Alright, let's do this! Budgeted Cost of Work Performed = 45% of $805,000 = $362,250. Actual Cost of Work Performed = $430,000. CPI = $362,250 / $430,000 = 0.84.

CPI = Budgeted Cost of Work Performed / Actual Cost of Work Performed. So we need to calculate those values first.

Hold on, how did you arrive at that? I'm still trying to wrap my head around the formula for CPI.

I'm leaning towards option C, 0.86. That seems to make the most sense based on the information provided.

Okay, let's think this through step-by-step. We've got the budget, the percentage of work completed, and the actual amount spent. Shouldn't be too hard to figure out the cost performance index.
