project is 18000.
The actual amount of the project is 11265.
The remaining budget of the project is 6735.
The percentage of the cost remaining is 37.41 %.
𝑾 = 𝟒𝟒𝟏𝟐𝟓 (𝑿 + 𝒀) + 𝟏𝟒𝟓𝟎𝟎 Is the equation of the total budget.
As per the condition, there are need one drilling machine and one injection machine is under process.
As per the values the value of X= 3 and value of Y= 9.
Final value of W = 𝟒𝟒𝟏𝟐𝟓 (2 + 3) + 𝟏𝟒𝟓𝟎𝟎
W = 235125.
