I thought CPI was supposed to be a whole number, not a decimal!

CPI is calculated as EV/AC, so it's 1.33!

I feel like I’ve seen this before, and I think the answer might be A, but I’m not completely confident.

I’m a bit confused about the numbers here. Is it possible that the CPI could be less than 1?

I remember practicing a similar question where we had to find CPI, and I think it was around 1.33.

I think the CPI is calculated by dividing EV by AC, but I'm not entirely sure if I remember the formula correctly.

Wait, what's the difference between PV, EV, and AC again? I'm drawing a blank on the definitions. I better review those concepts before trying to solve this.

This looks straightforward enough. The key is to remember the CPI formula and apply it correctly. I'm confident I can get the right answer.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused. I know CPI has something to do with cost and performance, but I'm not sure how to apply the formula here. I'll have to think this through carefully.

Okay, I think I know how to approach this. The formula for CPI is (PV + EV) / AC, so I'll just plug in the values and calculate.

Ah, the age-old question: what do you get when you divide $2000 by $1500? Clearly, the answer is B) 2.00. It's basic math, folks!

CPI? Is that some kind of new dance move? I'm just going to pick D) 0.5 and pray it's the right answer. Project management was never my strong suit.

Wait, wait, wait... what's the difference between PV and EV again? I always get those mixed up. I'll just guess and hope for the best - C) 0.75 sounds good.

Thanks for the explanation! I'll remember that for next time. Good to know I was close with my guess.

So, in this case, PV is $1000 and EV is $2000. To calculate CPI, you need to divide EV by AC. So, the correct answer is B) 2.00.

PV stands for Planned Value and EV stands for Earned Value. PV is the budgeted cost of the work scheduled to be done, while EV is the budgeted cost of the work actually performed.
