What is the cost variance‚ schedule variance‚ cost performance index (CPI)‚ and schedule performance index (SPI) for the project? Cost Variance = EV-AC = $20‚000 - $25‚000 = -$5‚000 Schedule Variance = EV-PV = $20‚000 - $25‚000 = -$3‚000 CPI = EV/AC = $20‚000/$25‚000 = 80% SPI = EV/PV = $20‚000/$25‚000 = 87% b. How is the project doing? Is it ahead of schedule or behind schedule? Is it under budget or over budget? Project is over budget‚ behind schedule c. Use the CPI to calculate
