A. Analogous estimates
B. Three-point estimates
C. Parametric estimates
D. Bottom-up estimates
B. Estimativas de três pontos podem aprimorar as estimativas dos custos das atividades porque controlam o nível de incertezas e riscos das estimativas.
Kim 5.7) You have received estimates for activity costs associated with one work package of the WBS. Additional contingencies have been added to the estimates to account for cost uncertainty. Which of the following tools and techniques of Estimate Costs does this describe?
A. Reserve analysis
B. Three-point estimates
C. Vendor bid analysis
D. Analogous estimates
A. A análise das reservas leva em conta o nível de incertezas dos custos incluindo uma reserva para contingências, normalmente expressa como uma porcentagem do custo estimado.
Kim 5.8) You have received the following estimates for a complex activity that is critical to the success of your project. The most likely estimate is $42, the optimistic estimate is $35, and the pessimistic estimate is $54. What is the expected activity cost of this activity (rounded to the nearest dollar)?
A. 49
B. 39
C. 43
D. 41
C. O custo esperado da atividade é calculado desta forma: (4 x Mais provável + Otimista + Pessimista) /6. Portanto, a resposta é (4x42+35+54)/6=43
Kim 5.9) You are the project manager for a custom home-building construction company. You are working on the model home project for the upcoming Show Homes Tour. The model home includes Internet connections in every room, talking appliances, and wiring for home theaters. You are working on the cost performance baseline for this project. All of the following statements are true except which one?
A. This process aggregates the estimated costs of project activities, including risks and contingency reserves.
B. The cost performance baseline will be used to measure variances and future project performance.
C. This process assigns cost estimates for expected future period operating costs.
D. The cost performance baseline is the time-phased budget at completion for the project.
C. Os custos operacionais futuros são considerados custos contínuos e não fazem parte dos custos do projeto.
Kim 5.10) Your project sponsor has requested a cost estimate for the project. She would like the cost estimate to be as accurate as possible because this might be her one and only chance to secure the budget for this project because of recent cuts in special projects. You decide to use _______________.
A. analogous estimating techniques
B. bottom-up estimating techniques
C. top-down estimating techniques
D. expert judgment techniques
B. As técnicas bottom-up são as estimativas de elaboração mais demoradas e geralmente mais precisas que você pode utilizar. Nelas, cada item de trabalho é estimado e somado para se chegar ao total do projeto.
Kim 5.11) You are the project manager for a custom home-building construction company. You are working on the model home project for the upcoming Show Homes Tour. The model home includes Internet connections in every room, talking appliances, and wiring for home theaters. You are working on the Determine Budget process. All of the following statements are true except which one?
A. You document the funding limit reconciliation to include a contingency for unplanned risks.
B. You discover that updates are needed to the risk register as a result of performing this process.
C. You document that funding requirements are based on a quarterly basis and are derived from the cost baseline.
D. The performance measurement baseline will be used to perform earned value management
calculations.
A. A reconciliação do limite de recursos financeiros preocupa-se com reconciliar os fundos a serem investidos no projeto com os limites de financiamento impostos sobre os comprometimentos de financiamento para o projeto.
Kim 5.12) Which of the following is displayed as an S curve?
A. Funding requirements
B. Cost performance baseline
C. Cost estimates
D. Expenditures to date
B. A linha de base de desempenho dos custos é exibida como uma curva em S por causa do modo com as despesas do projeto ocorrem. Os gastos se iniciam lentamente, aceleram até atingir o pico das despesas e depois vão reduzindo à medida que o projeto vai se aproximando do fim.
Kim 5.13) All of the following are tools and techniques of the Determine Budget process except for which one?
A. Reserve analysis
B. Expert judgment
C. Historical relationships

D. O custo da qualidade é uma ferramenta e técnica de Estimar os Custos. As ferramentas e técnicas de Determinar o Orçamento são agregação de custo, análise das reservas, opinião especializada, relações históricas e reconciliação do limite de recursos financeiros.
Kim 5.14) Your project sponsor has requested a cost estimate for the project on which you’re working. This project is similar in scope to a project you worked on last year. She would like to get the cost estimates as soon as possible. Accuracy is not her primary concern right now. She needs a ballpark figure by tomorrow. You decide to use ___________________.
A. analogous estimating techniques
B. bottom-up estimating techniques
C. parametric estimating techniques
D. three-point estimating techniques
A. As técnicas de estimativa análoga - ou TOP-DOWN - são uma forma de opinião especializada. Como o projeto atual é semelhante ao do ano passado, é possível utilizar as estimativas de custos do projeto anterior para ajudá-lo a calcular rapidamente as estimativas para o projeto atual.
