Could you explain why in MsProject, EV is equal to AC and you can not modify the AC?

This helped out a lot thank you!

the way you clarified that the EV is the value earned in the project and cost we put to earn it is the actual cost... clarified it all.

thanks

if earned value is greater than planned value cost so in this case , is there a concern ?

Thank you for this thread! I was struggling with the same thought process and take the exam this afternoon. This really cleared up the confusion!

Khurram, I have an exercise which states: a very small project has total BAC (budget at completion) value of USD100,000 and duration estimate of 5 weeks. After 2nd week of completion in the project, the project is 38% complete. According to the schedule, the project should be 48% completed. Draw the S-Curve and show PV, EV, and AC. I do not have cost incurred to date.
Thanks,
Luis
