Right! EV is 50% of $950,000, which is $475,000.

45% complete but should be 50%? That's not great.

I’m leaning towards option B, but I’m not confident. I think I need to double-check my calculations for the CPI before I finalize my answer.

I feel like I’ve seen a similar question before, but I can’t recall if we should be concerned about the percentage completion when calculating CPI. Does it affect the earned value?

I think the earned value here would be 50% of the budget, which is $475,000, right? So, if we divide that by the actual cost, we should get the CPI.

I remember we practiced calculating the cost performance index, but I’m not entirely sure about the formula. Is it just earned value divided by actual cost?
