ID Question Correct

Which of the following statements best describes the purpose of the Acquisition Program
209868 Correct
Baseline (APB)?
Answer: The Acquisition Program Baseline (APB) is the formal agreement between the
Program Manager and the Milestone Decision Authority that sets the program’s cost,
schedule, and performance parameters—stating both objectives and thresholds—and
serves as the baseline against which program execution is managed and measured.
Explanation (step by step):
• The APB’s core purpose is control: it establishes the approved bounds for cost,
schedule, and performance.
• These bounds include objectives (desired) and thresholds (minimum acceptable).
• It provides a single, authoritative baseline for tracking progress and reporting;
deviations beyond thresholds constitute a breach that must be reported and
resolved.
• It is approved by the MDA and used throughout the program to manage risk, make
trade-offs, and ensure the program remains executable.



You are the lead BFM on Project TITAN and have realized that you have a funding
243112 shortfall. Given the following options, which is the best option for staying in alignment Correct
with Cost as an Independent Variable (CAIV) policy?
Answer: The Authorization Act does not need to be enacted.
Explanation:
• Budget authority (BA) is provided by an Appropriations Act. Once the President
signs the appropriations bill, BA is created for the Treasury account.
• After enactment, Treasury issues an appropriation warrant and OMB apportions
the funds; then DoD allocates/allots them down to the programs before
obligations can be made.
• An Authorization Act (e.g., the NDAA) is NOT required to receive BA.
Authorizations permit/guide programs and may set ceilings, but they do not
provide the legal budget authority—the appropriations do.

Your Program Manager and cost estimators have quantified the risk for a project within
221610 the overall program; the cost estimator has identified some items with potentially Correct
unpredictable cost estimates. What should you, as the BFM, do to mitigate the cost risk?

Answer: Work with the PM and cost team to risk-adjust the estimate and budget by
establishing an adequate cost contingency/management reserve for the
“known-unknowns,” tied to specific risk mitigation plans and phased with the schedule.

In which of the following aspects of a program's Acquisition Strategy is the Business
221630 Correct
Financial Manager likely to be involved? (Select two.)
• The BFM is typically heavily involved in the program’s funding strategy (appropriation
mix, affordability constraints, time-phasing, budgeting/BES/PB exhibits).
• The BFM also supports the contracting approach decisions that drive cost and
funding, especially contract type and incentives (e.g., FFP vs. CPIF/CPFF, share
ratios, EVM, progress/performance-based payments).
