Question #: 47
Topic #: 2

[All CIS-SPM Questions]

A project expense line is cost associated with a specific source, except for:

BProgram.

DSoftware.

CResource.

AFixed Assets.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

According to theProject Expense Linesdocument, a project expense line is cost associated with a specific source, such as fixed assets, resource, or software. The program field on the project expense line form is not a source of cost, but a reference to the program that the project belongs to. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Program. The other options are not correct, as they are sources of cost for a project expense line.

Overhead costs? More like "over-the-top" costs, am I right?

I think it could be something like administrative expenses that aren't tied to a specific project source, but I'm not completely sure.

I think a project expense line should include all costs, but there might be exceptions for indirect costs or overhead?

I've got a strategy for this - I'll start by listing out the typical project expenses I know are tied to specific sources, then try to identify any that don't fit that pattern. That should help me find the exception they're looking for.

Wait, what? I'm a little confused by the wording of this question. I'll need to re-read it a few times and make sure I understand what they're asking about project expense lines and sources.

Okay, for this question I need to focus on identifying the exception to the rule that project expenses are tied to a specific source. I'll review my notes on project accounting to see if I can spot the odd one out.

Hmm, this seems like a tricky one. I'll need to think through the different types of project expenses and try to identify any that don't have a specific source associated with them.

I think this question is asking about the exceptions to the general rule that project expenses are associated with a specific source. I'll need to carefully consider what types of expenses might not fit that pattern.
