Estimate at completion (EAC) is a periodic evaluation of A. The cost of work completed B. The value of work performed C. The anticipated total cost at project completion D. What it will cost to finish the job

You have been asked to select between three projects. Project A has a net present value of $54,750 and will take six months to complete. Project B has a net present value of $85,100 and will take two years to complete. Project C has a net present value or $15,000 and a benefit-cost ratio of 52. Which project should you choose? A. Project A B. Project B C. Project C D. There is not enough information to decide.
