A project has a budget at completion (BAC) of $500,000. At the current status date, the earned value (EV) is $180,000, the actual cost (AC) is $200,000, and the planned value (PV) is $150,000. What is the project's cost performance index (CPI)?

Question

Accepted Answer

0.90. CPI = EV / AC. Substituting: CPI = 180,000 / 200,000 = 0.90, indicating the project is over budget (getting $0.90 of value per dollar spent). Distractor 1.20 (EV/PV) is SPI, and 1.11 inverts the ratio incorrectly.
