System
1. What is your assessment about a program with a Cost Performance Index (CPI) of 0.65?
o The project is only 65% complete at this point in time.
✓ The project is costing more than expected, and the contractor may need
additional funds.
o The project is performing efficiently in regard to cost.
o The project is ahead of schedule, but we will need additional funds.
2. What development test would you conduct to see how an item would perform under
tropical condition of heat and moisture?
✓ Environmental Testing
o Live Fire Test and Evaluation (T&E)
o Modification T&E
o Component Testing
3. The following data is received from your contractor: Budgeted Cost of Work Performed (BCWP) =
$200 Budgeted Cost of Work Scheduled (BCWS) = $300 Actual Cost of work Performed (ACWP) =
$400 Budget at Completion (BAC) = $800 Which of the following Earned Value Management
(EVM) metrics can be determined from these data:
o Percent Scheduled = 37.5%, Percent Complete = 25%, Percent Spent = 50%
❖ Percent Scheduled = 33.3%, Percent Complete = 25%, Percent Spent = 100% (Incorrect)
o Percent Scheduled = -$100, Percent Complete = -$200, Percent Spent = $400
o Percent Scheduled = $100, Percent Complete = -$200, Percent Spent = $400
4. is required for all major munitions and missile programs to determine whether the
system can reliably destroy its target.
✓ Lethality Testing
o Environmental Testing
o Survivability Testing
o Vulnerability Testing
5. At each milestone decision point, “exit criteria” are established. Which of the following
best describes exit criteria?
✓ Selected critical, program specific results that must be attained to proceed further
along the acquisition life cycle.
o Core activities that must be accomplished during each phase for all
acquisition programs.
o Broad objectives that must be achieved to satisfy user needs by the time the system
is fielded.
o Listing of key cost, schedule and performance parameters against which the program
is managed
6. The Earned Value Management (EVM) reveals how much it will cost to complete
the program based on current program status.
o Estimate at Completion (EAC)
o Budget at Completion (BAC)
o Budgeted Cost of Work Performed (BCWP)
o To Complete Performance Index (TCPI)
7. Your program is liable for payment on goods and services received under a contract.
Your payment, based on submitted invoice, for all or part of this obligation is a(n) .
