3) After printing out the Earned Value report, define (you may use MS Project help) the following terms and write in the Total Values of each from your Earned Value Report (Make sure your current date is properly set to 11/14/2011).
PV: this is the amount of budget planned to be spent during a given period of time = $22,919.23
EV: this is a value indicating how much of a budgeted cost should have been spent given the amount of work actually completed = $7,120.19
AC: this is the amount of money actually spent on the completed work = $6,783.85
SV: this variance is used to calculate how much a project is over or under budget = -$15,799.04
CV: this variance is used to determine if a project is ahead or behind schedule = $336.35
EAC: the expected total cost required to finish complete work = $34,489.68
