Test - CLM 016 Cost Estimating Exam Given a scenario with an overhead rate, calculate the total overhead costs for a project or portion of a project. Question 1 of 17. The Ft Meyer facilities maintenance contract has an estimated 19,500 hours of direct engineering labor to complete the work. The rate for engineering is $115 per hour. The overhead rate for engineering is 125%. Which formula(s) should be used to determine the total engineering cost? (Select all that apply.) Total Direct Labor Cost + Overhead Cost = Total Engineering Cost Total Direct Labor Cost x Overhead Rate = Engineering Overhead Rate . Total Direct Labor Cost/Overhead Rate x Labor Rate = Total Engineering Cost b Labor Hours x Labor Rate = Total Direct Engineering Labor Cost . Mark for follow up Question 2 of 17. Identify expenses that would be categorized as Other Direct Costs. (Select all that apply.) 0 Packaging and packing U Manufacturing supplies Posters and banners ' Design engineering ) Mark for follow up Question 3 of 17. Which of the following factors affect direct material costs? (Select all that apply.) . Efficiency © Utilization Rate O Escalation . Spoilage ") Mark for follow up
Question 4 of 17. A weighted index takes into account the historical outlay patterns of the appropriations and inflation rates associated with the fiscal years (FYs) when cash flows out of the U.S. Treasury (outlay). True False Question 5 of 17. Then-year (TY) dollars is a method of relating dollars across the years of a program'’s life cycle by removing the effects of inflation and showing all dollars at the value they would have been in a selected fiscal year (FY), hereas base year (BY) dollars are the dollar figures in the budget actually associated with the stated date (past, present, or projected). 6e False Question 6 of 17. The All Aerospace Company has been asked to provide a Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) cost estimate for a new training aircraft, so they use the Expert Opinion method to derive the ROM. Two years later, the customer releases a Request for Proposal (RFP) for a new training aircraft. The All Aerospace Company decides to bid on the effort they have 30 days to respond to the RFP. Which cost estimating technique should they used? ./ Expert Opinion . Comparison Detailed . Parametric ¥ Mark for follow up Question 7 of 17. che escalation is factored into cost estimates, the resulting then-year (TY) dollars are used as inputs for which of the following? (Select all that apply.) U Budget Estimate Submission (BES) - Independent Government Cost Estimate (IGCE) Program Objectives Memorandum (POM) . The President?s Budget (PB) ¥ Mark for follow up
Question 8 of 17. Which of the following are Life Cycle Cost (LCC) Components? (Select all that apply.) Program Acquisition Cost Operations and Support (O&S) Cost Weapon/System Cost Procurement Cost ¥ Mark for follow up Question 9 of 17. At near year-end, a program manager (PM) is given an additional $5M in funding to add a feature to an existing program; he will need to make a quick decision as to which feature to add. In this case, it would be useful for the PM to ask his contractor for a Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) estimate. ae False Question 10 of 17. The XYZ Group has submitted their estimates for the Smoke Bomb Hill restoration project. They estimate total direct and overhead costs at $288,000. The contractor General and Administrative (G&A) rate is 12%. What is the Total G&A Cost? $322,561 . $3,456 $291,456 . $34,560 ¥ Mark for follow up Question 11 of 17. Which of the following statements accurately describe the raw index, which is used with escalation to calculate cost estimates? (Select all that apply.) © The raw index is used to convert an estimate done in constant dollars from one BY to another BY. @ The raw index relates the price level for each fiscal year (FY) to a base year (BY). QO The raw index allows the comparison of costs over several years so that cost growths and other impacts (e.g., learning curves) can be observed. ) The raw index will always show .5 or 50% for the BY. .

Question 12 of 17. How is the Expert Opinion cost estimating method used? . By reflecting a detailed build-up of labor, material, and overhead costs . By extrapolating a trend from the current contract in order to estimate the final system cost O By gathering and synthesizing the opinions of specialists in the field . By comparing a new or proposed system with a similar system acquired in the recent past, and for which there is accurate cost and technical data ¥ Mark for follow up Question 13 of 17.

Question 15 of 17. Which of the following statements regarding the linkage between cost estimates and the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is true? (Select all that apply.) . The WBS is a key project deliverable that allows the program manager (PM) to organize the team's work into manageable sections. ) The WBS identifies the bounds of how much program costs can expect to vary. The WBS provides the necessary framework for detailed cost estimating and control. " The WBS assists with accurate cost estimating: costs are estimated for each WBS element and then multiplied for the total estimate. - Mark for follow up Question 16 of 17. Based on the Learning Curve Theory, in which of the following conditions can you expect a decline of unit cost with increased production quantities? (Select all that apply.)
