On day 51 a project has an earned value of $600, an actual cost of $650, and a planned cost of $560. Compute the SV, CV, and CPI for the project. What is your assessment of the project on day 51

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. Schedule variance (SV)

= Earned value - planned cost

= $600 - $560

= $40

b. Cost variance (CV)

= Earned value - actual cost

= $600 - $650

= -$50

c. Consumer price index (CPI)

= Earned value ÷ actual cost

= $600 ÷ 650

= 0.92

As we can see from the above calculation, the project showed negative CV i.e overbudgeted but at the same time, it also showed Positive SV i.e the project is on schedule.

And, the CPI determines that the completing cost is more than the planned cost that reflects the bad condition
