A major theme park is expanding the existing facility over a five-year period. The design phase will be completed one year after the contract is awarded. Major engineering drawings will be finalized two years after the design contract is awarded and construction will begin three years after the award of the design contract. New, unique ride technology will be used and an estimate will need to be developed to identify these costs that have no historical data.
Profits that could not be formally recognized during a specific financial accounting period because the goods and services did not satisfy all the customer's requirements are:

  1. Marginal profits
  2. Lost profits
  3. Incurred profits
  4. Postponed profits

Answer(s): D

The following is NOT an advantage of the critical path method:

  1. The ability to determine cost overruns of critical path activities
  2. The ability to identify activities that cannot have their schedules slip if the desired project end date is to be achieved
  3. Reveals activities that additional resources need to be dedicated toward
  4. The ability to show slippage in the progress of key activities
