Back to Status page contains 10 Questions 1) As a general rule of thumb, __________ of the total ownership costs of a system occur late in the life cycle, due to costs associated with operations and support. [33a. Recognize the impact and interrelationship of logistics support and life cycle cost.] 70-80% 50-60% 90-95% 30-40% 2) The largest distribution of software cost will be __________ in the program's life cycle. [26b. Relate the typical distribution of software life cycle costs to the planning of an acquisition program.] Late Early 3) A software-costing model that bases cost estimates upon statistical data such as source lines of code is an example of a ________costing model. [28d. Select an appropriate approach (e.g., Analogy, Parametric, Top-Down, Engineering (Bottom Up, Actual, Delphi) to estimate the cost and schedule for a software-intensive system.] Parametric Top-down Bottom-up Delphi 4) Which of the following compares the relative cost and performance of various alternatives? [2a. Given an Initial Capabilities Document (ICD) and a summary Analysis of Alternatives, (AoA), select an appropriate concept, from the perspective of the system developer, to meet the user's requirement] Analysis of Alternatives Acquisition Decision Memorandum Test Requirements DAU Page 1 of 3 https://learn.dau.mil/Atlas2/html/testengine/TestGeneration/test_review.jsp 10/2/2014 Cost Analysis Requirements Description 5) What is a characteristic of a Joint Capabilities Technology Demonstration (JCTD)? [3c. Determine the applicability of science and technology activities to the acquisition of a system.] Demonstrates technology in a field environment Requires no user involvement until after successful completion of the demonstration Is funded by procurement money set aside specifically for JCTDs. Is based on a validated requirement which is documented in a Capability Development Document (CDD). 6) Total ownership cost, which includes the costs associated with research, development, test and evaluation, procurement, military construction, military personnel, operations and maintenance, and disposal of a system, is also known as: [9a. Given a cost breakdown, determine Development Cost, Flyaway Cost, Weapons System Cost, Procurement Cost, Acquisition Cost, and Life Cycle Cost.] Life Cycle Cost Flyaway Cost Program Acquisition Cost Weapon System Cost 7) What is the procurement cost of this system? [9a2. Given a cost breakdown, determine Development Cost, Flyaway Cost, Weapons System Cost, Procurement Cost, and Life Cycle Cost.] Cost Types Cost (millions of dollars) Research, Development, Test & Evaluation $400 Procurement of Prime Mission Equipment $800 Procurement of Support Equipment Procurement of Initial Spares Operations and Support Disposal $100 $100 $70,000 $100 $1,000 million $800 million $900 million $1,400 million 8) Both the Army and Marine Corps have a capability need to procure additional helicopters beyond the number specified in the current contract; the helicopter program is currently in DAU Page 2 of 3 https://learn.dau.mil/Atlas2/html/testengine/TestGeneration/test_review.jsp 10/2/2014 production. What cost estimating technique would the services most likely use as a basis for requesting the funding to pay for the additional aircraft? [9b. Select an appropriate method to estimate the cost of an acquisition program.] Actual Cost Analogy Parametric Engineering 9) Affordability and Should Cost means ________________. [9d. Relate the concepts of Affordability and Should Cost to the planning of an acquisition program.] Performance and schedule tradeoffs will be made to achieve cost objectives. Cost is not related to schedule and performance. Schedule and performance objectives are not negotiable and cannot be adjusted. The Program Manager can focus exclusively on cost. 10) When comparing alternative concepts to provide needed warfighting capabilities, which of the following must be met? [Given a draft Capability Development Document (CDD) and a summary Analysis of Alternatives (AoA), select an appropriate concept, from the perspective of the system developer, to meet the user’s need.] Thresholds Goals Objectives Targets Back to Status page DAU Page 3 of 3 https://learn.dau.mil/Atlas2/html/testengine/TestGeneration/test_review.jsp 10/2/2014 [Show More]
