Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

The problem provides key metrics used in Earned Value Management (EVM):

Earned Value (EV): $1,500,000

Actual Cost (AC): $1,000,000

Planned Value (PV): $2,000,000

Key Points:

Schedule Performance Index (SPI):

SPI = EV / PV = $1,500,000 / $2,000,000 = 0.75

An SPI less than 1 indicates the project is behind schedule.

Cost Performance Index (CPI):

CPI = EV / AC = $1,500,000 / $1,000,000 = 1.5

A CPI greater than 1 indicates the project is under budget.

Conclusion: The correct answer is C. Project is behind schedule, but under budget because the SPI indicates a delay in schedule, and the CPI shows that the project is currently spending less than planned.

I believe the correct answer is B) No, it should be 50.0% because the earned work hours are higher than the scheduled work hours.
