Project cost analysis
Accumulative estimated and actual cost
The first graph is a line graph comparing accumulative costs for estimated and actual
costs. Both costs start in March at $50,000 and rise steadily to reach $200,000 for
the estimated cost and $225,000 for actual cost in mid June. From here the slope of
the line decreases and rises more slowly for the next month with estimated cost
reaching 225,000 and actual cost reaching 250,000 by mid July. The cost lines then
both increase to a slope similar to the first section of the graph and rise steadily until
mid September, with estimated cost reaching just over the $300,000 mark and actual
cost reaching $350,000.
The second graph is a bar graph displaying the same information. Two vertical bars
per month compare the accumulative estimated cost with the actual cost.
