    PMP · Question 107 · Task 5: Plan and manage budget and resources

    A project manager is leading a project to build a new bridge. The project is using a predictive lifecycle. The PM wants to ensure that the project is on budget. The PM calculates the Estimate at Completion (EAC). The EAC is $1.2M. The BAC is $1M. What does this mean?

    Answer options:

    A.

    The project will finish under budget.

    B.

    The project is projected to finish over budget by $200k.

    C.

    The project is ahead of schedule.

    D.

    The project is finished.

    How to approach this question

    EAC > BAC = Bad.

    Full Answer

    B
    Task 5 (Budget). EAC is the forecast. If it's higher than the budget (BAC), you have a variance at completion (VAC).
