In earned value analysis, this is the budgeted cost of tasks that have been completed (or the portion completed of each) by the status date. BCWP is also called Earned Value (EV) because it represents the value earned in the project by the status date.

burdened labor rate

A resource cost rate that reflects not only the resource’s direct payroll cost, but also some portion of the organization’s costs that are not directly related to the resource’s assignments on a project. Note that Project doesn’t support a burdened labor rate directly; if you want to use one, simply enter it as a resource’s standard or overtime cost rate.
