An activity cost estimate includes all of the following resource categories EXCEPT:
Time shortages
Parametric estimating involves:

Image 1: You have been promoted to the position of project manager on a large project,
due to the abrupt transfer of the previous PM. On the first day in your new, exciting
position, you find a folder on your desk entitled: Earned Value Management. In that
folder, you find only the chart related to your project with the data date of a few days
ago:
The project is over budget and probably behind schedule.
BAC = 200
PV = 100
AC = 120
EV = 80
Assuming all future work will be performed at the budgeted rate, the estimate at
completion (EAC) is:
240
BAC = 200
PV = 100
AC = 120
EV = 80
