PRINCE2 Practitioner — Question 28

The Sales Director would like to add a new company logo to the 'marketing material'. The change to the project scope has been approved by the project board. It is expected to delay product and stage completion date by 3 days and cost £900. The stage 2 cost tolerance of +£1.000 has not been used. The change budget of £500 has not been used.
Which option describes how this change should be funded?

Answer options

• A. £400 of the stage 2 cost tolerance and the £500 change budget should be used.
• B. £900 needed for the change should be taken from the stage 2 cost tolerance.
• C. £900 of additional funding will need to be requested to pay for the change.
• D. £400 will need to be requested in addition to the £500 change budget.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Option B is correct because the £900 needed for the logo change can be fully funded from the unused stage 2 cost tolerance, which is well above the required amount. Options A and D are incorrect as they involve unnecessary requests when there's sufficient budget available. Option C is wrong because it suggests requesting extra funding despite the available resources.
