When you are doing EAC and ETC you are forecasting.

ETC is how much money you need to spend on the project to complete the project from this point onward

EAC is how much money ,can you forecast that you will end up spending when you finish your project. This will tell you if you are going to exceed the Budgeted cost (Budget at completion or BAC) or stay under it .

The different formulas of EAC have different connotations.

Deepesh explanation was clear.

in short
EAC is estimate of completed project
ETC is estimate to reach the end of the project
