E) None of the above

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

SPI (Schedule Performance Index) = EV/PV = 0.5, which means EV = 0.5 * PV. CPI (Cost Performance Index) = EV/AC = 2.0, meaning EV = 2 * AC. Only option A satisfies both conditions: EV = $30,000, PV = $60,000 (EV is half of PV), and AC = $15,000 (EV is twice AC).
