How do we know which EAC formula to use in which scenario?

You are assigned as the project manager to a project which had a one-time cost variance in the past caused by unexpected rework which has meanwhile been finished. You expect future costs of the project as was originally planned

You perform earned value analysis and get the following results:
EV: 250,000; PV: 200,000; AC 275,000

BAC is 500,000.

What is right?
EAC = 550,000
EAC = 525,000
EAC = 500,000
EAC = 425,000
