,Section A - Identifying Revenue Streams
Q1.
A school district is considering a new vocational program. Which revenue stream requires
the most careful legal scrutiny due to potential restrictions on use?
A. State per-pupil funding B. Federal Perkins grant
C. Local property tax revenue D. Private donation from an alumni
foundation
Correct: B - Federal Perkins grant
Rationale:Federal grants like Perkins have strict allowable-use rules and compliance
requirements. State per-pupil funding, local property taxes, and donations have fewer
restrictions, though donations may have donor intent constraints. The correct answer is B.
Q2.
A university's endowment has a spending rate of 5% and a 10-year average return of 7%.
Inflation is 2.5%. What is the real net contribution to the operating budget per $1 million of
endowment?
A. $50,000 B. $25,000
C. $45,000 D. $20,000
Correct: B - $25,000
Rationale:The spending amount is $50,000 (5% of $1M). However, to maintain purchasing
power, the endowment must retain enough to cover inflation. The real net contribution is
spending minus inflation-adjusted principal erosion: $50,000 - ($1M * 2.5%) = $50,000 -
$25,000 = $25,000. The return rate is irrelevant to the spending rule but ensures
sustainability. Thus, B is correct.
Q3.
A school administrator is creating a personnel budget. Which approach best aligns with
zero-based budgeting principles?
A. Using last year's budget plus a 3% B. Justifying every position based on current
inflation factor student needs and program objectives
C. Allocating funds equally across all D. Basing the budget on projected
departments enrollment without program review
Correct: B - Justifying every position based on current student needs and program
objectives
Page 3
, Section A - Identifying Revenue Streams
Rationale: Zero-based budgeting requires starting from zero and justifying every expense,
including personnel, based on current needs and objectives. Option A is incremental
budgeting, C is egalitarian, and D is enrollment-driven without justification. B is correct.
Q4.
A district is negotiating a new teacher contract. Which factor most significantly impacts
long-term personnel budget sustainability?
A. Starting salary B. Step-and-lane salary schedule
C. Health insurance premium share D. Number of professional development
days
Correct: B - Step-and-lane salary schedule
Rationale:Step-and-lane schedules create predictable but escalating costs as teachers gain
experience and education. Long-term sustainability depends on the trajectory of these
increments. Starting salary, insurance share, and PD days have less compounding effect.
Thus, B is correct.
Q5.
A private school is considering a tuition increase. Which economic concept best explains
the potential trade-off between higher tuition and enrollment?
A. Price elasticity of demand B. Marginal cost of instruction
C. Opportunity cost of facilities D. Economies of scale
Correct: A - Price elasticity of demand
Rationale:Price elasticity of demand measures how sensitive enrollment is to tuition changes.
If demand is elastic, a tuition increase could reduce total revenue. Marginal cost, opportunity
cost, and economies of scale are relevant but don't directly address the trade-off. A is correct.
Q6.
In a school district, which scenario best illustrates the 'cost-to-serve' concept in
budgeting?
A. Allocating the same per-student amount B. Determining the actual cost of educating
to all schools a student with special needs versus a
general education student
C. Calculating the average teacher salary D. Estimating the total utility costs for all
across the district buildings
Correct: B - Determining the actual cost of educating a student with special needs versus
a general education student
