Oracle Financial Reporting and Analysis Cloud 2017 Implementation Essentials — Question 22

Your client is involved in automation control systems installation. Over the years, they have analyzed their total project spend on specific resource classes. They have identified that their cost spread distribution factor on a 10 spread point scale resembles: 0-4-10-11-14-13-10-4-0-0.
Identify two ways to handle this kind of a spread on their budgets and forecasts. (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Create a new spread curve or edit an existing spread curve to exactly match the spread points and attach to a project template.
• B. Create a new spread curve or edit an existing spread curve to exactly match the spread points and attach to the resource class.
• C. Use the predefined Bell Curve spread with small deviations on the spread points.
• D. Use the predefined S-Curve spread with small deviations on the spread points.

Correct answer: B, C

Explanation

The correct answer is B and C because creating or editing a spread curve that matches the spread points and linking it to the resource class ensures that budgeting accurately reflects cost distribution. Option A incorrectly suggests linking to a project template, which would not specifically address resource class needs. Options C and D both suggest using predefined spreads, but only the Bell Curve (C) is suitable for slight adjustments to match the identified spread pattern.
