I'm just going to guess C) on schedule. It's the only one that doesn't sound like a complete disaster, and hey, maybe I'll get lucky!

This one's tricky. If we're over budget but ahead of schedule, does that mean we're just really efficient at spending money? I'll go with B) and hope for the best.

Wait, if we're over budget and ahead of schedule, how can that be? Isn't that kind of like having your cake and eating it too? I'm gonna go with B) just to be safe.

I think it means we're spending more money than planned, but we're getting the work done faster than expected.

I agree with Glenn, option A is the most logical choice based on the given scenario.

I think option A makes sense because negative cost variance means spending less than planned, but positive schedule variance means completing work faster than planned.

Hmm, if the cost variance is negative, that means we're over budget, but the schedule variance is positive, so we must be ahead of schedule. B) seems like the correct choice here.
