Question) On June 12, 2002, Delta Corporation was awarded a $160,000 contract for testing a

product. The contract consisted of $143,000 for labor and materials, and the remaining $17,000 was
profit. The contract had a scheduled start date of July 3. The network logic, as defined by the project
manager and approved by the customer, consisted of the following:
Activity Time (Weeks)
AB 7
AC 10
AD 8
BC 4
BE 2
CF 3
DF 5
EF 2
FG 1
On August 27, 2002, the executive steering committee received the following report indicating the status of
the project at the end of the eighth week:
Activity % Complete Actual Cost Time Remaining
(Weeks)
AB 100 $23,500 0
AC 60 19,200 4
AD 87.5 37,500 1
BC 50 8,000 2
BE 50 5,500 1

The steering committee could not identify the real status of the project from this brief report. Even after
comparing this brief status report with the project planning budget (see Table 1), the real status was not
readily apparent. Management instructed the project manager to prepare a better status report that depicted
the true status of the project, as well as the amount of profit that could be expected at project completion.
Your assignment is to prepare a table such as Table 2.
