Cost Variance (CV) is a very important factor to measure project performance. CV indicates how much over - or under-budget the project is. CV can be calculated using the following formula: Cost Variance (CV) = Earned Value (EV) − Actual Cost(AC) OR Cost Variance (CV) = it is the difference between budgeted cost of work performed, or BCWP, and the actual cost of work performed, or ACWP (BCWP – ACWP)

Negative variance, meaning losses and shortfalls. A positive schedule variance means the project is ahead of schedule, while a negative schedule variance means that a project is behind schedule

So Answer “ E” is correct.
