ITPEC FE Subject A April 2025 Question 41
ITPEC FE Subject A April 2025 — Question 41 of 60
Earned Value (EV) is the value of work actually completed, measured in terms of the authorized budget assigned to that work.
Three core EVM metrics:
- PV (Planned Value) — budgeted cost of work scheduled
- EV (Earned Value) — budgeted cost of work performed
- AC (Actual Cost) — actual cost of work performed
Key formulas: CPI = EV / AC, SPI = EV / PV.
Why not others:
- (b) — describes the Budget at Completion (BAC) or cost baseline, not EV
- (c) — describes Planned Value (PV) — the authorized budget for scheduled work
- (d) — describes Actual Cost (AC) — the real money spent on performed work
Key rule: EV answers "how much planned budget has been earned by the work actually done."
