I’m leaning towards C) -$284,100. The delays really impact the schedule variance.

SV is calculated as EV - PV, right?

I believe the earned value is the actual cost spent so far, but I’m not sure how to relate it to the completion percentage. This one seems tricky!

I practiced a similar question where we had to find the schedule variance, and I think I ended up using the formula SV = EV - PV. But I'm a bit confused about the numbers here.

If I recall correctly, the planned value should be based on the budget at completion and the percentage of completion. So, I guess we need to calculate that first?

I think I remember that schedule variance is calculated by subtracting the planned value from the earned value. But I'm not entirely sure how to find those values here.
