for activities. schedule % complete is calculated using the following formula:

Schedule % Complete(Act) = ( [Data Date] – [Baseline Start] ) / ( [Baseline Finish] – [Baseline Start] )

as you see the above formula is not related to the cost of the activity but
for wbs elements schedule % complete is calculated using the following formula

schedule % complete = pv/bac

as you see the above formula is related to the cost of the wbs element

so if the cost of a wbs element is 0 u get 0 for schedule % complete

if u want to have a good grasp of the issue read the following link:
