To find out if a project is ahead or behind schedule, you subtract Planned Value (PV) from Earned Value (EV): EV - PV. A positive result indicates the project is ahead of schedule, while a negative result means it's behind. The other options are incorrect because reversing the subtraction (PV - EV) would invert the results, dividing EV by PV gives the schedule performance index, and subtracting Actual Cost (AC) from EV relates to cost variance, not schedule status.
