Actual Cost (AC).

Source: R/evm.R
ac.Rd

Calculates the Actual Cost (AC) of work completed based on the actual costs incurred at each time period.

Usage

ac(actual_costs, time_period, cumulative = TRUE)

Arguments

actual_costs

Vector of actual costs incurred at each time period. Can be either period costs (cost per period) or cumulative costs depending on the cumulative parameter.

time_period

Current time period.

cumulative

Logical. If TRUE (default), actual_costs are already cumulative and the value at time_period is returned directly. If FALSE, actual_costs are period costs and will be summed up to time_period.

Value

The function returns the Actual Cost (AC) of work completed to date.

Examples

# Using cumulative costs (default)
cumulative_costs <- c(9000, 27000, 63000, 133000, 233000)
time_period <- 3
ac <- ac(cumulative_costs, time_period)
cat("Actual Cost (AC):", ac, "\n")
#> Actual Cost (AC): 63000 

# Using period costs
period_costs <- c(9000, 18000, 36000, 70000, 100000)
ac <- ac(period_costs, time_period, cumulative = FALSE)
cat("Actual Cost (AC):", ac, "\n")
#> Actual Cost (AC): 63000
