Suppose you are a senior project manager on an industrial project. So far, you have spent $26,410 to conduct the reconnaissance and survey of the site,
prepare preliminary plans and drawings, and run Monte Carlo simulations. You are preparing to meet with senior management and your sponsor, but you
discover that there are new industrial bylaws that will cause you to spend an additional estimated $15,000 to revise your plans and drawings. You contact the
senior management and the sponsor of the project and trigger a change request. The change is approved by CCB and you adjust the cost performance
baseline. What variable represents the $26,410 in an Earned Value calculation?
