Your project is in trouble. A successful project needs sufficient income to cover direct and indirect costs as well as profit, i would hope that my projects earned value is greater than actual cost, if not i would need to have a strategy to recover losses eg variations etc. Measuring financial position is always problematic as resource costs are realised on different cycles, and as such there are difficult to asses because of the delays.

by Nagoor Khan , Transport Manager , worked with different Organizations mentioned in my Resume

The Actual Cost (AC) is a function of the time and it is a measurement of how much money has been spent on a project. It's measured in units of economic value ($). Mathematically, the domain of the Actual Cost (AC) is time and the range is an economic value ($). The Actual Cost (AC) is clearly associated with the Earned Value (EV) because the units of work that are measured by AC, are the same that EV has added as progress. In other words, when a unit of work has been done, EV adds the planned value of cost for that unit of work and AC adds the real cost for that unit of work.
