CompTIA Project+ (PK0-004) — Question 104

Which of the following measurements would give the project manager the BEST estimate of the total cost of an active project?

Answer options

• A. EAC
• B. BAC
• C. TCPI
• D. ETC

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The Estimate at Completion (EAC) provides the best forecast of the total cost of a project based on current performance and future expectations. The Budget at Completion (BAC) is the total planned budget but does not account for current project performance. The To-Complete Performance Index (TCPI) and Estimate to Complete (ETC) are useful metrics but do not provide a complete estimate of the total project cost.
