Funding variances occur when reprogramming actions take place, identify the two types of funding variances?
-
Macro and micro
-
Slippage and stoppage
-
Slippage and accelaration
-
Acceleration and stoppage
Correct Answer
A. Slippage and accelarationExplanation
The correct answer is slippage and acceleration. Funding variances occur when there are changes or adjustments made to the allocated funds. Slippage refers to the situation where there is a delay or lag in the spending of funds, resulting in a variance between the planned and actual expenditure. Acceleration, on the other hand, refers to the situation where there is an increase in the rate of spending, also resulting in a variance. These two types of funding variances highlight different patterns of fund utilization and can have implications for budget management and planning.Rate this question:

-
Reimbursable O&M funds

-
Operations and maintenance
Correct Answer
A. Military construction appropriationExplanation
The Air Force would use military construction appropriation funds to initially construct an NCO open mess facility. These funds are specifically allocated for the construction and improvement of military facilities. They are separate from nonappropriated funds, which are generated from sources like on-base businesses and used for morale, welfare, and recreation programs. Reimbursable O&M funds are used to cover the costs of services provided by one military organization to another. Operations and maintenance funds are typically used for day-to-day operations and maintenance of existing facilities.Rate this question:
