Your project to obtain charitable donations is now 39 days into a planned 49-day project. The project is divided into 3 activities. The first activity is designed to solicit individual donations. It is scheduled to run the first 33 days of the project and to bring in $25,400. Even though we are 39 days into the project, we still see that we have only 91% of this activity complete. The second activity relates to company donations and is scheduled to run for 39 days starting on day 6 and extending through day 45. We estimate that, even though we should have (33/39) 84.62% of this activity complete, it is actually only 51% complete. This part of the project was scheduled to bring in $150,400 in donations. The final activity is for matching funds. This activity is scheduled to run the last 10 days of the project and has not started. It is scheduled to bring in an additional $50,800. So far $176,000 has actually been brought in on the project. Calculate the schedule variance, schedule performance index, cost variance and cost (actually value in this case) performance index.
