CompTIA Project+ (PK0-004) — Question 48

The executive sponsor asks a project manager to summarize the following for a project:
1. Final capital expenditures.
2. Anticipated cost of new employee resources to support the solution.
3. Maintenance estimates.
Which of the following information should the project manager provide?

Answer options

• A. Cost baseline
• B. Burn rate
• C. Cost variance report
• D. Total project cost

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, Cost baseline, as it encompasses the total planned costs for the project, including capital expenditures and anticipated resource costs. Options B and C focus on specific financial metrics related to project spending over time rather than a comprehensive summary of costs, while D, Total project cost, is not as specific as the cost baseline which details the planned expenditure.
