    PMP · Question 88 · Task 5: Plan and manage budget and resources

    A project has the following earned value metrics at the end of Month 10:<br/>- Budget at Completion (BAC): $1,200,000<br/>- Planned Value (PV): $800,000<br/>- Earned Value (EV): $700,000<br/>- Actual Cost (AC): $750,000<br/><br/>What is the Cost Performance Index (CPI)? (Round to two decimal places, enter numbers only)

    How to approach this question

    Calculate CPI using the formula: CPI = EV / AC. Round to two decimal places and enter numbers only.

    Full Answer

    0.93
    CPI = EV / AC = 700,000 / 750,000 = 0.93. A CPI less than 1.0 indicates the project is over budget.

    Common mistakes

    Students often confuse CPI with SPI (EV/PV) or calculate incorrectly by using PV instead of AC in the denominator.
