Sample Questions

Question 1
What are the four primary cost estimating methodologies recognized in DoD cost analysis?
Analogy, parametric, engineering build-up, and expert opinion
Regression, Monte Carlo, extrapolation, and interpolation
Should-cost, will-cost, contractor estimate, and independent estimate
Bottoms-up, tops-down, statistical, and historical
Question 2
What is the 'learning curve' concept and how is it applied in Army cost estimating?
As cumulative production quantity doubles, unit cost decreases by a fixed percentage, reflecting worker efficiency gains and process improvements
The cost of training Army personnel decreases as more soldiers are trained
Unit costs increase with quantity due to diminishing supplier competition
Learning curves apply only to software development, not hardware production
Question 3
What is an 'engineering build-up' estimate and when is it most appropriate?
A bottoms-up estimate built from detailed labor, material, and overhead costs for each component; most appropriate when design is mature and detailed technical data are available
An estimate built by analogy to a previously developed similar system
An estimate constructed by engineering the parametric CER from first principles
A rapid estimate prepared early in concept development using engineering judgment
Question 4
What is a 'Cost Estimating Relationship (CER)' and what data is required to develop one?
A mathematical equation relating cost to one or more technical or program parameters, developed using regression analysis of historical cost and technical data
A contractual relationship defining how contractor costs will be reimbursed
A factor converting engineering estimates to contractor bid prices
A lookup table of historical unit costs organized by system type
Question 5
What is the 'coefficient of determination (R²)' and what does it indicate about a CER?
It measures the proportion of variance in cost explained by the independent variable(s); a higher R² indicates a better statistical fit
It measures the ratio of explained cost to total program budget
It indicates the number of data points used to develop the CER
It measures the correlation between two independent cost drivers
