AACE International Exam CCP Topic 5 Question 7 Discussion

Actual exam question for AACE International's CCP exam
Question #: 7
Topic #: 5
[All CCP Questions]

You are reporting the following Earned Value Analysis information for the project:

EV= $1,500,000

AC=$1.000,000

PV= $2,000,000

What is the status of the project?

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.

Looks like the project manager is trying to pull a fast one on us. If the EV is less than the PV, that means we're behind schedule. And if the AC is higher than the EV, well, we're over budget. Option B all the way, my dude!

I'm feeling a bit like a budget detective here. Let's see, if the EV is less than the PV, we're behind schedule. And if the AC is higher than the EV, we're over budget. Definitely option B, no doubt about it!

Hold up, let me put on my project management glasses. Okay, got it! Since the EV is less than the PV, we're behind schedule. And the AC is higher than the EV, so we're over budget. B is the way to go.

Woah, this is a tricky one! If the project's EV is less than the PV, that means we're behind schedule. And if the AC is more than the EV, we're over budget. Gotta be option B, my friend.

Hmm, let's see. The project's EV is $1,500,000, AC is $1,000,000, and PV is $2,000,000. Looks like we're behind schedule, but over budget. I'd go with option B.
