Correct!!!
Actual cost (AC) - ANSWER✔✔ The actual Amount of monies the project has spent
to date.
Analogous estimating - ANSWER✔✔ An approach that relies on historical
information to predict the cost of the current project. It is also known as top-
down estimating and is the least reliable of all the cost-estimating approaches.
Bottom-up estimating - ANSWER✔✔ An estimating approach that starts from
zero, accounts for each component of the WBS, and arrives at a sum for the
project. It is completed with the project team and can be one of the most time-
consuming and most reliable methods to predict project costs.
Budget estimate - ANSWER✔✔ An estimate that is somewhat broad and is used
early in the planning process as well as in the top-down estimates. The range of
variance for the estimate can be from -10 percent to +25 percent.
Commercial database - ANSWER✔✔ A cost-estimating approach that uses a
database, typically software-driven, to create the cost estimate for a project.

overruns in costs. Contingency reserves are used at the project manager's
discretion and with management's approval to counteract cost overruns for
scheduled activities and risk events.
, Cost aggregation - ANSWER✔✔ Cost are parallel to each WBS work package. The
costs of each work package are aggregated to their corresponding control
accounts. Each control account then is aggregated to the sum of the project costs.
Cost baseline - ANSWER✔✔ A time-lapse exposure of when the project monies
are to be spent in relation to cumulative values of the work completed in the
project.
Cost budgeting - ANSWER✔✔ The cost aggregation achieved by assigning specific
dollar accounts for each of the scheduled activities or, more likely, for each of the
work packages in the WBS. Cost budgeting applies the cost estimates over time.
Cost change control system - ANSWER✔✔ A system that examines any changes
associated with scope changes, the cost of materials, and the cost of any
resources, and the associated impact on the overall project cost.
Cost management plan - ANSWER✔✔ A plan that dictates how cost variances will
be managed.
Cost of poor quality - ANSWER✔✔ The monies spent to recover from not
adhering to the expected level of quality. Examples may include rework, defect
repair, loss of life or limb because safety precautions were not taken, loss of sales,
and loss of customers. This is also known as the cost of nonconformance to
quality.
Cost of quality - ANSWER✔✔ The monies spent to attain the expected level of
quality within a project. Examples include training, testing, and safety
precautions.
