Electrical Engineering Question
An engineering firm realizes that a new machine will be needed in seven years. The new machine is expected to cost $2,589,000, at current cost, however, the machine is very popular, and supply has been limited, therefore, the price escalates by 5% each year. The firm expects interest rates to be 2.5% for the next seven years with no variation anticipated. The Chief Engineer would like to know how much money the firm would have to accumulate at the end of each year over the next seven years to be able to pay cash for the machine.

- You are the project manager for a very important e-learning project that will add 25 identical web portals for the separate divisions of a large, international company. Although some differences in the web portals exist, for planning and execution purposes, the portals are considered to be identical. The plan requires the entire team working on and completing a web portal before beginning the next web portal. Your team has completed the planning process and is in the middle of executing the project. Web portal priorities have been established and agreed to by all stakeholders. Therefore, the most time critical web portals are started and completed first. Your budget baseline allows $255,000 to complete each web portal. You are conducting a team progress review at the end of the 15th week of the project. You find out that the Earned Value is$1,020,000 and the Actual Cost is $1,189,000.
