Type Carpet Vinyl tile Ceramic tile 2.30 2.95 4.95 Carpet is usually sold and installed by the square yard. We used square foot (SF) here for conformity with the other flooring types. Total Price ($) 5,980 3,540 16,484 26,004 The subcontractor is given 10 days to finish all the work. Assume he has crews to start all three jobs concurrently. Four days after the start of the work, he discovers the following: Quantity Installed (SF) 1,500 800 750 Actual Cost ($) 3,150 2,488 3,638 Perform an EV analysis of the preceding task: a. Analyze each subtask (carpet, vinyl tile, ceramic tile) individually; determine its status with regard to the budget and the schedule. b. Analyze the entire flooring activity as one unit; determine its status with regard to the budget and the schedule. c.
