CompTIA Project+ (PK0-005) — Question 311

A project manager and team are reviewing a task that is supposed to take 9 days to complete and cost $3,000. There is a 20% chance that an associated risk related to changing requirements could occur, resulting in network that would add an additional 5 days and $1,000 in costs. Which of the following represents the total amount that should be budgeted for the task?

Answer options

• A. 9 days and $3,000
• B. 10 days and $3,200
• C. 12 days and $3,800
• D. 13 days and $3,600

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as it accounts for the expected additional costs and time due to the risk. The expected value of the risk is calculated as 20% of the additional 5 days and $1,000, which adds 1 day and $200 to the original estimates, resulting in a total of 10 days and $3,200. The other options do not accurately reflect the risk adjustments.
