I’m almost certain it’s EV - AC for cost variance, but I should double-check my notes just to be safe.

I keep mixing up the formulas for cost variance and schedule variance. Is it possible that AC - EV is also used somewhere?

I think cost variance is calculated using EV minus AC, but I’m not completely sure if that’s the right order.

Okay, I remember learning this in class. The cost variance is calculated by subtracting the actual cost from the earned value, so the correct answer is A.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused on this one. I know it has something to do with earned value and actual cost, but I can't quite remember the exact formula. I'll have to think this through carefully.

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