ASQ Certified Manager of Quality / Organizational Excellence (CMQ/OE) — Question 45
A benefit-cost analysis can best be used to:
Answer options
- A. align project costs with original budget forecasts
- B. evaluate the performance of project team members
- C. compare the performance of different project teams
- D. compare savings earned against resources invested
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is B because a benefit-cost analysis is primarily focused on evaluating the effectiveness and efficiency of project team members by comparing benefits gained against the costs incurred. The other options do not accurately reflect the primary purpose of a benefit-cost analysis, as they relate to budget alignment or performance comparison instead.
