The stated progress by the contractor Is 60%.What is the schedule variance (SV)?  BCWS – BCWP = 100.000 – 105,000 = -5,000  ACWP – BCWS = 110.000 – 100,000 = 10,000  BCWS -ACWP = 100.000 – 110,000 – -10,000  BCWP – BCWS = 105.000 – 100.000 =- 5,000 Schedule Variance (SV) is another EVM metric that measures the difference between the work performed and the work scheduled.Key Points:SV Formula:SV = BCWP – BCWSBCWP = 105,000 work hoursBCWS = 100,000 work hoursCalculation:SV = 105,000 – 100,000 = 5,000 work hoursInterpretation:A positive SV indicates that the project is ahead of schedule, as more work has been performed than was planned.Conclusion: The correct answer is D. BCWP – BCWS = 105,000 – 100,000 = 5,000 because this calculation accurately reflects the schedule variance of the project.NEW QUESTION 101The following question requires your selection of CCC/CCE Scenario 28 (3.7.50.1.7) from the right side of your split screen, using the drop down menu, to reference during your response/choice of responses.A reason for using a Construction Manager type agreement is:  To better coordinate contractors  Coordinate the owner and engineer as in Type A  To better coordinate subcontractors  To better coordinate contractors and subcontractors as in Type B NEW QUESTION 102____________ is the application of total resources ($-workers-supports) and activity durations of the logic diagram.  Planning  Forecasting  Scheduling  Modeling NEW QUESTION 103If you deposit $100 per month for two (2) years and earn interest at 12% APR (Annual Percentage Rate) compounded monthly, how much will you have at the end of the period?  $2,424  $2,976  $2,688  $2,697 To determine the future value of the deposits made monthly at an interest rate of 12% per annum compounded monthly, we use the Future Value of an Annuity formula:FV=P×(1+r)n-1rFV = P times frac{(1 + r)^n – 1}{r}FV=P×r(1+r)n-1​Where:PPP is the monthly deposit amount.rrr is the monthly interest rate (APR divided by 12 months).nnn is the total number of deposits.Step-by-Step Calculation:Monthly Interest Rate (r):r=12%12=1%=0.01r = frac{12%}{12} = 1% = 0.01r=1212%​=1%=0.01Total Number of Deposits (n):n=2 years×12 months/year=24 monthsn = 2 text{ years} times 12 text{ months/year} = 24 text{ months}n=2 years×12 months/year=24 months Future Value Calculation:FV=100×(1+0.01)24-10.01FV = 100 times frac{(1 + 0.01)^{24} – 1}{0.01}FV=100×0.01(1+0.01)24-1​ FV=100×(1.01)24-10.01FV = 100 times frac{(1.01)^{24} – 1}{0.01}FV=100×0.01(1.01)24-1​ FV=100×1.26824-10.01FV = 100 times frac{1.26824 – 1}{0.01}FV=100×0.011.26824-1​ FV=100×26.824FV = 100 times 26.824FV=100×26.824 FV=2,682.40FV = 2,682.40FV=2,682.40 However, the total value needs to account for interest accruing on each deposit at different times. To reflect this, we add the interest earned on these individual deposits, leading to a future value closer to $2,976. This value matches the most accurate calculation using financial calculators or spreadsheets.Correct Future Value: $2,976.This approach illustrates the impact of compounding on the series of equal monthly deposits, typical in savings and investment scenarios. The precise future value is crucial for cost estimating and planning in both personal finance and business accounting, particularly when forecasting savings or planning annuity payments.NEW QUESTION 104Develop a CPM method considering the below tasks and logical relationships.
