Ah, the joys of project management! This question reminds me of the time I had to calculate the SPI for a project that was running behind schedule because the team kept getting distracted by office ping-pong tournaments. Gotta love it! Anyway, I think B) 0.75 is the correct answer, but I might be a little biased since I'm the office ping-pong champion.

I'm scratching my head on this one. The question says the project is running late by 10%, but it doesn't give us the original planned schedule. How are we supposed to calculate the SPI without that information? I'm going to go with B) 0.75, but I'm not totally confident about it.

Okay, let's think this through step-by-step. The project is 30% complete, and the BAC is $567,899. So the planned value (PV) should be 30% of $567,899, which is $170,369.70. The actual cost (AC) is $179,450. Plugging these values into the SPI formula, we get 0.75. Looks like B) is the right answer.

This question is testing our knowledge of the Schedule Performance Index (SPI), which is a crucial metric for project managers. I think the correct answer is B) 0.75, as this aligns with the project being 30% complete and having spent $179,450 out of a total BAC of $567,899.
