Question 5

Which of the following is true regarding WBS?&#10;A) It is equivalent to PERT&#10;B) You must use a verb + object when writing the task&#10;C) It is the longest path with the shortest amount of float

Accepted Answer

WBS stands for Work Breakdown Structure, which is a hierarchical decomposition of work that needs to be done in a project. The task description in the WBS should always use a verb + object format to make it clear and specific. A is incorrect because PERT (Program Evaluation and Review Technique) is a method to analyze and represent the tasks involved in completing a project. C is incorrect because it describes the critical path, not the WBS.

Capital budgets and operating budgets are not the same thing. Capital budgets are prepared for venue development and involve large investments in infrastructure, equipment, and property. Operating budgets, on the other hand, are prepared for day-to-day operations and include expenses such as salaries, utilities, and supplies. Revenues refer to the inflows of assets, while expenses refer to the outflow of assets, which is true.
