I'm going with B) AC-EV. It's the only one that makes sense to me, unless the project manager is trying to pull a fast one on us.

D) AC/EV? What kind of crazy formula is that? Cost variance is definitely calculated using the AC-EV equation, no doubt about it.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about this one. C) AC+EV doesn't sound right, but I can't decide between A and B. Guess I'll have to think it through a bit more.
