    • CV% = CV/EV x 100
    • The Estimate to Complete (ETC) can be calculated from
      the following formulas:
      - Past performance to continue: ETC  AC   1 - 1
                                                                                              PCT

          estimating
    • The Estimate at Completion (EAC) can be calculated
      as:        EAC  AC  ETC
