Explanation

The planned value is the percentage of where the project should be times the budget at completion. In this instance, it is 45 percent of the $950,000. Here, it can be calculated as follows: PV = 45% of BAC = 0.45 * 950,000 = 427,500 Planned value (PV) is the authorized budget assigned to the schedule work to be accomplished for a schedule activity or work breakdown structure component. It serves as a baseline against which actual performance is measured. The theory of planned value is of vital importance to the project management team and it is important to keep careful track of this. The term planned value can also be in some situations referred to by the project management team and the project management team leader as the budgeted cost of work scheduled (BCWS). Answer option A is incorrect. -$47,500 is the schedule variance (SV = EV-PV). Answer option B is incorrect. This is the schedule performance index (SPI = EV/PV). Answer option D is incorrect. This is the cost performance index (CPI = EV/AC).
