PK0-005 Tools and Documentation Practice Question
A project manager is reviewing earned value data: PV = $150,000, EV = $120,000, AC = $130,000. Which THREE statements are correct?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
The schedule performance index (SPI) is 0.8.
SV = EV - PV = 120,000 - 150,000 = -30,000 (negative, behind schedule). CV = EV - AC = 120,000 - 130,000 = -10,000 (negative, over budget). SPI = EV/PV = 0.8 (less than 1, behind schedule). CPI = EV/AC = 0.923 (less than 1, over budget).
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
The schedule performance index (SPI) is 0.8.
Why this is correct
SPI = EV/PV = 120000/150000 = 0.8.
- ✗
The cost performance index (CPI) is 1.08.
Why it's wrong here
CPI = EV/AC = 120000/130000 ≈ 0.923, not 1.08.
- ✓
The project is behind schedule.
Why this is correct
SV is negative, indicating behind schedule.
- ✗
The project is under budget.
Why it's wrong here
CV is negative, indicating over budget.
- ✓
The cost variance (CV) is -$10,000.
Why this is correct
CV = EV - AC = -$10,000.
