Explanation: In the question, you have not been provided with the budget,
therefore, let us assume that the project budget is "x".
Earned Value = 40% of the budget = 0.4x
Actual Cost = 60% of the budget = 0.6x
We know that the cost performance index = (Earned Value) / (Actual Cost) = 0.4x
/ 0.6x = 0.67
